Destination Orlando
✨Casual CreatorDestination Orlando description on YouTube:
⭐️ OrlandoParksGuy is now Destination Orlando! New name, same everything. If you want to get your Orlando and cruise vacations right, my channel makes it fun and easy to discover, plan, and enjoy an incredible experience every single time. There are so many choices that have to be made at every stage of a trip—from picking the right Disney World Value resort to deciding if a Deluxe Disney hotel is worth the $800-a-night price tag. If you make the wrong choices, you and your family won’t have that incredible experience you’re dreaming of. Whether we are breaking down the Skyliner convenience of Disney's Pop Century, exploring the luxury of Animal Kingdom Lodge, or navigating a Disney Cruise Line or Royal Caribbean sailing, my goal is the same: to help you avoid "rookie mistakes" and treat your vacation budget with the respect it deserves.

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“I loved this ship so much, I'm dedicating an entire playlist to it.”
“nothing beats a Disney Resort Hotel”
“This isn't just another themed hotel. This is a place where Walt Disney actually spent time. That's something none of the Walt Disney World hotels can claim.”
“Every dish is outstanding. This meal alone is worth the trip. On our way back to California Adventure, we take a shortcut through the lobby of the Grand Californian Hotel.”
“Stepping into a concierge isn't just a room upgrade. It's a completely different way of experiencing the ship.”
“personally I thought it was one of the worst restaurants in Disney World so I don't miss it”
“You might walk 10 miles in a single day, spend 45 minutes just waiting for breakfast at your hotel, or even drop $250 to build a lightsaber.”
“Guests find the elevators to be a huge pain point.”
“I believe the term for this type of service now is skimp flation”
“I don't recommend it I think it's much too intense”
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Destination Orlando.
If staying at Pop Century, book a preferred room to be closer to the Skyliner and dining.
Only book All-Star Sports if it is significantly cheaper than other All-Star resorts.
Consider the Disney Skyliner for easier access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
Book reservations for Din Tai Fung in Downtown Disney as they are essential.
Use the kitchenette in the Discovery Tower studios to save money on breakfast.
Consider the Disneyland Hotel for the ability to take midday breaks due to its walking distance to the parks.
Don't bring your luggage on board; drop it off and have it delivered to your room later.
Complete the safety briefing online at home to make muster station check-in effortless.
