Traveler advice

Getting around

Car travel is highly recommended in Orlando.

in College Park there are walkable areas but due to the layout of the Greater Orlando area one must travel by car. Uber and Lyft are always available and inexpensive.
What to pack

If going to a theme park, comfortable shoes are a must!

wear tennis shoes/sneakers when going to Disney, Universal, or Seaworld. You will walk at least 5 miles.
Book before you go

Sit down restaurants

Book dinning reservations online if possible. Many top restaurants can fill up quick due to the current limited capacity regulations.
