I am planning on a family vacation to Walt Disney World. We are a family of 5. My children are ages 11 months, my other daugher will be turning 3 and my son 7. I would like to go when its the least crowded with less lines. So I dont mind an off season. I dont want it really hot during the day. But hot enough to be able to go swimming. When is the best time of year to go? Does anyone have any tips for me? Where is the cheapest place to buy the park tickets? I will probably be going to 3 of disney parks, sea world and Universal Studios. If I can find a cheap enough air fare I would love to fly as it takes 18 hours to drive. Then that brings me to rent a car. Wher is the best place to do that? What is the best way of eating at a reasonably price in the parks? If there is anything else you want to add please do. I am trying so hard to be able to make this happen for my kids. So any insider tips you can give would help. Thank You, Denyel

So far you have some great tips, but I was wondering what you would be doing for accomodations. There are some packages that sell accomodations and they also give you some free tickets, but not a whole lot, and you should make sure you get a hotel that has a free shuttle to the theme parks, which will save you a lot of driving yourself around. I stayed in Orlando last year and found the shuttles to be the most useful, when I found out about them. I recommend you have your meals outside the theme parks if possible, as they will be cheaper that way. I hope you will be able to make this happen for your family! Best of luck to you and have fun planning and taking your vacation!

Hi, i have been in Orlando about 10 times in my life, and I am only 25. I will tell you what I would do in your place: - I have traveled in different seasons, and the moment with less people and less crowded is Septembre (from the 1st. to 15th). Lines are really short except for labor day and sometimes you can feel you own the park. - Some days are hot, but in the parks you are many times inside air conditioned places, so the hot climate it is not a big problem. Besides that, swiming is great. - Tickets are cheaper if you buy them online than in Orlando, and if you buy online in Universal youll get free tickets for the children. I hope to have answered your question

Hi , The best place to rent a car is Enterprise.But you will get better deals if you rent a car from a enterprise location clsoe to airport instead of booking at the airport. There are many eateries inside the park ,it depends on your taste.All the eating joints have almost the same price range. Thanks
