How We Check Things

Orlando changes fast. Parks add lands, restaurants turn over and springs close when they fill up. Here's how the guides stay useful anyway.

Ranges, not price tags

Ticket and parking prices move with the calendar, so we give ranges and comparisons instead of exact figures. Wherever money matters, check the official site before you buy.

"Usually", not a promise

Festival dates, park hours and seasonal closures shift from year to year. When a guide says an event usually runs in October, treat that as a starting point and confirm the dates for your year.

Regular passes

Each guide shows the month it was last checked. Seasonal guides are reviewed before their season starts, and the month-by-month pages are reviewed every year.

What we leave out

We don't rank hotels, and we don't name restaurants that come and go. We'd rather point you to the right street than to a place that might have closed by the time you get there.
