Finally joined! Feb 2023 trip planning

Hello everyone,

After several weeks of lurking I finally signed up!

We (2A 2C) are heading to Orlando in February 2023. This forum is a gold mine of information and helpful folk

Next step for us is deciding on accommodation.

Welcome. We honeymooned in February. Weather was absolutely perfect, but that was 2003!

What you thinking in terms of accommodation? Onsite, off-site, villa…. Etc…..!

That's good to hear! We had checked a few websites for average temperature and were pleasantly surprised. February was chosen partly to an expiring BA companion voucher and school half term for our eldest.

We're going for 16 nights, children 4 and 7.

Accommodation thoughts; we've been round the houses on this!

We had thought villa and car for the flexibility and space, though after reading many posts here I think we're of the opinion (for today anyway!) that an apartment resort setup is where we're heading to, then we have the option of Uber, shuttle or hire car.

The resort option sounds like a good plan. Some of them look fantastic. We’ve never done it but have driven past a few and always thought they looked enticing!
Will you be doing Disney and Universal or just one? That might dictate or assist in the location you chose.

At first it was just Disney but Universal is likely to be added, largely for Harry Potter!

I've read some cool planning posts on staying at Universal for a short stay, getting queue passes and doing it all (or as much we can!) before heading to the main accommodation, we were thinking around the LBV area.

Welcome!

We visited for a for night in Feb 2020 and loved it. Pleasant weather & manageable crowds.

Have a wonderful time planning, let me know if you have any questions about visiting in Feb! X
