I've had so many messages asking about what we did on our Orlando trip, so I thought I'd pop it all here in one place. 💛
Here's the breakdown:
- 7 days at Disney World (we stayed at Disney's All Stars Music Resort and Drury Plaza)
- 5 day Bahamas Cruise (we sailed on the Utopia of the seas)
- 2 days at Universal Studios (we stayed on site at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel)
- 5 days exploring Orlando (we stayed at the Grove Resort)
We had a hire car that I booked via KLOOK using the code BUSYMUMKLOOK for an extra 10% off. We picked this up from the airport and dropped it back there, saving us a lot of money on transfers and transport.
I also covered How much it cost to take my family of 5 to Disney World Here!
✨ Disney World - 7 Days
We had 7-day Park Hopper tickets and spent the full week at the parks. Honestly, it was the perfect amount of time-we got to see everything we wanted (and then some!) thanks to early entry and using Lightning Lanes.
We did move halfway through to an off-site hotel, but next time we'd definitely just stay onsite the whole time-it made a big difference!
🚢 Bahamas Cruise - 5 Days
This was a dream! One of the big reasons for the trip was to hop on Royal Caribbean's newest ship, Utopia of the Seas. It was such a highlight! We visited their private island, CocoCay, and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the top moments of the trip.
🎢 Universal Studios - 2 Days
We stayed onsite at a Premier Resort so we could get the Express Unlimited Passes for free-SO worth it! We packed everything into those two days and had the best time.
🌴 Orlando - 5 Days
We did a day trip to NASA, and if I'm honest… we were kind of over it pretty quickly 😅 The heat didn't help, and unless you're super into space stuff, I'd probably skip it (it was pricey too!).
Now for one of the biggest highlights… Buc-ee's! 🤠 I'd seen it all over TikTok, so we had to check it out. The snacks were next-level and the merch was so cute-we came home with more than we planned 😆
And of course, we made time for shopping 🛍️ We hit up the outlets, a few big malls, and stores like Target, TJMaxx, and more
🍔 Food was a big part of the trip too (we're massive foodies). We tried all the American staples like Raising Cane's, Cheesecake Factory, Chilli's, Denny's, Chick‑fil‑A, Panda Express, Olive Garden, and a few others we'd seen online.
Let me know if you want any tips or more details! I'm happy to share! 😊
