Orlando Travel Tips – What to Pack and what to Leave Behind

Orlando Vacation Travel Tips

So, you’ve booked your flights, car hire and Orlando villa, your next dilemma is what to pack!

My biggest tip for packing is to take the largest bag you have and leave plenty of SPACE! After all I’m sure you will be hitting the shops at some point during your stay in Orlando.

The most often asked question is “do we need to pack towels”, the answer is NO! The villa will be stocked with all the towels / linens needed for your stay. Plus they also have washers and dryers for you to use, I’m sure that doing your laundry on your holiday wasn’t top of your list of things to do in Orlando, but it will save you loads of space when packing.

Next on the list of questions is “do we need to pack a hairdryer”, again the answer is NO! Your villa will have one, some even have one in each bathroom, but this is a luxury. Again a great space saver, but on another note, if you have ever plugged a UK hairdryer into a US 110 volt plug, you’d wished you hadn’t bothered! You will have more success drying your hair, running around outside!

VR360homes has over 600 Orlando vacation rentals just minutes from Disney World all of which have there own pools. Below is a link to our latest blog post about side by side vacation rentals which is something a lot of guests ask for. We are constantly updating this list so please let us know if your preferred Orlando community is not listed and we can help you find other side by side Orlando vacation rentals.

Side by Side Orlando Vacation Rentals

We often get asked if we have any Orlando vacation rentals that are side by side / next to each other or opposite so I have put together a list which will help you. This would be ideal for two families or groups of friends that want to be close to each other during there holiday but still have there own space for some quite downtime next to the pool.

You will still need to check the availability of the Orlando rentals with each of the owners, but if you book far enough in advance you should be able to get all of them together.

We have a number of side by side or opposite Orlando vacation rentals on Windsor Hills, Hampton Lakes, Calabria, Calabay Parc, Cypress Pointe, Cumbrian Lakes and Indian Creek. We have lots more as well so please check back as we update this list.

To see our full list of over 600 Orlando vacation rentals please visit our home page and enter your  dates and size of home required and hit search then all you do is contact the owners direct to get a quote and book.

One of the best things about the VR360homes.com site is you only need to fill in the contact form once and your details will be copied from one page to the next making it quick and easy to contact multiple owners.

Universal Studios Orlando App is it worth downloading?

Universal Studios Orlando iPhone App

If you planning to visit Universal Studios Orlando then I would recommend you download the Official Universal Orlando App so you can check out the wait times for each ride as well as much more!

The official Universal Orlando App covers both of the Universal Theme ParksUniversal CityWalkWet’n Wild and the on-site hotels.

One of the main features of the app is being able to monitor the wait times for the attractions, so if you don’t want to wait you can just visit the attraction when you see it’s quiet.

Probably the best feature I have found is that you can set up a wait time alert, so the app will alert you when your favourite attractions have shorter wait times that way you don’t have to keep checking and can get on with having fun
