Disney, Universal & the Real Orlando Experience What’s it really like to take the family to Orlando and tackle Disney World and Universal Orlando? In this episode of Beyond the Boarding Pass, I’m joined by two very special guests — my husband Dave and our daughter Elizabeth — to chat about our recent family holiday to Orlando. We talk about the hotels we stayed in, the Disney and Universal theme parks, water parks, food, queues, the Florida heat and everything in between. We also share the things that surprised us, what we loved, what we’d do differently next time, and our tips for families planning their own Orlando adventure.
