About Flying into Walt Disney World Orland

Airports: The Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the major airport in the area. Large charter flights fly into Sanford Orlando International Airport, but ground transportation must be considered, as it is about 35 miles away from the Disney area. A package deal with a flight into the Tampa Airport (TPA) which includes airfare, a rental car and beach accommodations can be a great way to visit both Tampa and Disney World. Package deals can save you money by consolidating airfare, hotel and transportation costs. AAA or AARP also offer discounts on Orlando package deals. You can find package offers in the travel section of your local newspaper, although be wary to the "too good to be true" deal. Also, ads in travel magazines like Travel & Leisure may be helpful. Package offers are available at: Liberty Travel 1-888-271-1584 American Express Vacations 800-241-1700 Disney Vacation Packages: 800 828-0228 American Airlines Fly Away Vacations 800 321-2121 Delta Dream Vacations 800-872-7786 U.S. Air Vacations 800 455-0123 Disney Institute 800-4-WONDER You might also consider joining the Magic Kingdom Gold Club (800 56-DISNEY) for a custom made package deal.

Disney World TIP: each child/adult MUST have their own belly pack. Why should Mom or Dad carry everything? Rule Number Two—put a small plastic bottle of spring water in each pack. When it’s empty, the person simply finds the nearest drinking fountain (they’re outside each restroom) and refills it. A cool drink of water is far more thirst quenching than a sugary soda.
