Welcome to my Disney and Universal deals page! Here I share my reviews, top tips for the parks and amazing deals to help you with your next holiday.

Here you will find holiday deals for Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, hotels in Orlando that are near the major theme parks, Disneyland Paris stays and my highly recommended stays from previous experience. You can adjust the deal with the amount of adults or children (children’s ages too), departure airport and length of stay on each one-remember this will change the price too. Take a look and see what adventure awaits you.

Planning a trip to Walt Disney World or Universal can feel overwhelming, so let’s break it down and start planning a great trip together.

To start, think about your rough budget.

Then think about dates. Are you tied to half terms? Are you flexible? Think about the weather and what will suit your family.

After that, think about where you want to stay. Is being onsite a priority? Would a villa suit your family? Is staying off site better for your budget? Staying onsite has its advantages but staying off site can be more flexible.

Finally, its the fun part of looking at holidays. Here you’ll find deals for onsite Walt Disney World stays, onsite Universal stays, Hotels near by and some villas, as well as my recommended hotels that I have stayed in so far.
