Is it better to fly or drive?

Flying is highly recommended due to the long distance and traffic on I-95.

Parking at theme parks is expensive; check if your hotel offers free shuttles.

Like any major city, it has safe and unsafe areas; stick to tourist hubs.

What is the best airport?

Orlando International (MCO) is the primary airport and is very well connected.

It depends on your plans; if you are staying at a resort, you may not need one.
