Is staying at Disney hotels worth it? Pros and cons

When it comes to planning a trip to Disney, you’ll eventually need to choose where to stay. After seeing the park ticket prices, it’s easy to panic and just book the cheapest hotel, apartment, or place you can find—without even checking if the location is good, if there’s transportation, or if you’ll be charged for parking every day, etc. That’s why, my friends, I’m here to tell you why staying at a Disney hotel is totally worth it!

There are so many perks, you won’t believe some of them even exist!

PROS:

EARLY PARK ENTRY

You probably already knew about this one, but wait—there’s so much more. Early Park Entry lets you arrive 30 minutes before the park officially opens and do “Rope Drop,” where you can walk quickly (not run, trust me, they’ll call you out on it 😉 ) to the park’s most popular rides. This way, you avoid the 2-hour lines that form once the non-hotel guests are allowed in.

FREE TRANSPORTATION TO THE PARKS AND DISNEY SPRINGS

Depending on where you’re staying, you can use BUSES, the SKYLINER (gondola), or BOATS to get to all four theme parks, the two water parks, and Disney Springs. A bonus: when you go to Disney Springs, you won’t have to go through the security checks that everyone arriving by car has to endure, which often leads to long, uncomfortable lines. Plus, you won’t have to worry about leaving the parks, walking forever to the parking lot, and trying to find where you parked. The buses are right at the exit, so no extra walking! And after a long day, you don’t have to drive through a city full of highways when you’re already exhausted. TRUST ME, there’s nothing better than being dropped off right at your hotel’s doorstep, without anyone needing to drive after a day of walking 24,000 steps—which is the bare minimum you’ll walk!

FREE PARKING AT HOTELS AND PARKS

If you think this isn’t important, YOU’RE WRONG, my friend—it’s super important! Do you know how much parking at the parks costs? $35 per day. And if you keep adding that up, it’ll take a big chunk out of your budget. If you rented a car, you can park it for free without wasting extra gas or paying for hotel parking, which would be another $35. You’re saving around $70 a day, which you’d definitely have to factor in if you chose to stay elsewhere.

FLEXIBILITY IN PAYMENT METHODS

When you book what’s called a “package,” it means you’re reserving both your tickets and hotel. You can secure this with just $200, locking in your rate before prices go up. You can do this months in advance and pay however you like, with up to 30 days before your trip to finish paying it off. So when it’s time to travel, everything is already paid and ready to go—no need to worry about extra expenses! Plus, when you go through Customs (and we all know how strict they can be), it’s a big advantage to have everything paid for, as they always ask how much money you’re carrying to cover your trip!

RESERVATIONS FOR LIGHTNING LANE, SINGLE RIDER, AND MULTIPASS BEFORE YOUR TRIP

With this new system similar to the old “FastPass,” you can make reservations up to 7 days before your trip if you’re staying at a Disney hotel. You also need to be within the U.S., but for those tips, you can reach out to me later! 😉 If you’re not staying at a Disney hotel, you can book up to 3 days in advance, but by then, the most popular attractions will likely be fully booked.

RESTAURANT RESERVATIONS

If you’re new to the Disney experience, you might think restaurant reservations aren’t that important. You might believe that if you want to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner with Disney characters, you can just walk into the restaurant that day and ask for a table. Well, NO—it’s not that easy. Reservations for these restaurants are always booked up, and you might not even know how to make them. That’s where I come in! If you’re traveling with a Certified Agent, the consultation is free. Yes, FREE! Disney pays me separately, so you’ll pay the same price as you would on the official website, but I make the reservations through Disney’s official system for Agents. And if you book a package, this allows us to link your reservation to the My Disney Experience app, letting you book restaurants UP TO 60 DAYS BEFORE YOUR TRIP! This way, you won’t miss out on a spot and will have a unique experience!

MAGICAL EXTRAS

When you book a package with a Certified Disney Agent, you receive a little gift from the Walt Disney Travel Company. You’ll get beautiful tags featuring various Disney characters for your luggage. Plus, you’ll receive a magical blue card that not many people know how to use, which offers discounts at shops and restaurants in Disney Springs. It also grants you tickets to play mini golf at Disney, a super fun experience—just like those mini golf courses you see in the movies! There are even more benefits included, but I’ll share those with you later!

PACKAGE DELIVERY TO YOUR ROOM

Can you imagine falling in love with a huge plush toy for your child or a beautiful Lounge Fly backpack, but you don’t want to carry it around the park? Well, you don’t have to! Disney will hold onto it for you and deliver it straight to your hotel room. What excellent service, right?

MEAL PLAN

Do you want to travel without having to worry about anything, just like you would at an all-inclusive resort? This way, you can book a package that includes your hotel, park tickets, transportation, and a Dining Plan (an extra you can add if you’re staying at a Disney hotel). You won’t have to think about anything other than relaxing and enjoying yourself since everything will be paid for and sorted out, just like at an all-inclusive!

THE DISNEY MAGIC

Finally, there’s the magic of being in the Disney Zone (the bubble) all the time! Being on Disney property, without having to leave or drive a lot to get to a park or Disney Springs, is just wonderful. Everything is perfect; everything is magical, and this way, the magic never ends. From the moment you arrive to when you leave your hotel, you’re in the magic bubble 24/7. Trust me, once you experience it, you won’t want to stay anywhere else but a Disney hotel!

The Best Outlets in Orlando – Disney!

Orlando is not just about theme parks, Mickey Mouse, and roller coasters! This city has established itself as an ideal destination for shopping enthusiasts, offering great prices on clothing, sneakers, technology, and more at outlets, malls, and shopping centers!

In this post, I’ll share everything you need to know to make the most of your trip and optimize your shopping time! I’ve created a ranking based on my experience visiting Orlando every year from 2010 to 2024. The reality is that sometimes you’ll find better promotions at different outlets since it’s not linear and depends on the season, the brands you’re interested in, and many other factors!

Also, keep in mind that there are special discount days, such as February 19 (President’s Day), May 27 (Memorial Day), July 4 (Independence Day), September 2 (Labor Day), and Black Friday or Cyber Monday (usually at the end of November), as well as Christmas, etc. It’s important to pay attention to the calendar and plan your shopping day around these special dates! We once went on July 4 and saw items with 80% and 70% discounts, only to return the next day to find the same items had dropped to a mere 20% off.

Some people say that Premium Outlets are no longer cheap, but keep in mind that they are still cheaper than prices in Argentina. Additionally, if you consider several of the tips I’ll provide, you can find some excellent deals!

The 5 Best Outlets in Orlando:

1. Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet:

Personally, this is my favorite outlet for several reasons. Although it’s a bit smaller than the Orlando International Premium Outlet, it has the stores I love the most, and I always seem to find better discounts!

At this outlet, you’ll find sports and outdoor brands like NIKE, Adidas, Puma, Asics, Under Armour, The North Face, Columbia, New Balance, Oakley, Hurley, Reebok, and more. For clothing, there are brands like Armani, Boss, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana, Forever 21, Gap, GUCCI, GUESS, Lacoste, Levi’s, Polo Ralph Lauren, PRADA, Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, and many others. For shoes and sneakers, you’ll find Aldo, Crocs, Journeys, Vans, Converse, among others, as well as children’s brands like Carter’s, OshKosh, and Gap Kids, along with hundreds of other brands.

This outlet is part of the Simon chain, which offers significant discounts on various brands. To access these discounts, you need to download the app and register! Here’s the link: Simon Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet

Location: 8200 Vineland Ave, Orlando, FL 32821, Estados Unidos 
General schedules: 10 AM to 9 PM (On Sundays, hours may vary and close at 7 PM during the low season).
web: Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets

Important Tips:

  1. Most stores offer you the option to sign up for their newsletter, providing discounts of up to an additional 10%. They usually just ask for your email or phone number. What I do is accept it and use different email addresses if I return to the same store to make another purchase.
  2. There are stores like The North Face, Gap, Forever 21, and more that are located in a different area, requiring you to cross a road to get to them! Many people don’t know this and miss out on the fantastic discounts from these big brands.
  3. With each purchase, your receipts include discounts you can use at other brands—definitely check them out! Sometimes, there are very attractive discounts available!

  4. It’s a good idea to go in the morning because at night, when they close, that’s when they put out the deals and organize the clothes for the next day! In the afternoon/evening, it’s the busiest time, and everything is usually in disarray, with the best items already gone!

2. Orlando Outlet Marketplace.

This is definitely the outlet where I’ve consistently found the best discounts! While there are only a few brands, the discounts are unbeatable. Here, you’ll find stores like NIKE, Adidas, Under Armour, Puma, Calvin Klein, Guess, New Balance, Carter’s, and a few others.

It has several advantages: it’s small, there aren’t usually many people, there’s plenty of parking, the stores are quite spacious (except for Nike), it often has the best discounts, and it’s super close to the Orlando International Premium outlets. I recommend starting here and then crossing over to the International to do both in one day.

Location: 5269 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819, Estados Unidos
Schedules: 10 AM to 9 PM (Sundays until 7 PM). Hours may vary depending on the season.
Web: https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/orlando-outlet-marketplace

Tips for Orlando Outlet Marketplace:

  1. Start your shopping day at this outlet and then head to the Orlando International Premium Outlets, which is very close by.
  2. You’ll probably buy a lot and need to leave your bags in the car. While it usually doesn’t happen, a couple of friends had all their bags filled with purchases stolen from their car because they left them in plain sight! So, just like you would in your Latin American country, don’t take chances—make sure to hide your belongings in the trunk before moving your car to the other outlet.

3. Orlando International Premium Outlet:

alquiler de auto Dinsey - Outlets Rentennials

It’s the largest outlet in Orlando, with countless brands, and it often gets crowded due to its popularity! You’ll find the most significant brands here. There’s even a small Disney outlet store where you can find some items—not a lot, but at much better prices compared to the parks.

You’ll come across sports and outdoor brands like NIKE, Adidas, Puma, Asics, Fila, Under Armour, The North Face, Columbia, New Balance, Oakley, Quiksilver, Hurley, Volcom, Reebok, and more. For clothing, you’ll find brands such as H&M, Armani, Boss, Banana Republic, Victoria’s Secret, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, DKNY, Forever 21, Gap, GUESS, Lacoste, Levi’s, Polo Ralph Lauren, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, and many others. For shoes and sneakers, there are Aldo, Crocs, Champion, Journeys, Vans, Converse, Skechers, among others, and for kids, you’ll find Carter’s, OshKosh, and Gap Kids, along with hundreds of other brands.

Location: 4951 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819, Estados Unidos
Schedule: 10 AM to 9 PM (Sundays until 7 PM). Hours may vary depending on the season.
Web: https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/orlando-international

Tips for International Premium Outlet:

  1. Just like at the Vineland outlet, download the Simon app to access discounts, check your receipts as they always include additional discounts, and register with your email at the stores to gain access to extra savings.
  2. Try to go early to secure parking and have a more relaxed shopping experience, especially during peak season.
  3. If you know you’re going to go crazy with shopping (like everyone does), bring a wheeled suitcase to make it easier to carry everything; otherwise, it can be impossible to walk around with so many bags! If you need to buy a suitcase, they sell them there, but they’re not usually cheap—except at the Samsonite store. You can find great prices at Ross, Marshall’s, or Walmart and take it with you that day! You’ll remember this tip the day you go and forget to bring a suitcase! hahaha
  4. Keep in mind that you’ll leave this outlet absolutely exhausted, as you’ll be doing a lot of walking, it can get very hot, and you’ll spend a lot of time standing around. Plan to return to your hotel for a bit to drop off your bags and rest before doing anything else.

4. The Florida Mall:

It’s considered one of the largest indoor shopping malls in Florida, and it has gained popularity with the recent opening of Primark! There are countless brands, but I think the standout ones are ZARA, H&M, Primark, and Apple. It also features Hollister, Adidas, Dick’s (which is a very large sports store), Macy’s, Forever 21, GAP, JCPenney, Pink, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, Uniqlo, Vans, among many others.

While it’s not my favorite, it has some major brands that make it a must-visit. Plus, it has a play area for kids that my daughter really enjoyed!

Location: 8001 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL 32809, Estados Unidos
Schedule: 10 AM to 9 PM (Sundays from 11 AM to 7 PM). Hours may vary depending on the season.
Web:
https://www.simon.com/mall/the-florida-mall

5. Ross, Marshalls, Burlington:

You can’t go to Orlando without visiting these stores countless times! There are several, spread across various locations, and they offer the best prices. These stores buy surplus clothing from major brands and resell it at a lower price. They don’t just have clothing; you’ll also find footwear, luggage, home goods, toys, and a variety of other items!

Many people feel overwhelmed upon entering, as there are long racks filled with clothes, and it’s hard to know where to start. But those who look will find treasures! The good thing is that, although it may not seem like it, everything is organized by size and type of clothing. The key is to search thoroughly. You can find beautiful items from big brands at ridiculous prices!

Location: Several! Just search for any of these names on Google, and you’ll find smaller shopping centers with at least two of these brands.

Tips for Ross, Marshall y Burlington:

  1. Check, check, and check again! There are many hidden gems among those racks! You just need to take the time to look carefully!
  2. Look for tables with additional discounts and check for special deals!
  3. The lines at the checkout can be long, so plan your timing well. You might encounter very long lines when you go to pay!

Other malls that aren’t outlets but are definitely worth a visit!

Disney Springs:

It’s located in Disney and is a charming outdoor shopping center with plenty of restaurants, clothing stores, live shows, the largest Disney store, and much more.

Disney Springs is a must-visit if you’re going to Disney! Personally, I love this place, and it’s essential to go at night because there are always live music shows at various spots, the new drone show, and the atmosphere is always at Disney standards.

You’ll find clothing stores like ZARA, Uniqlo, Under Armour, Ron Jon, Columbia, Sephora, Anthropologie, Lacoste, MAC, Harley Davidson, Volcom, and many more! There are also must-visit stores such as: The LEGO store and World of Disney the largest gift shop in Disney, where you’ll find absolutely everything, from keychains, sweets, plush toys, and clothing to home goods and much more—all Disney-themed!

Restaurants: There are many options, and if you have a Disney dining plan, you can use it here as well! In fact, the food is infinitely better than at the hotels or parks! The last time we went, we had the Quick Service Dining Plan and took advantage of it by dining here every night! My recommendation is the restaurant The Polite Pig! The portions are huge, and it was some of the best food we had! (They accept the Quick Service Dining Plan.) There are many other restaurants, such as Planet Hollywood, Rain Forest Café, T-Rex Café, The Boathouse, D-Lux Burger (also highly recommended for their giant, delicious burgers that accept the Quick Service Dining Plan), Blaze Pizza (also accepts the Quick Service Dining Plan), and many more!

You can’t leave without trying the best cookies you’ll ever have at Gideon’s Bakehouse

Tips for Disney Springs:

  1. Go at sunset; it’s the best time! You can enjoy the live music shows, the beautiful lights and decorations, and find a good spot to watch the drone show!
  2. If you’re going by car, Uber, or any transportation that isn’t Disney, you’ll go through the same security checks and scanners as in the parks! Try not to bring a backpack or anything that might slow you down during the check! Selfie sticks, magnets, and thermoses are often flagged for a manual inspection!
  3. Parking is free! The Lime Parking Garage is the closest to the clothing stores and World of Disney, but you can also opt for the Orange Garage, which drops you off nearby. I don’t recommend the Grapefruit Garage because it requires more walking!

Universal CityWalk Orlando

It is located at the entrance to Universal and Islands of Adventure, and it’s very beautiful!

I also recommend going at sunset and staying for dinner at one of the restaurants, catching a live music show, and exploring the area!

Highly recommended to go to The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast .

I’ll leave you the photo because it’s hard to explain, but it’s a giant chocolate factory in the style of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and you can obviously sit down to eat or have an afternoon snack, buy different chocolates, etc.! The decor is spectacular, and even the waiters and staff are super well-dressed!

You can also find Hard Rock Café, where you can sit down to eat, shop at the store, or catch a live show!

Summary:

In conclusion, Disney has the best outlets, malls, and shopping centers, making it an excellent place to shop. Every time we go, we end up returning with two large suitcases each, plus a carry-on, a backpack, and bags in our hands! It’s unavoidable because you’ll find that buying a t-shirt, a sweater, or even a pair of shoes is cheaper than getting a hamburger!

I can recommend my sister, who is a Disney and Universal Agent, to help you navigate your trip, find promotions, and organize your itinerary for this amazing journey!

Instagram: @esdisneytime

 

And from my side, I can tell you that since 2010 until today (2024), I have been going to Disney every year (except for 2020 due to the pandemic), and in the last two years, I’ve gone four times. I can only say that not renting a car is the worst decision you can make! The convenience of renting a car, which is not expensive at all, is undeniable! Yes, I also use Disney transportation, but as I explain in this post, Orlando is more than just theme parks, and taking UBER for shopping is impossible, not to mention that you end up spending more. You will completely regret not having rented a car in advance!

Renting a car with Rentennials is the best option to enjoy Disney as you deserve! You will find plenty of options, from cheap cars to luxury ones, with unlimited tolls, without tolls, whatever you want! Highly recommended!

Recommendations for renting a car in Miami

Here’s the English translation of the text:

When planning a trip to Miami – United States, several frequently asked questions come up. In this post, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know to explore Miami or any city in the state of Florida, USA.

Let’s get started!

Is it worth renting a car in Miami?

The undisputed answer to this question is: Yes! Let us tell you why.

Unfortunately, the transportation system in Miami is not very good, and you might have to wait up to 2 hours for a bus. And while you could use Uber or Lyft, keep in mind that the distances are long, and you may end up spending more money than renting a car would cost. Renting a car solves everything – it’s much more convenient for getting around, and best of all, you can shop at all the malls and outlets without any issues. There are so many, and you won’t want to miss a single one.

Miami is a shopping destination:

We’ll be doing another post on the malls you can’t miss during your stay in Miami, but to name a few: Sawgrass Mills (1 hour from Miami Beach), one of the largest outlets in the United States. Without the convenience of a car, getting there would be difficult. There’s also Aventura Mall, where you’ll find high-end brands like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, ZARA, and many more. And Dolphin Mall, another huge outlet, where in addition to big-name brands, you’ll find stores like Ross, Burlington, Five Below, and Marshall, among others! All of them are far away, and you won’t want to miss any! I insist: with Uber, you’ll spend much more than the cost of renting a car for a day!

Check out our post on What to Do in Miami During a 5-Day Stay to see all the places you can explore by car.

Visit Brickell, Miami Design District, and Wynwood

It will depend a lot on where you’re staying and how far these places are, but for example, many Argentinians tend to book accommodations in Hollywood, Sunny Isles, Hallandale, or North Beach. A round trip with Uber can cost as much as two days of car rental, and there’s no argument about the comfort of having a car to explore these areas.

Visit Key West, Orlando

If you’re planning to visit either of these two places, there’s no doubt that renting a car in Miami is a must. You’ll save a lot of money and be able to travel in the most comfortable, economical, and efficient way possible. Discover all the car rental options we offer in Miami with Rentennials to ensure the best price, the best service, and the best car rental experience you’ll find in Miami!

Recommendations for renting a car in Orlando (Disney)

Is it worth renting a car in Orlando?

If you’re going to Orlando, there are several things to consider. First, if you’re arriving in Miami and need to drive to Orlando, it’s approximately a 4-hour drive with moderate traffic. While they’ve recently launched a train 🚉 connecting Miami to Orlando (Brightline), it can be quite expensive, especially if you have several passengers. Plus, you’ll need to pay extra for large suitcases 😱. For this reason, one of the best options to travel from Miami to Orlando is to rent a car. And be cautious with Disney agents or forums that say you don’t need to rent a car in Orlando! While it’s true that you might spend much of your day exploring a theme park, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Parking at Disney hotels and parks:

For example, if you stay at a Disney hotel, parking is free both at the hotel and the park. However, at Universal Studios, you will need to pay for parking at the hotels and parks within the chain.

Outlets in Disney Orlando:

Orlando, or better known as Disney, isn’t just about theme parks! It’s also a great shopping destination! There are major outlets, such as Premium Outlets at its various locations (Premium Outlets Vineland, Premium Outlets International Drive), or the most affordable outlet, Orlando Marketplace, as well as The Florida Mall, The Loop, and The Mall at Millenia.

Supermarkets:

Don’t forget about Walmart! There are several locations, and they’re perfect for visiting whenever you have some free time! We could keep listing countless places like Costco (a hypermarket chain that has everything), BestBuy (a giant electronics store), and much more, which we’ll leave for another post. But believe me, visiting all these shopping spots without a car would be impossible! That’s why renting a car with Rentennials is your best option!

What to do in Miami on your 5 days trip

Welcome to the paradise of sun and white sand beaches. The coasts of Miami, located in southeastern Florida, await you to spend unforgettable days. Do you want to make the most of your time and don’t know where to start?

Here is a 5-day itinerary from morning, afternoon, and evening with the must-do activities so you don’t miss a thing and have the best experience!

 

Day 1: South Beach

Morning

Explore South Beach, enjoy the beach, and walk along Ocean Drive.

Visiting South Beach means getting to know the capital of Art Deco buildings, with shapes and colors as extravagant as the people who roam the place.

Ocean Drive is the most prominent location of Art Deco and therefore, the most famous street in Miami, where you can see over 800 Art Deco buildings built between 1930 and 1940.

The hotels located between 6th and 9th streets on Ocean Drive are the most representative, where the combination of colors, pink flamingos, suns, and neon lights abound.

Finish the tour by having a drink at one of its trendy pubs and bars.

Afternoon

Visit the Pérez Art Museum, the PAMM is the largest contributor to Miami’s prominence as a destination for discovering contemporary and modern art. The three-story building, designed by award-winning architects, evokes beauty and intrigue to the visitor, while its unusual and beautiful architecture captivates with the treasures it hides inside.

Explore a modern and contemporary art museum dedicated to collecting and exhibiting international art from the 20th and 21st centuries. Get there with Rentennials.

Evening

We recommend having dinner at a restaurant in South Beach and enjoy its vibrant nightlife. Terras is a beautiful place to, with a quiet and cozy atmosphere, giving you a unique view of the city from its terraces and the best experience.

 

Day 2: Little Havana

Morning

Go to Little Havana and explore Calle Ocho, try Cuban food, and visit Domino Park.

Calle Ocho is the most famous street in Little Havana, it is very commercial, but at the same time full of nightlife and restaurants, mostly Latin, joy and music never lacks.

This street is walked, so we recommend leaving your vehicle in one of the city’s parking lots nearby, the cost is not very high.

Some of the places of Cuban history to visit are:

  • Cuban Memories Plaza
  • Walk of Stars
  • Street art mural
  • Máximo Gómez Park

Some of our favorite restaurants with typical Cuban flavors are:

  • La Carreta
