Our Methodology

At Orlando Holiday Planner, our aim is to help UK families plan better, easier and more informed holidays to Orlando.

Orlando holidays can involve theme park tickets, hotels, villas, flights, car hire, airport transfers, food costs, attraction rules, booking terms, seasonal events and travel requirements. Prices, opening dates, availability and policies can change regularly, so we aim to make our guides practical, transparent and based on reliable information.

This page explains how we research, write, review and update our Orlando holiday guides.


How We Research Our Guides

We use official and reliable sources wherever possible.

When creating or updating a guide, we may check information from sources such as:

  • Official theme park websites

  • Official hotel and resort websites

  • Official attraction websites

  • Official ticket provider websites

  • Airline and airport websites

  • Car hire and transport provider websites

  • Official tourism websites

  • UK Government travel advice where relevant

  • Booking terms, policies, FAQs and help pages published by providers

We prioritise first-party sources because they are usually the most reliable place to check current prices, rules, booking conditions, ticket inclusions, opening dates, hotel policies and provider terms.

Where information is based on a provider’s own website, we still encourage readers to check the relevant provider directly before booking, as details may change without notice.


What We Check

Depending on the guide, we may review:

  • Current published ticket prices

  • What is included with different ticket types

  • Park entry, reservation or date-based booking requirements

  • Ride, show and attraction information

  • Hotel locations, facilities and fees

  • Resort fees, parking charges and other extra costs

  • Cancellation, amendment and refund terms

  • Transport options and approximate journey times

  • Seasonal event dates

  • Family suitability

  • UK traveller considerations

  • Overall value and convenience

Our aim is not simply to repeat information from official websites. We interpret the details and explain what they may mean for UK families planning an Orlando holiday.


How We Review Prices and Costs

Travel prices can change frequently. This includes theme park tickets, hotels, villas, flights, car hire, food, parking, special events and exchange-rate-sensitive costs.

When we mention prices, we aim to use recent publicly available information from official websites, ticket providers or booking providers. Where prices vary by date, season, exchange rate, availability, age, party size or provider, we try to make that clear.

Any prices shown on Orlando Holiday Planner should be treated as a guide only. They are not a guaranteed live price or a formal quote.

Before booking, readers should always confirm the final price, inclusions, exclusions, fees, cancellation terms and booking conditions directly with the provider.


How We Compare Options

When comparing tickets, hotels, resorts, villas, transport options or attractions, we may consider:

  • Overall value

  • Location

  • Convenience for families

  • What is included

  • Likely extra costs

  • Flexibility

  • Booking conditions

  • Suitability for first-time visitors

  • Suitability for different budgets

  • Relevance for UK travellers

Our comparisons are designed to help readers understand their options. They should not be treated as personal travel advice, financial advice, legal advice or a guarantee that a particular option is suitable for every family.


Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

Some pages on Orlando Holiday Planner include affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.

We aim to make affiliate links and commercial relationships clear to readers. Where a page contains affiliate links, we may include a disclosure near the relevant content, link or button.

Affiliate income helps support the running of this website. However, our editorial aim is to provide useful, practical and transparent information for UK families planning Orlando holidays.

We do not accept payment to publish fake reviews or to present paid-for claims as independent editorial opinion.


Reviews, Recommendations and Opinions

Where we recommend or compare travel products, attractions, hotels, ticket options or services, our views are based on the information available to us at the time of review.

Our recommendations may consider official information, published prices, provider terms, location, convenience, family suitability and overall value.

We do not guarantee that every reader will have the same experience. Visitor experience can vary depending on travel dates, crowd levels, weather, availability, personal preferences, provider changes and individual circumstances.


Accuracy and Updates

We aim to regularly review and update our guides so they remain useful and accurate.

Each guide should include a “last reviewed” or “last updated” date where appropriate. This shows when the information was most recently checked.

However, Orlando travel information can change quickly. Theme parks, hotels, airlines, ticket providers, transport companies and attraction operators may change prices, policies, opening dates, inclusions, terms or availability at any time.

Readers should always confirm important details directly with the official provider before booking or travelling.


Our Editorial Approach

Our content is written to be clear, practical and useful for UK families.

We aim to:

  • Explain Orlando planning in plain English

  • Highlight important costs and booking considerations

  • Make comparisons easy to understand

  • Separate factual information from opinion

  • Avoid misleading claims

  • Make commercial relationships clear

  • Explain when prices, policies or availability may change

  • Help readers make more informed decisions

We do not aim to replace official provider information. Instead, we help readers understand and compare the information that matters when planning an Orlando holiday.


Corrections and Feedback

We aim to keep Orlando Holiday Planner accurate, transparent and helpful.

If you spot something that appears outdated, unclear or incorrect, please contact us so we can review it.

We welcome feedback from readers, especially where prices, policies, booking conditions, attraction details or visitor experiences have changed.
