International Guests Can't Wait to Visit Orlando
The U.S. has officially reopened to travelers from around the world. Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort are ready to show them a good time!
British travelers arrive in Orlando, Florida for the first time in 19 months.
A Virgin Atlantic flight from the United Kingdom touched down in Orlando, Florida on Monday – the first time in 19 months. The flight, was completely sold out, according to Virgin.
This marks another milestone in economic recovery from the pandemic and one more way Orlando is returning to normal.
Maybe our International exchange hosts will return to Epcot, it’s not the same without them.
This is going to be very good news for Orlando’s theme parks. I am seeing pent-up demand from European travelers and I think this is contributing to Disney and Universal’s hotels being 90% sold out this holiday season.
International travelers tend to stay longer too. For example, the average Canadian resident spends about 10 days in Orlando and the average UK visitor will spend 2 weeks here, or a “fortnight” as they like to say. I love that term!
So much has been added to the theme parks in the past 19 months! There are also some safety protocols in place. If you have questions about traveling to Orlando from abroad, please feel free to comment below or contact me directly.
