What just changed in Orlando

Short, practical updates on the things that affect real trips — booking rules, ticket releases, transport and seasonal changes.

  1. Disney World

    Disney adds new Lightning Lane booking windows

    Disney adds new Lightning Lane booking windows

    Walt Disney World has changed when you can book Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections, with on-site guests now able to book earlier than off-site guests. Popular attractions at Magic Kingdom sell out within the first hour on busy days.

    What to do

    Set an alarm for 7am Eastern on your booking day and grab the headliners first — you can always adjust the rest later in the day.

  2. Universal

    Epic Universe ticket dates released further ahead

    Epic Universe ticket dates released further ahead

    Universal Orlando has opened up more Epic Universe dated ticket inventory, including multi-park options that add Epic Universe to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida.

    What to do

    If your dates are fixed, book the dated Epic Universe ticket early — the cheapest dates disappear first, especially in school holidays.

  3. Transport & Flights

    Brightline Orlando to Miami timetable update

    Brightline has adjusted its Orlando International Airport to Miami timetable, adding extra departures on Fridays and Sundays and tweaking journey times.

    What to do

    Check your train time again a week before travel, and book Smart fares in advance — walk-up prices are usually much higher.
