    What an informative comment for if your state and federal governments ever stop being dipshits. No offense meant to you personally obviously, I’m assuming you didn’t vote for Alligator Alcatraz.

    I would actually like to visit at some point. Your January/February weather is basically my summer weather sans heatwave, it’d be a perfect vacation in the middle of the freezing winter. I’ve got a small kid and I’d wager in a few years, they’re gonna want to see all their favourite Disney characters. It’s almost unavoidable. Plus school starts at age 7 here so if I come a year before that, it’s only kindergarten to miss a week of. Not a problem.

    we locals know to buy the cheaper passes with the blackout dates.

    What’s that? Where do I see those? Website doesn’t seem to be showing me those, it’s only X day passes you can use within X*2 days or something.

    The best times to go are when the kids are in school, of course.

    I assume Monday thru Thursday are the best days to be there then? Or are the weekends during schooltime OK too?

    Also, where would you suggest staying? In the hotels on the resort itself, or outside? Any nice quality/price ratio hotels, or should I just sell my soul to the AirBnB devil?

      I’m talking about Annual Passes, not short term passes.

      During high seasons, it will definitely be better during the week than the weekends, but it will be still be extremely busy.

      There are a LOT of houses for rent in Orlando. These days, a lot of them book through AirBnB, but a lot use real estate property managers for bookings. Do some Googling, and you should find some nice houses, often with your own pool, in the Kissimmee area for really reasonable rates. It’s especially reasonable if you go with a bunch of people, and split a 4 or 5 bedroom.

        Ah that makes sense. Yeah I won’t ever get the annual pass. Wanted to move to the US when it was good for software engineers, but now it seems good for nobody except millionaires. Hope you’re doing ok there, I’m gonna stay in my cozy corner of the world until Putin decides to invade
