Hollywood Studios focuses on the world of entertainment and takes guests on a tour of studios, stages and live shows. Children can be the star of their own show, enter the American Idol Experience or relive the glamorous days of Hollywood.

Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are the perfect choice for water fun. The parks features water slides, wading pools, boat rides, surf pools and a shark pool.

Where to stay

For cheap Disney vacations, consider staying outside the park in one of the many local hotels that offer free shuttle services to the parks.

Hotels feature character breakfasts, while some villas are located inside Animal Kingdom.

10 days. Cost per day is less than half of a single entrance ticket to an individual theme park. Park Hopper tickets allow the most flexibility.

Water Park Fun tickets are designed for families wanting to spend most of their time in one of the two water parks in the Disney World resort.
