MIAMI

Beaches, hotels, shopping and a side of Florida that works beautifully for many travel styles

Miami continua forte porque entrega uma combinação muito eficiente de mar, cidade, lifestyle, gastronomia, compras e logística internacional. É uma viagem que pode ser mais leve, mais urbana ou mais premium, dependendo de como você monta.

Great for couples, groups and trips combined with cruises or the Caribbean.
It works very well as the first leg before heading to Orlando.
It can be “beach + city” or “beach + hotel + shopping” without too much effort.

Destination read

Miami combines beach time, image, hotels and ease of consumption in a way few destinations do.

How it fits the itinerary

It works very well before Orlando or as the main trip when you want something lighter, more urban and more sun-driven.

Beach and hotels

Miami’s appeal is not just the sand, but the full package: ocean, good hotels, dining and atmosphere.

Perfil ideal

Couples, groups and travelers who want a Florida trip that is less park-dependent and more lifestyle-driven.

Who Miami tends to work best for

For travelers who want a sunnier, more cosmopolitan Florida that is less centered on parks. It also works extremely well on trips with good hotels, good dining, some shopping and more relaxed days.

ORLANDO

The natural base for parks, family travel and trips that need efficiency

Orlando remains central because it solves family-trip logistics with a lot of practicality. Parques, hotéis, outlets, deslocamentos mais simples e uma enorme variedade de combinações fazem a cidade continuar very strong.

Ideal for trips with kids and multigenerational groups.
It also works well for couples who want to focus on Disney and Universal.
It is less of a “city to live” and more of a very practical base to enjoy.

Best for

Families, groups and trips where the main logic is parks, practicality and smooth operation.

What changes everything

Choosing the right parks is usually more important than trying to do everything too fast.

PARKS 2026

Disney, Universal, SeaWorld and Busch Gardens with better decision-making

In 2026, Orlando remains extremely strong — but planning it more intelligently really matters. The difference between Disney, Universal and other parks changes a lot depending on profile, age group, time available and budget.

Classic Disney

For many travelers, this is where the trip takes on that more dreamlike and symbolic Orlando feel.

Hollywood Studios

Still highly relevant for travelers who enjoy experiences tied to major franchises and the Star Wars universe.

Universal

Depending on the group, Universal can even take priority over part of Disney, especially on shorter trips.

Disney desde US$ 109/dia

Published reference for the 4-Park Magic Ticket in part of summer 2026, with totals starting around US$436 on selected dates.

Universal desde US$ 139

1 day, 1 park. Park-to-Park tickets tend to appear around US$220 as an approximate starting point, depending on date and product.

SeaWorld Orlando desde US$ 79.99

Recent official simple-ticket offer starting at US$79.99, with combos and dining options potentially increasing the final amount.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay desde US$ 117.99

Recent official simple-ticket offer starting at US$117.99, alongside 2-park and 3-park combo options.

What is already worth watching for 2026

Among the announcements and signals already published, Orlando enters the year with new seasonal activations, a water-park benefit for Disney hotel guests during a specific window, and important changes in iconic attractions.

My practical read

If the trip is short, the best design does not come from trying to “do everything.” It usually comes from choosing the parks that best match your group and the overall energy of the trip.

It helps connect Miami and Orlando with less friction and less time lost at airports.

Why it works

It works especially well on trips split between beach/city time and parks.

BRIGHTLINE

The high-speed train between Miami and Orlando can change the way your trip is designed

For many travelers, it makes a lot of sense to start in Miami and then continue to Orlando without driving the full route or depending on an internal flight. This is one of the best practical updates in Florida for travelers who want to combine both poles.

FLORIDA IN 2026

What is moving the destination right now

Florida enters 2026 with some very clear vectors: Miami stronger because of the World Cup, Orlando with new activations and seasonal benefits, and other regions trying to gain more space on the international radar.

Miami and the World Cup

Miami becomes even more relevant between June and July with the World Cup, which should affect hotels, demand and itinerary combinations.

Orlando remains very strong

Parks, summer travel, family-focused activations and Disney hotel guest benefits keep Orlando at a very high level for international travelers as well.

Other rising areas

St. Pete-Clearwater and Kissimmee continue to appear more often in luxury, family travel and complementary Florida itineraries.

SOFT CONVERSION

Ready to move your trip from idea to planning?

Once you understand whether your Florida fits better with Miami, Orlando or a combination of both, it is worth starting to compare prices, hotels and flights — or asking for help designing the itinerary more intelligently.

Park prices change by date, promotions and ticket combinations. Use the numbers above as a starting reference, not as a fixed price.
