"Bridget’s guides helped us coordinate a trip to several of the Universal parks (Islands of Adventure and Hollywood Studios), plus a visit to Epcot. She had a ton of helpful insights and it ended up being an amazing time! I’m super thankful for the time and energy Bridget’s put into sharing her knowledge of the parks and traveling to Orlando! I feel like we were able to do everything we wanted in the time we had and ended up spending less than I expected.
Here are a few highlights:
#1 Hotel - We wanted to prioritize time in parks, so we needed a hotel that was both affordable and convenient. One of the hotels Bridget recommended checked all the boxes: clean rooms, free bus service to the park entrance, and quick breakfast options. Best of all, the hotel granted us early park access, allowing us to enter right when the parks opened and get to rides before the crowds arrived.
#2 Parks - Going into the trip with a few helpful apps and a simple game plan made all the difference. This was my first time at some of these parks - they’re pretty big so trying to see everything, especially when crowds pick up, can be tough. Bridget recommended a few apps and online resources that helped us focus on enjoying the experience. Thanks to her suggestions, we started with a clear plan of what we wanted to do, the park apps made it easy to check ride wait times, and avoid delays. She also recommended an app that made splitting expenses super easy, definitely worth a look if you’re going with a group!"
"I had the best Orlando vacation ever last May, and a huge part of that was thanks to the incredible guides from Optimistically Orlando that I used for my trip to Universal and Epcot. This wasn’t my first time to Orlando—I'd been several times before—but this trip was absolutely the easiest and most enjoyable yet. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
Bridget, who has expertise in theme park planning, created guides that helped me with my trip. She provided me with recommendations for when certain parts of the parks were open exclusively to specific groups—like early entry for hotel guests or after-hours events.
Bridget’s recommendations also helped me pick the perfect hotel based on a few key things: bus access to the parks and the cleanliness of the accommodations. The hotel ended up being a great choice—super convenient and comfortable."
