Overview

Orlando is the global capital of themed entertainment — Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and surrounding attractions draw over 75 million visitors per year. The city has also evolved with a thriving food scene and a growing downtown arts district.

Orlando may be the single best city in North America for hotel points redemptions. The Waldorf Astoria Orlando, Conrad Orlando, and Hyatt's Andaz Orlando at Universal are standout options across all major programs.

January through April is the sweet spot — after holiday crowds dissipate, before summer humidity peaks, with theme park wait times at their most manageable.

Cash vs Points

Hotels in Orlando range from $46 to $836 per night. Points redemptions offer 2.39+ cents per point value.
