Tours & Experiences in Orlando

Orlando isn’t only about theme parks, although they’re certainly hard to ignore. Spend the day at Walt Disney World or Universal, visit Kennedy Space Center, then return to the city for dinner, drinks and a little grown-up fun once the rollercoasters are done.


Gay friendly hotels in Orlando

Orlando is unusual because the best hotel location depends less on the gay nightlife and more on what you’re actually visiting for. Stay around the major theme park resorts if Disney or Universal is the priority, or choose Downtown Orlando for a more local city experience and easier access to bars and restaurants. LGBTQ+ nightlife is relatively spread out, so expect to use a car or rideshare. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels cover resort stays, great-value options and more luxurious escapes for when the theme parks have finally defeated you.
