£159 Cheap Flights to Lake Buena Vista

As a holiday destination, Florida has a lot to offer. With its year-round balmy climate and world-class beaches, it’s incredibly popular amongst travellers seeking sun, sea and sand. Head to the city of Lake Buena Vista, which is situated just outside Orlando, and you’ll also be able to enjoy the delights of the magical Walt Disney World Resort.

Fly to Orlando International Airport (MCO)

Lake Buena Vista doesn’t have its own airport, which means the most straightforward way to reach the city is to fly into Orlando International (MCO), located southwest of the centre of Orlando. From here you can drive or take a taxi or airport shuttle to Lake Buena Vista in just 30 minutes. It's possible to travel into the city by public bus, too; however, this tends to be a much longer journey.

Booking Flights to Orlando

The international airport at Orlando is the second busiest in the whole of Florida. Airlines serving the airport include Air Canada, Aer Lingus, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. Since a lot of flights to and from Orlando operate within the United States, you may have to book a connecting flight via another American airport (you can do this easily using the Expedia search tool).

In the peak summer months, Orlando International can get busy. For this reason, it can be a good idea to arrive at least two hours before your flight departs.

Getting Around Lake Buena Vista

If you are staying in Lake Buena Vista to visit the Walt Disney World Resort®, then you may want to look into hiring a car (you can do this when you arrive at Orlando Airport). The Disney complex covers an area of 43 square miles, so driving between the various attractions could be your quickest and most convenient option, especially if you have booked into off-site accommodation. Just be aware that parking can be tricky at busy times of the day – set off early if you want to avoid the rush.

For travellers who don’t hire a car, there are a few alternative options for getting around. Many hotels offer a free shuttle service to the Disney complex and, once inside the resort area, you can use the monorail, bus and boat systems to travel between attractions.

Activities and Attractions in Lake Buena Vista

The key draw for holidaymakers visiting Lake Buena Vista is Walt Disney World Resort®. Here, you can rub shoulders with your favourite Disney characters at the Magic Kingdom, travel the globe at Epcot’s World Showcase, and snap photos of the wildlife at the Animal Kingdom. Other attractions include golf courses, water parks, and a range of restaurants and shops.

If you have a car, you’ll also find it simple to get into the centre of Orlando for day trips. Here you can channel your artistic side at the Orlando Museum of Art, wander through the tranquil Harry P. Leu Gardens and – if you’re seeking more theme park fun – pay a visit to Universal Orlando Resort, home of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
