The Ultimate Orlando Split-Stay: 14 Nights of Magic & Thrills

The Ultimate Orlando Split-Stay: 14 Nights of Magic & Thrills

The Concept: Why choose between the magic of Disney and the thrills of Universal when you can have both? This 14-night “split-stay” is the gold standard for Florida holidays. By starting at Disney and finishing at Universal, you balance the high-energy park hopping of the first week with the luxurious, more compact convenience of Universal in the second.
