The first Orlando sightseeing pass I recommend is the Orlando Explorer Pass. This option is perfect if you are one of those who like to have total freedom when travelling. Unlike other tourist passes, the Orlando Explorer Pass does not limit you with pre-set itineraries, but with this option you can choose the number of attractions you want to visit, being the minimum of two and the maximum of 20.

The main advantage if you book Orlando Explorer Pass is that you will be able to create your own itinerary. Also, one of the things I like the most is that you can download the tickets to the attractions on your mobile phone, which will save you long waits in queues.

I would also like to mention that you will have a digital guide where you can find tips and tourist information that will be of great help to you. Finally, once you activate your pass, you will have 60 days to use it. Among the attractions included in the pass are:

  • The Wheel, at ICON Orlando, from where you can enjoy the best views of the city, as it is the first and highest observation wheel on the East Coast of the United States. A pleasant 20-minute ride will give you the opportunity to take the best photos of your trip.
  • Madame Tussauds Orlando, the wax museum where you'll have the chance to come face to face with big stars from all walks of life, including sports stars, actors and famous singers.
  • WonderWorks, one of the best things to do with kids in Orlando, with its 4D Extreme Motion attraction.
  • Go Orlando, where you can enjoy an adrenaline rush with roller coasters, bumper cars, go-karts... Everything you need for a day of fun! Without a doubt, this is one of the best things to do in Orlando in June.

Another of Orlando's tourist passes is this discount card for restaurants and attractions. It gives you a 10-15% discount at over 140 establishments in the city. The card is for up to 4 people, which makes it perfect for you whether you are travelling alone, as a couple or with your family.

An important fact is that the discount is a percentage, so the more you spend, the more you save. Plus, you can activate it immediately and use it whenever you want in the included establishments with your mobile phone.

Given the large number of attractions included, it is ideal whether you are travelling to Orlando in December or visiting Orlando in July, as it has plans for all times of the year. Other features I like best about this discount card are:

  • It includes interactive maps to guide you through your trip.
  • The 'Near me' search function allows you to find establishments included in the card that are close to where you are. This will definitely save you a lot of planning time, which is ideal if you're planning a quick visit, such as a trip to see Orlando in 3 days.

Interesting details

  • Price: the discount card is around 24 euros for both adults and children.
  • Duration: from the moment you activate it, you will have 180 days to use it.
  • Advantages of this option: it includes interactive maps and the option to search for the attractions closest to you.

For most tourist passes, all you will need to do is provide basic personal details such as your first and last name, country of origin, telephone number and email address. Once you have done this, you will need to purchase your pass online. Once this has been done, you will receive your pass in your email.

In addition, tourist passes to Orlando include free cancellation up to a few days before the trip. This is a great insurance in case, unfortunately, you have to cancel your trip at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.

One of the biggest advantages of the tourist passes is that they allow you, in most cases, to set your own sightseeing itinerary. This way, they will be as long as you want them to be. Of course, there is a time limit on how long you can spend the vouchers once they have been activated with the first attraction.

However, the time limits are very long, so whether you're visiting the city for a couple of days or travelling to Orlando for 7 days or more, you won't have a problem.

This makes the Orlando Explorer Passes ideal for you if you're travelling with children, as you'll find plenty of activities to suit the tastes and needs of the little ones.

Tips for an Orlando Explorer Pass

Here are some tips for your trip to Orlando:

  • My number one travel tip is always the same: organisation. A good itinerary will save you all the time you'd spend improvising. Plan your days from start to finish, including where you'd like to eat and where you'll be close to where you'll be.
  • And for the best organisation, I recommend you take a look at city guides. You can find everything from 10 things to do in Orlando in February to 10 things to see and do in Orlando in spring. This will give you a preview of the best things to do in the city depending on the time of year you're visiting.
  • Of course, since Orlando tourist passes include free cancellation, I advise you to book them as soon as you have secured your trip. This way, you are guaranteed to save a great deal on your visit, as the passes offer great discounts compared to individual attraction tickets.
  • If you've chosen an option with few attractions included, check which ones are the most expensive in the city. That way, you can save more money and won't waste your pass at cheaper establishments.

How much does an Orlando All-Inclusive Pass cost?

There are many variables that influence the price of your Orlando All-Inclusive Pass. Firstly, and most obviously, the price will depend on the pass you choose:

  • The discount card is very inexpensive, costing around 24 euros. However, it only offers a percentage discount on admission tickets.
  • Orlando Explorer Pass includes tickets to the attractions of your choice.
  • Orlando All-Inclusive Pass is the most expensive, but will allow you to enjoy all the activities.

My advice is that if you are going to be in the city for several days, you should get the most complete pass. Even if you initially opt for the cheapest option, you will save money at the end of your trip. This way, you will be able to see the best activities in Orlando for less.

Finally, as for the discount card for restaurants and attractions, it offers the same price for both children and adults. However, Orlando Explorer Pass and Orlando All-Inclusive Pass offer a discount for children from 3 to 12 years old.

It's great that you're asking yourself this question! A common mistake people make when visiting Orlando is not leaving the city. Beyond its extravagant amusement parks, Orlando offers beautiful towns that you shouldn't miss:

  • One of the city's most famous towns is Kissimmee, where the Old Town Street is a popular venue for concerts and classic car parades. You'll also find plenty of souvenir shops to pick up souvenirs of your trip.
  • Close to Kissimmee is Celebration, a township built as a place of residence for Walt Disney Company workers . This place is perfect for you if you are a big movie fan. Walking through its streets you will feel like a character in a typical American movie.

Why is it advisable to buy a tourist pass to Orlando?

There are so many things to see and do in Orlando that I recommend you book an Orlando All-Inclusive Pass to enjoy them all. The most obvious advantage of getting a tourist pass to Orlando (and, really, to any city) is the substantial money saving. Tourist passes always offer cheaper prices when you buy tickets together than if you buy them individually.

This is even more important in the case of cities that are not exactly cheap, as is the case of Orlando. You will probably already be spending a lot of money on transport and accommodation, so this is the best option for sightseeing and saving some money.

On the other hand, tourist passes to Orlando also allow you to have the tickets to the attractions on your mobile phone. This way you don't have to carry around paperwork, which can easily get lost. If you are an absent-minded person, this advantage counts double for you.

If you are considering taking a guided tour of Orlando, I highly recommend it. Thanks to guided tours you will discover the city in a deeper way, as you will be able to learn about its history and monuments. With this option you will learn all kinds of curiosities about Orlando and you will be completely immersed in its culture.

You can find everything from airboat tours in Orlando to walking tours of the city. In case you are not sure which is the best tour for you and your needs, I recommend you take a look at some of the best tours in Orlando.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between the different tourist passes?

    Of the three passes available, each offers a very different service: the Explorer Pass is a 3-day pass that allows you to choose between 3 - 5 different attractions from a total of 15 options and save a bit of money in the process as it also includes the I-RIDE Trolley Pass for those 3 days. The I-RIDE Trolley Pass is more or less a transport pass, which allows you to ride the I-RIDE trolley for 7 to 14 days. Finally, the Orlando Discount Count: Eat and Play is exactly what the name says and is a really juicy discount if you go in a group of up to 4 people.

    It really depends on what you are looking for and the characteristics of your trip: If you are going to be in the city for more than a week, then the I-RIDE pass can be really useful as it includes all transportation during your stay. If you are going in a group of 4 people, the Orlando Discount Count: Eat and Play is your best option for its significant discounts. Finally, the Explorer Pass can save you some money, but only if you intend to visit any of the 15 attractions it offers, so read its information carefully to see if it fits your travel itinerary.

    The experience was quite complete and allowed us to see many places, but it would be ideal if they extended the hours of use of the pass to get even more out of the day.
