In Orlando I only spent time going to amusement park for Disney and Universal. I spent almost no time in the city, so I cannot say I’ve been to Orlando. But I can say that it is worthy the different parks.

i felt safe but a bit expensive. i really enjoyed with universal studios. i stayed at hilton orlando lake buena vista. the overall experience with the hotel was good. i would give 7/10. the main problem was to find anything to eat at night (all shops were closed)

Solo travel

I felt safe in Orlando, taking basic precautions like not walking alone late at night and sharing my location with my mom in Brazil. I often used Disney and Universal resort buses, which felt very safe and convenient. My favorite park was Epcot, with Guardians of the Galaxy as my top ride. Magic Kingdom is beautiful and the castle made me emotional, but I found it a bit too child‑oriented. Epcot’s food is amazing, especially at the World Showcase. I stayed in a comfortable place with easy park access and used ride‑share apps for transport — fast and convenient.

It was fun. Have to plan it very well as there are things you could budget and still enjoy everything they have to offer. Went to Disney world. Even ate at their restaurants and with everyone we paid roughly 2k all together. We planned when to even go for the rides and the events they had. Also book a airbnb might be better as I’ve heard the hotels in Disney aren’t that great. We had a pool in our house that we rented which was amazing and even a cinema room which we enjoyed at least once. We were only there for one week 😂. It was safe and we didn’t really have any problems.

Orlando was great! We stayed in an gated community house that felt super safe. We did some exploring. The food in this area we delicious anywhere we went. The fruit was super sweet. We were there for a training camp, and we usually return at least once a year.

As long as you stay in populated tourist areas it's safe. Local areas can be more dangerous depending on the area and how your traveling. Public bus transportation is not the best way to travel. The SunRail is clean and nice to travel on from Orlando to Miami.

Depending on the town because when I think of Orlando i think of all suburban & city areas as an overall metropolitan area. Some places are a 3/10, some are an 8/10. It just depends on which area. Downtown however is just a cesspool!

Depending on the area you go to it’s very unsafe stay away from Pine Hills and Kissimmee it’s extremely dangerous and girls have disappeared. Downtown Orlando is dangerous at night and has many drug addicts and homeless who can and will randomly assault you. Otherwise, the nightlife, the vibes and the people are wonderful and we have many theme parks and things to do.

Orlando is safe in more tourist concentrated locations, primarily surrounding Disney and Universal. There are also wonderful neighborhoods with amazing food and activities such as Winter Park, Dr. Philips, Windermere, Sanford, and even East Orlando close to the University of Central Florida.

I’m semi retired at 55 and want to see the world. I leave the country 4-6 months at a time so explore. The last two years I’ve lived in Italy, France, England and recently Spain. I like to stay months at a time in one place to sen the culture and get to know the areas well. I’m not sure who has the availability to do this but my home is open these time to guests. I’m based in Orlando, close to all you would want to experience in Orlando and the local beaches. Anyone who what’s information on how to travel like do or would be interested in traveling along with me, reach out. Anyone intested in swaps of homes or short term rental, let me know.
