Everything you need to know about Orlando

Orlando is the theme-park capital of the world โ€” home to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and its new Epic Universe park, SeaWorld, and the buzzing entertainment strip of International Drive. Beyond the rides it's a year-round sunshine city with celebrated dining in Dr. Phillips, a walkable downtown around Lake Eola, and easy day trips to Kennedy Space Center and Florida's Gulf beaches. Orlando is easy for Canadians: English is spoken everywhere, it's on Eastern Time like Toronto, and direct flights land in under three and a half hours.

Essential info for Canadian travellers

  • Passport & entry: Canadian citizens travelling to the US by air need only a valid passport โ€” no visa or ESTA is required.

  • Currency: The US Dollar (USD) is used everywhere. Cards are widely accepted; keep small bills for tips, parking, and rideshares.

  • Power & plugs: The US uses 120V/60Hz with Type A/B plugs โ€” the same as Canada, so your devices work without an adapter.

  • Time zone: Orlando runs on Eastern Time (ET) โ€” the same time zone as Toronto and Montreal year-round.

  • Language & getting around: English is spoken everywhere and Spanish is widely used. A rental car is the easiest way to move between parks, or use rideshares and hotel shuttles.

Best time to visit Orlando
