Who we are
Orlando Compass is an independent Orlando travel guide, written and maintained by the Orlando Compass Editorial Team. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND or any cruise line — and we never present sponsored content as independent advice. Our goal is simple: help you plan a better Orlando trip with clear, honest, practical guidance.
How we research and write
Our guides are built from hands-on knowledge of the parks and the destination, official park and operator information, and careful cross-checking of details that change — ticket structures, ride line-ups, hours and policies. Where something is variable or changes often (Lightning Lane, Express Pass, park reservations, seasonal events), we say so and tell you to confirm the current details before you travel, rather than presenting a moving target as fixed fact.
How we keep guides up to date
Orlando changes constantly — new rides open, pricing shifts, policies are revised. Every page shows a "Last updated" date so you can see how current it is, and we revise guides as things change. Live elements, such as the tours and prices pulled from our travel partners, update automatically from current availability rather than relying on a fixed, dated list.
Independence and how we make money
Orlando Compass is free to read and funded by affiliate partnerships: when you book through some of our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our recommendations — we recommend what we believe is genuinely best for your trip, not what pays the most, and we flag the trade-offs honestly even when a partner is involved. Full details are in our affiliate disclosure.
Corrections and feedback
We work hard to be accurate, but Orlando is a big, fast-moving destination and mistakes happen. If you spot something out of date or wrong, please tell us — we take corrections seriously and update promptly. You can reach us through the contact page. Reader feedback genuinely makes these guides better.
A note on accuracy
Everything here is guidance, not a guarantee. Prices, hours, ride availability, ticket rules and policies are set by the parks and operators and can change at any time — always confirm the current details on the official site before booking or travelling. When in doubt, the official park apps and websites are the final word.
