Most of us think of Mickey Mouse and roller coasters when we think of Orlando. That is, of course, if your primary experience in this vast, diverse city has been theme parks and parades.
However, there is so much more to Orlando, then you may realize. Orlando is a premium location for the luxury lifestyle, and we’re excited to name a few ways that you can live out those experiences in Orlando.
We’ve compiled an exhaustive list of excellent options for you to live out a VIP Orlando vacation.
Read our guide below to get a better picture of the wonderful experiences that await you:

EXTRAVAGANT EXPERIENCES
Orlando Magic – Go VIP Orlando!
NBA’s Orlando Magic is Orlando’s pro basketball team. There’s few things as exciting as sitting courtside to an exciting game – and that’s exactly what you’ll be able to do with the Orlando Magic VIP package.
With the Go VIP Orlando package, ticketholders will receive exclusive benefits including private box seats, a postgame photo – and get this, it’ll be center court!
VIP ticketholders will also receive a private entrance, complimentary food and drink, and a private tour of the Amway center!
Plus more! Convinced yet? We sure are!
Disney World VIP Tour
There’s nothing like being a VIP at Disney World. Disney guests can reserve custom private tours as a VIP, where they and their group of 10 total guests will be led by a tour guide through the parks.
The VIP tour guide assists you all day long with reservations, day-planning, and customizations tailored to your preferences.
Line-skipping privileges and a private, exclusive, backstage tour are also typically included in this ultra-special reservation.
So, what are you waiting for? You deserve to feel like a VIP!
Universal Studios VIP Tour
Universal Orlando also offers a VIP Tour Experience, and it’s well-worth the (high) expense in our opinions.
Universal also offers a tour guide with their VIP package. Booking the VIP Experience for you and your group guarantees your experience will be elevated. Line-skipping privileges will be awarded for all rides, which is awesome! Can you think of a better dream in a theme park on a hot day in Florida? We sure can’t.
No waiting in line for hours to ride the new Harry Potter ride for you!
As a Universal VIP you’ll also be shown behind-the-scenes special knowledge, receive complimentary meals, reserved seating at designated shows, and even discounts in select shops! Unlike Disney World, Universal offers a non-private, group VIP tour experience that is significantly cheaper too! Check out our full write-up about that here.
