Okay, so you’re in the middle of planning a trip to Disney World — and yes, it can be A LOT.
So you’ve figured out your budget. You might have already booked your hotel and decided on what theme park tickets you’ll need for your trip. Maybe you’re planning what you want to wear. But HOW are you getting to Disney World? Will you drive? Will you take a train? Will you fly? For so many, flying is the best option, and we just wanted to let you know that there’s now a NEW nonstop flight available to Orlando!
Need help with all that Disney World planning stuff? Let our friends at Small World Travel do all the planning for you!
According to WBTV, budget carrier Avelo Airlines has added new nonstop flights to several cities from Concord, North Carolina. That includes a flight to Orlando, more specifically Orlando/Lakeland, FL (LAL) on Thursdays and Sundays.
Granted, the Lakeland airport might not be as convenient as Orlando International Airport, but it could save you money. You’ll also need to figure out how to get from the airport to Disney World. You have several options, including renting a car, taking a train to Kissimmee, FL (you’d still need to travel from there to Disney World), or using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft.

Uber
This new flight by Avelo, though, is still an option to consider if it could save you some money!
