Journiac Travel & Tours will make sure to ask all the right questions to figure out what’s right for your travel group!

Florida Theme Park Travel Planning Services

Additionally, Journiac Travel & Tours can help plan travel to other Orlando and Florida destinations, such as:

  • touring the parks at Universal Orlando Resort;
  • checking out the shops, restaurants, activities, and entertainment at Universal CityWalk;
  • visiting the Legoland Florida and/or Peppa Pig Florida theme parks;
  • spending a day or two at a water park (Walt Disney World has two, Universal Orlando Resort has one, and Legoland has one);
  • shopping at Orlando’s outlet stores, including discount Disney souvenir shops;
  • visiting the Kennedy Space Center and other attractions at Cape Canaveral;
  • spending time at a beach (Vero Beach, Cocoa Beach, Clearwater Beach, and Daytona Beach all instantly come to mind!);
  • participating in animal-friendly experiences such as seeing alligators or spotting manatees;
  • going on a wine tasting tour in the area;
  • watching live sports like the NBA’s Orlando Magic, the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or the MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays;
  • catching an event at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World;
  • playing a round of golf or mini putt at a Walt Disney World course.

Clearly, you can see why Orlando is known as the Theme Park Capital of the World! Still, it would be easy to fill an entire vacation week without ever even setting foot inside a theme park!

Universal Orlando Resort Travel Planning Services

While theme park travel planning services to the Orlando area Universal parks aren’t as comprehensive as those offered for the Disney parks, they are still quite extensive, with many (if not most) of the above services available. Not everything needs to be planned in advance as much with Universal theme parks, which explains the difference in service level offerings.

However, since the opening of Epic Universe in 2025, one thing has become abundantly clear. For most people, Universal Orlando Resort has become a vacation destination in its own right, with enough to do to fill an entire vacation week. It’s more important than ever to choose the right days to visit each park, and the right time of year to visit overall. You may not have to do all of the extensive planning that is required at Walt Disney World, but you can no longer get away with just showing up and hoping for the best — not at the prices the theme parks charge, anyway!

California Theme Park Travel Planning Services

The main California theme parks are:

  • Disneyland Resort
  • Universal Studios Hollywood

Travel planning services offered for the California theme parks are on par with those offered for Universal Resort Orlando. Likewise, advance planning isn’t quite as extensive, but still very necessary.

A trip to California comes with different opportunities for exploration as well:

  • taking a studio tour at Warner Bros. or Sony Pictures;
  • walking down Hollywood Boulevard;
  • shopping on Rodeo drive;
  • relaxing at Laguna Beach or Venice Beach;
  • enjoying the atmosphere at Santa Monica Pier;
  • seeing the view from the Hollywood sign;
  • taking a boat out to Catalina Island;
  • seeing where the stars live in Beverly Hills and Malibu;
  • day hiking at Joshua Tree National Park;
  • touring Legoland California Resort;
  • watching live sports — Los Angeles is home to two MLB teams, two NBA teams, two NHL teams, two NFL teams, two MLS teams, and more!

Worldwide Theme Park Travel Planning Services

Other theme parks worldwide include:

  • Tokyo Disney Resort
  • Disneyland Paris
  • Hong Kong Disneyland
  • Shanghai Disney Resort
  • Universal Studios Japan
  • Universal Studios Singapore
  • Universal Beijing Resort
  • Universal United Kingdom Resort (coming in 2031)

Obviously, travel opportunities will differ depending on your destination! Journiac Travel & Tours has plenty of experience planning trips to Europe and Asia. Travellers can rest assured that all their needs will be met, no matter where in the world they want to go!
