Why Orlando Theme Parks for Budget Travelers?

Best time: Late August-September for lowest tickets ($109 Disney one-day) or avoid peaks like Christmas ($164/day).[4] From Singapore, fly Singapore Airlines direct to Orlando (MCO) via Changi Airport—book 6+ months early for deals under SGD 1,500 round-trip.
Currency tip: USD 1 ≈ SGD 1.35 (check Homejourney's Bank Rates for real-time conversions, ideal for budgeting your Orlando vacation).
