The largest Disney park by area, a zoo and theme park. Look for the Expedition Everest mountain and big grassy savannas full of animals.
3 of our routes pass it. Florida

Orlando to Key West: sit on the right, on the climb, 8 min after takeoff.
Which side, by route
| Route | Side | When |
|---|---|---|
| Orlando to Cancun | Right (the left side is better for the whole flight) | on the climb, 7 min after takeoff |
| Orlando to Sarasota | Right | 7 min after takeoff |
| Orlando to Key West | Right | on the climb, 8 min after takeoff |
From the real paths of every nonstop on these routes in the last 10 days, at the usual time of day. Where the best seat for the whole flight is on the other side, you'd trade this sight for more elsewhere.
