How we picked these seven

  • Public reputation: star rating weighted by how many people left it50 pts
  • Recognition from independent guides and awards, 2024 to 202630 pts
  • Track record in Orlando, in years20 pts

Scored but outside the seven this edition: Sorekara (66), Ômo by Jônt (63), Kaya (61).

Nobody paid to appear here or to move up. This is the launch edition, so anonymous visits and calls, health-inspection records and owner responses are not part of these scores yet; when we add them, the page will say so and the date will change. Read the full method.
