When to Go Orlando

January to February and September to early November are the best times—smaller crowds, temperatures around 15°C–25°C (60°F–77°F), and manageable. March to April gets slammed with spring break and Easter—parks packed, prices up. Summer (June-August) temperatures range from 30°C to 35°C (85°F–95°F), with afternoon thunderstorms that drench everything for 20 minutes before dissipating. Lines stay long, and heat exhausts kids fast. December through New Year's is chaos—holiday decorations look great, but crowds reach their maximum, and hotels triple their rates. Hurricane season runs from June through November—usually just means afternoon rain, but check forecasts.

Getting There

Orlando International Airport handles flights from everywhere—domestic routes cover the whole US, international flights come from the UK, Brazil, Canada, and others. Budget airlines compete fiercely here, as tourist traffic remains constant. Book two to three months ahead for decent prices. Flying Tuesday or Wednesday typically beats weekend rates. Some families fly into Tampa or Sanford airports nearby for cheaper fares, then drive over.

Visa Info

US citizens obviously don't need anything. Visa Waiver Program countries get 90 days with ESTA. Others need standard US tourist visas based on their passports.

Why Orlando?

Stop watching ride videos—book your flight to Orlando and get to where theme parks never stop, kids lose their minds over characters, and adults admit they're having fun too.
