When to go to Orlando
Orlando is warm all year, with hot, humid summers and a daily thunderstorm season from June to September, which is also hurricane season. March to May and October to November are the most comfortable and avoid the heaviest crowds, apart from spring break and holiday weeks. Christmas and New Year, Easter and the summer school holidays are the busiest periods at the parks.

Tips for Orlando
- Theme park tickets are cheaper and often required in advance; buy them online and check each park's app for ride queues and show times.
- Arrive at opening time: queues are shortest in the first hours, and a full park day easily takes 8 to 12 hours.
- Disney World and Universal are separate resorts with separate tickets, and the parks are far apart; give each its own day rather than combining two in one day.
- Orlando is spread out and built around cars; plan on a rental car, rideshare or resort shuttles rather than walking between sights.
- Wear sun protection and comfortable shoes, carry water, and expect a short afternoon thunderstorm in summer.
