Guide to the best times to visit Orlando
Ideal times to avoid the crowds:
Mid-January to early March: A quiet period after the holiday season, with pleasant weather and shorter queues.
September to early November: After the summer vacations, the parks are less crowded and temperatures are still summery.
Periods to avoid if possible:
School vacations: During spring break (March-April), summer (June-August), and the festive season (December), the parks are often very busy.
Long weekends: Holidays such as Memorial Day or Labor Day also attract large crowds.
Climate:
Winter: Pleasant temperatures, generally between 15°C and 22°C. Ideal for exploring the parks without the heat.
Summer: Very hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C. Take breaks in the shade and stay hydrated.
