Planning an Orlando Vacation

Best Time to Go
Any time is a good time to visit Orlando. Because the weather is warm year-round, Orlando is an ideal travel destination. There are a few things to consider when planning your trip to Orlando. If you're taking the kids, you'll more than likely have to visit during the sweltering summer months, along with thousands of other school's-out families. It may benefit you and your family to visit a tad earlier, when the weather is perfect and the crowds are thinner. Remember, though, Orlando prices are often higher during the winter months and about 40 percent less from June through November

Average Weather
Average yearly temperature is a hair over 72 degrees. Winter temps average in the 40s and 50s at night with highs in the 60s and even the 70s during the days. Summer days can sizzle with highs in the 90s and lows in the mid to upper 70s. Thunderstorms are common on summer afternoons, contributing to the area's 50-60 inches of rainfall per year. Remember to keep an umbrella in your car.

In-Season Costs
As the temperature rises, so do the prices. They go up at holiday time, too. A room with a queen bed in a moderately priced International Drive chain hotel costs $79 in November and $199 at Christmas. The best price you'll get in the summer is $109 for two double beds.
