When you sit down to plan out your next vacation one of the locations on the top of your list should be Orlando, Florida. Orlando is one of the most hospitable and enjoyable cities in the U.S. The temperature averages between 60 and 80 degrees from January to April. Since those months are typically a great deal cooler in the northern states this makes it an ideal time to visit.
September is a great month to visit as it’s Magical Dining month, where many of the top restaurants throughout the area offer 3 course dining for $33. The spring and summer months are also ideal to visit if you enjoy the beaches and a warmer climate. Overall Orlando is a great place to visit year round since there is something for everyone, at any time of the year.
January through April are typically the cooler months and you can enjoy theme parks, nightlife, and shopping at locations like:
The Disney Parks
Walt Disney World and Universal Studios have a lot to offer with areas for all ages, rides, shows, and various restaurants and activities for the whole family. You can arrange a private tour guide to make your day at the parks even smoother.
