The Best Time To Visit?

This is a common question to consider before visiting a theme park. At weekends, school holidays and US national holidays they can be swamped, which of course means long lines and less fun for your time and money.

Although the summer months are the most hot and humid, they can still be really busy because kids are off school and it’s a popular family vacation time for families in Europe. June, July and August are HOT with thundery showers almost daily! Check the Weather in Orlando page for more detailed information.
