Orlando vacations are vacations that last a lifetime. There's nothing like this city full of exciting, thrill-packed theme park adventures and if you want a little down time, there are many hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. Walt Disney World® Resort boasts four theme parks, limitless restaurants, nightclubs and tens of thousands of hotel rooms (not to mention a little magic and enchantment). At Universal Orlando® Resort you'll find two amazing theme parks with rides and attractions that challenge all of your senses. This is the perfect vacation for everyone in the family.

Weather and Geography

Orlando is located in central Florida and although the weather is typically sunny and warm, it's not out of the ordinary for a rain shower to occur in the afternoon or evening. The storms don't last too long and there's plenty to do indoors so if they do occur, it won't ruin your vacation. Average summertime highs are usually around 90 degrees and winter high temperatures average about 70 - 80 degrees.
