september?

[georgemichael]

i usually visit orlando in january or february and i find that i hardly ever have to queue for the rides. we are thinking of visiting maybe september/october next year,what are the parks like that time of the year for queues,also what temperatures would we expect that time of year?

[blott]

The temperatures are

September 90/32 73/22 5.63 rainfall (inches)

October 84/29 64/18 2.83

Parks are less busy in September as there's half term in October which is normally quite popular but neither months are as busy as Easter, summer, Thanksgiving or Christmas/New Year.

Hi and welcome to the forums, you should find that September is also very quiet at the parks mainly as children have all returned to school, it will be much warmer in September and October than January /February although rainfall, especially in Sept, will be higher. October will be busier but not packed out as most weeks in October are a school break for somewhere in the UK, but it would be nowhere near as busy as July/August/Easter just busier than you are used to.

There is never a bad time to go but September/October would be one of the best.

when in october is half term?

[huckleberry house]

The first two weeks are used by Scottish schools and the second two by schools in England but it still wont be that busy, just busier.

We love September and May and tend to take the first 3xweeks in each every year.
Only 4xdays to go now till our next trip.

I have always found October quite busy at the parks. If you have to wait longer than 30 minutes to get on the rides, I call that busy. I reckon September would be better and quieter.

[heathercobbett]

Yes,definitely,if you have the choice go for September. At some point the schools are going to have 2 weeks off in October,which will make it even busier. I believe Scottish children already do have a fortnight

Georgemichael, why don't you go in-between? Say from 20th September for 3 weeks? That way, you'll have great weather and mild crowds, finishing your holiday before the English school breaks begin.

We went in September last year and it was great

Weather was fine and no waiting for the rides anywhere

Liked it so much we booked for the same time again and are off 16th Sept!!!
