Hi

We have never been to Orlando in August before can someone tell me what time it gets dark at night and what time the sun comes up.

Thanks

Roughly, the daylight hours in August in Orlando tend to be about 60 minutes less than equivalent time in the UK. Unless I am mistaken, Eatern Time also use 'Daylight Saving Time' or something like it in summer. It starts to get light just after 5am and you can still see twilight at 8pm.

I think Walt Disney arranged for it to get dark very early (and very fast!)so they could sell more of the "lighty up gizmos" at the evening parades!!
