🌞 Orlando Weather Tips for Park Visitors

• Summer (Jun–Sep): Expect daily afternoon thunderstorms, usually between 2–5pm. They're intense but brief — typically 30–45 minutes. Rides often pause; use the break for lunch or indoor attractions.
• Heat: Summer temps regularly hit 92–96°F (33–36°C) with high humidity. Wear lightweight clothing, stay hydrated, and consider a midday resort break.
• Best weather months: January–April and October–November offer the most comfortable temperatures (65–80°F / 18–27°C) with low humidity and minimal rain.
• Hurricane season: June through November. Direct hits are rare, but tropical weather can bring heavy rain. Check forecasts before your trip.
• What to pack: Sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, a light rain poncho (Disney ponchos are expensive — bring your own), and comfortable walking shoes.
• Ride closures: Lightning within 8 miles causes outdoor ride shutdowns. Check wait times on our live wait times page — sudden drops across multiple rides often signal a lightning closure.
