Weather can be a bit mixed in Oct/Nov but nowhere does hallowe’en like the states. It a great time to be there.November is ace!! Weather is good and the parks aren't very crowded because schools aren't out. Longest we waited was maybe 15-30 minutes at most for rides.
Anyone coming to Orlando, please also consider this as a day out - Cape Canaveral Kennedy Space Centre - about 40 miles from Orlando airport.
I went on Saturday, brilliant trip for all ages. $57 for adults and $45 for kids but you can be in there all day. Look on their website and try and come on a day when there is a rocket launch.... saw one Sunday night / Monday morning and it was fantastic!
Stay at nearby Cocoa Beach over night, great beach to chill on and surf on too.
Glad you mentioned Busch Gardens - people seem to ignore Tampa and stay in Orlando. It is well worth booking at least 2 of your nights in the Tampa area, one day for Busch Gardens and one day (minimum) at Clearwater or St Pete's beaches. Tampa is 70 miles from Disney
When I go to the airport to collect family / friends (or on my way to fly out myself) I always leave early to pull into Champions Gate for a bite to eat at the Ale House, couple of pints and a quick kip in the car and then onto the airport.Never been to Busch but have stayed in St Pete's.
Last year we did one day road trip from Orlando up to Cedar Key for some clam chowder and then down to Clearwater for a quick stroll on beach and a bite to eat. Was one of our best days there.
We stayed a few miles south of the World at Championsgate, just off I4, so a car was essential; actually, because we are stupid (it's part of the fun upgrading at the airport!) a great big Ford Explorer. So my advice on cars is not much use but you do need to be careful with the insurance; I know we ended up adding it on before we left but the original car hire cost was still low because it was part of the package.
Not sure if it has already been covered but what age do you think is best to take the kids at?
Cheers - good point5 year old and upwards probably. They will remember it then. Any younger and you can wank 2k on fuck all.
My daughter came over last year with grandson (5) and grand daughter (8) they had a fantastic time in the parks (came in May and they thought it was too hot!)Not sure if it has already been covered but what age do you think is best to take the kids at?
In the north east (NY / Boston) yes weather can be very mixed, but not in Florida - a great time of the year.Weather can be a bit mixed in Oct/Nov but nowhere does hallowe’en like the states. It a great time to be there.
