The Best Time to Rent a Disney Vacation Home in Orlando?
January – Good. Parks are still a bit empty, weather is somewhat cooler.
February– Cooler weather. Check when Race Week is in Daytona, during the weekend of the Daytona 500, Orlando and Kissimmee get packed. Homes charge top $ when Race Week hits.
March– Busier. Cooler weather. Parks (Disney, Universal Studios & Seaworld) begin to pick up steam, conventions increase and spring break kicks in. Thus, rates go up. Check your Easter week dates as well.
April – Very similar to March. Do your homework as to when spring break and Easter fall. Generally a very pleasant time in Orlando. A great time to book an Orlando villa.
May – Can be very nice. Weather starts getting humid.
June – Busy. Hot humid weather quite often. Vacation homes can fill up with summer vacationers. Highest rainfall period of year.
July – Busy. Hot humid weather quite often. Vacation homes fill up with summer vacationers. Watch out for July 4th weekend, the area is packed.
August – Busy, but everything slows down. Hot humid weather quite often. Vacation homes are somewhat filled with summer vacationers.
September – Slow and empty, and great deals can be had! Slow parks and somewhat cooler weather.
October – Conventions pick-up, but weather does begin cool. Deals can be found. Halloween Horror nights is in on so weekends can get busy, but this effects more the hotels around Universal Studios than the vacation homes in the south toward Disney.
November – Typically a slower month, with nice cooler weather. Thanksgiving can be busy, so do your homework. Vacation rentals are a great way to enjoy the season!
