Hey!
Absolute complete newbie to Florida / Orlando.
So, myself, OH, my sister and her OH have decided to go to Orlando in 2023 to celebrate both the OH’s 40th (Yes, 4 adults ranging from 34-42 will be going. No kids. And I don’t care about judgement )
Unfortunately, their birthdays are 1 day apart Mid JULY so we’re going to shift the actual holiday to avoid melting to death or being swamped with summer holiday crowds. We’re thinking late Feb-early March / April (avoiding easter) or Sept / Oct (not Halloween) Has anyone been during these times or have any advice in best times to reduce crowds? I understand crowds is definitely a thing all year round but we want to avoid crazy mad busy.
All 4 of us are complete Orlando virgins. I am finding the planning/research sooooo overwhelming in honesty. Give me the planning of back packing trips through Japan/Thailand/China any day. Orlando is blowing my mind.
Any recommendations on “best times” or hotels would be so welcome. What’s important to us as travellers?
1) minimising crowds (even if it means going less warm times)
2) Parks - we know we want to visit Magic Kingdom and Universal - especially Wizarding world. I need to research this but we know we will rather visit less parks and enjoy more time in the ones we do visit.
