Destination guide
Orlando: Theme-park capital of the world
Orlando is the busiest leisure destination in the country, with Walt Disney World, Universal's three parks including Epic Universe, and SeaWorld. MCO is a major hub for low-cost and legacy airlines alike, so family fares are competitive from every region.
Best time to visit: January–February (after New Year's) and late August–September offer the shortest park lines and lowest fares. October is pleasant; summer is hot, wet and crowded.
