When To Visit WDW
When is the best time to visit Walt Disney World?
The answer will be different for everyone, sometimes you are tied down to certain times such as school holidays.
Below we will give you some information so you can make that important decision.
Weather
As everyone knows, Florida can be very hot, in the summer months it can get up to mid-high 30Cs. If you are not one for the heat, it is best to visit in the cooler months (when it is still warm) Oct-April. See the table below for average temperatures and rainfall.

Hurricanes
The hurricane season runs from June until October, BUT the major hurricanes usually hit Florida in August and September. Do not let the fear of having a hurricane put you off as Orlando very rarely gets hit because of the location (inland), also major hurricanes do not form every year. I have been many times in the summer and have never been hit!!
