Orlando 2009 -

Hi

I%26#39;ve been reading hundreds of posts on here which has left me with even more questions then before I started so thought I would just start my own post.

Me and My girlfriend are planning to go to orlando sometime next year or maybe early 2010 and need some advice. We were looking at going in November next year as her aunt has been twice then and recommended it. I%26#39;m worried as I have read that some of the parks can be closed for refurbishment around this time so was hoping if someone can clear this up for me. If not November we were thinking about feb 2010 again could we miss out on parks etc if we go then.

I been looking on the net at weather etc but wanted some first hand views on this, what is the weather actually like in November or Feb is it warm enough to go to the waterparks etc.

Any extra advice on where to book who to fly with etc would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Weather - glorious in November. If you got this during summer here you%26#39;d count yourself VERY lucky. Every time I%26#39;ve been. Probably the same in Feb. Yes, it can get cool in the evenings, but it%26#39;s not that common. Probably the best time to go.

Parks closed? Nope. Maybe the odd attraction within a park, but otherwise still open for business and, if you avoid ThanksGiving, not too busy either.

I agree

November is Great. Have done the Waterparks no problem. LOW crowd levels except for Thanksgiving

If you want even warmer weather, September %26amp; October are also good times to go. If you are thinking at all of staying at a Disney Resort, there is an offer for Free Dining, very nice Perk www.mousesavers.com/ukvisitors.html

You can get a Free Quote from www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com They are very reliable

Parks dont normally shut except for the odd attraction and a waterpark normally closes but they also close in february too.

I have been both in November and in February....weather was better in November...we were cold in Feb and had to go out %26amp; buy more jumpers as we hadnt brought enough. November we visited wet N wild and didnt feel too cold.

Another advantage of november is you can see the christmas decorations. Just beware of thanksgiving it does get a bit crowded.

I personally would opt for November over february if I were to go again at this time of year

Hi,

I have been in Late October and Jan/Feb before (going back this Jan/Feb).

People are right weather normally warmer October/November, however when we went Jan/Feb had some very warm days - all was T-shirt weather - it does get cold at night though (jacket and trousers required)

The thing about January and February time is that the parks are really quiet, at Busch Gardens last time I don%26#39;t think we queued for a ride for longer than 5 mins. The odd ride may be closed for maintainence but 90% was running and it was worth it to avoid the queues.

Thanks for all the replies guys they were a big help.

We%26#39;ve decided to go in Novmeber now so starting to look at where to boook etc.

So far Virgin are the only company to book that far in advance. Does anyone have any good suggestions on who to use. Also when is a good time to book. I%26#39;m only after room flight and maybe car, tickets etc i%26#39;m going to sort on-line.

Also apart from the parks anyone got any good suggestions on things to see?

Again thanks for all the help so far

Hi mate

ive been in July and August and next year i have decided to go in April after EASTER weather is good warm but not too hot and all park rides are open. Not much dearer than Feb either, but price goes up in May.Hope that helps

I%26#39;ve been to Orlando many times and opted for the cheap airline options with stop offs and also travelled with Virgin, who fly direct. As you have got plenty of time to save I would certainly recommend Virgin. Dollar are probably the cheapest car rental company, so you can book them on their UK site. You%26#39;ll find plenty of good hotel deals on sites such as Expedia and Ebookers. The Swan and Dolphin often have superb deals in November; ask them to keep you posted. You%26#39;ll also find several very reasonably priced hotels close to Disney Village, or Downtown Disney, as it is now known. These include Lake Buena Vista Palace, which is offering 99 dollar a room rates this year.

Hi Shane, i booked for me and my son, November 2009 with virgin. good hotel and car included but opted for free transfer as first time going and hotel is off international drive. price went up by 拢100 a week later though

Hi Shane, I have been to Olrlando many times and always used Virgin they maybe a bit more expensive but worth it. We tend to book flights with Virgin then book Hotel and car. You can get some good deals on Hotels and Cars if you shop around on the internet. If your a first time driver in Orlando pay the extra and get a Sat Nav with the Car. Best of Luck Hope you enjoy your trip.

hi, we are looking to book a holiday for next september, and we also might book virgin flights, but it is still a little early to book yet as they let you book flights 11 months before you fly. I found these sites on the web, travel republic.com and roomsnet.com and they have really good prices for rooms. hope you find something.
