Orlando means long, hot days on your feet. Pack comfortable shoes, sun protection, ponchos for afternoon storms and a smart system for keeping kids hydrated, charged and happy in the queues.

Best time to visit

Spring and autumn are warm with thinner crowds; summer is hot, humid and stormy but coincides with school holidays.

💡 Local tips

Things to know before you pack

  • Broken-in trainers — you'll walk 25,000+ steps a day in the parks

  • Rain ponchos for the daily summer thunderstorms

  • Refillable water bottles and a portable charger for the queues

  • A change of clothes for water rides; quick-dry fabrics help

❓ FAQ

Packing for Orlando — common questions

What shoes are best for theme parks?+

Already-broken-in trainers or supportive walking shoes. You can easily clock 25,000+ steps a day, so new shoes are a recipe for blisters.

Does it rain a lot in Orlando?+

In summer, expect brief, heavy afternoon thunderstorms most days. Pack cheap ponchos rather than umbrellas, which are awkward in queues.
