If you are planning a vacation to Orlando, you may have already noticed that prices in flights, hotel rooms, and theme park tickets fluctuate widely throughout the year. To get the best value for your money, consider scheduling an off-season trip to Orlando, Florida. As a rule, during off-season, prices are lower and crowds are thinner, so you’ll be able to see and do more at the parks for less money and less time waiting in lines.
Times to Avoid: School Vacations
When looking for the cheapest times to go to Orlando, you’ll want to avoid all school holidays, both in the U.S. and the UK and Europe. The main times to avoid are:
- Last two weeks of December and first week of January (Christmas / Winter Break)
- Mid March to Mid April (Easter / Spring Break)
- Mid June through August (Summer Break)
Cheapest Times to Visit Orlando
January to February
After holiday crowds have returned home the first week of January, the rest of January and February are a great time to visit Orlando and get the most for your money. Another benefit of visiting Orlando at this time is fewer rain showers, meaning you can spend all day enjoying Florida sunshine at the parks or by the pool.
A few dates in January and February that might increase the price of Disney tickets and accommodations are:
- The Disney Marathon in late January
- President’s Day weekend the third week of February
Be mindful of these dates and possible price increases as you search bookings, and you’ll be set for a perfect January or February Orlando vacation plan.
September through mid-November
Students have just returned to school, so very few families are traveling to Orlando during September, October, and November.
Dates to keep in mind:
- There may be increases in prices around October due to Halloween festivities at the parks.
Early December
Early December is a great time to visit Orlando. You will see lower flights and cheaper Disney tickets before prices increase again in mid-December for the winter holidays.
Tips for Purchasing Disney Tickets
The most cost-effective way to purchase Disney tickets is via a booking agency. Consider a 3 day Orlando package or longer to get the most for your money. If you plan to purchase directly from Disney, the multi-day passes will save you money.
Single day tickets are the most expensive way to visit Disney, and prices vary from day to day. That’s because these tickets are subject to peak day surcharges. If you need to purchase a one day Disney ticket, use this guide to choose low-traffic months and compare dates before buying. Prices to visit the park on weekdays are often lower than weekends.
