I'm thinking of going to Orlando FL on the 4th of July.

How's the weather around that time? Is it way too hot? Is it the raining season or hurricane season around that time????

Where's a good place to rent exotics while in the area?

Thanks!

The weather will likely be rain in the afternoon, highs in the low 90s. Yes, hurricane season started this month and goes to November. I'm not sure about the rentals. As you are probably aware, that will be a very busy weekend and if you are going to the theme parks, expect long lines, very long lines. Also, places typically raise their rates for holiday weekends. Since July 4 falls on a Friday, it'll make for a long weekend, so I'm sure everything will be packed.

If you want to come to Florida, maybe you should spend time at the beach and see the sights. At least that way you can spread out a bit and enjoy yourself.

Thanks for the info! When is the best time to hit Orlando during the year to get away from the crowds but at the same time be able to do water activities without it being too cold?

Mid to late August rates are low, there aren't any holidays, and school's back in session. If you don't have kids in school, that is the best time. It'll be hot though, so you will want to do some water activities.

Hey,

I've found that Rocktober is a really goodtime to visit. just around that time the afternoon rains become far and few between and the lines to the theme parks are no hassle. I'd say wait times are cut down from 45-60 minutes to around 0-15 minutes on average depending on the ride.

I agree, October and November are the best for visiting, before the snowbirds come down and rates go up. The weather is the best then also. I suggest August as an alternative if this was to be a "summer" trip. If you can pick any time of the year, the fall is probably the best time.
