    Travelling to orlando!

    Hey guys,

    Looking to book a vacation to Orlando late August / early September of this year.

    Just wondering what the weather is like around this time? If there will be much going on?

    Plan is to hit up some of the tourist attractions, Kennedy space centre etc...

    A trio to Miami also.
    Any advice is appreciated.

    September is dicey. Depends on tropical depressions moving thru carribean. . Some days the skies opened up and buckets of water for a few minutes. Other times for a couple hours. Other days not a cloud in the ski . Enjoy!!

    Yup thats hurricane season bro. Like GGR said, roll the dice and if you're going to book a vacation, be sure to get travel insurance so if you have to cancel you can be reimbursed on flight hotel rental car etc.

    Yes, but I hear the Motel 6's in that area have fantastic air conditioners.

    Yeah the last time I was there I think it was an August but that was as a kid. I vaguely remember rain 1hr per day really because of the humidity...

    The chances of a tropical storm are slim I heard, but there is the possibility.

    I will have insurance too.

    It'll be hot and humid as hell, and it will pour every day between 2 and 4 pm. No joke.

    cheers Bonaparte..

    Yeah I know it's gonna rain, that doesn't bother me. Just want to get over for the sights and a little vacation before I'm back to uni this September.

    September is meant to be quiet for tourism around Orlando anyway, so I've heard.

    It's not rain like most people think of rain the skies open up and can drop inches of water quickly. I was in a grocery store a year ago August and went in it was nice out. Up and down an isle and it's POURING outside. There was well over an inch of standing water in the parking lot I "just" came in from. Finished shopping maybe 20 minutes later and the standing water was gone. I was super lucky on that trip. Hit up Kennedy and was inside various attractions while it rained. If you're military bring your ID there are a ton of places that give military discounts.

    True on quite. Rain like in sheets/not drops with little to no warning. At least the rain is warm.

    Cheers guys. Yeah from reading the daily "rain showers" and thunder storms are intense but short. Lasting an hour to two hours.

    Most people are saying anywhere between 4-6pm. Meaning finish daily activities around that time, go get lunch or dinner, maybe be inside for an attraction and then back out once it stops.

    I'm anxious but also very much looking forward to it. The hotel also has a gym :-)

    Whats really a bummer is when your in line at the amusement park for rides and it opens up and pours and you have to walk around all the rest of the park in soaked clothes. Yep real fun...Not to mention everything else with you soaked as well, bill fold, camera, etc...But you can rent lockers there to keep your stuff in while your there, so eh go for it...Just don't wear underwear that day as they are worse for wear when wet under your pants...

    Hey if you have any time left while down by Miami you might think about driving on down to Key West. It's a fun place to visit. Well I had a great time while there. But be prepared it's an 8 hour drive on down to key west from Miami.

    The plan was drive to Miami, and an over night stay. Could drive on down to key west for 1 night but might not be worth it with the drive tine? Thanks for the tip bro
