Best time of year to go to Florida?

What time of year is the best weather-wise to go to Florida?
We were thinking of going next year but don't want to go mid hurricaine season!

You have to be careful because it is VERY hot in the summer, so it is not really their high season.

You also have to be careful of when they have their holidays such as Thanksgiving etc.

I went in February a couple of years ago and it was great. Weather was high 70s but never really too unpleasant. (I think we were lucky though, it is not always that warm in February).

They do have Presidents day holiday during February so theme parks were packed that weekend, but either side of that they were fine.

Search Google as there are loads of sights about visiting Florida giving suggestions for the better times to go.

Easter is lovely if you are restricted to school holidays, otherwise I would chose between Easter and the May half term.

I was last there in April and it was perfect from a temperature point of view.

We went to Orlando at Easter last year and the weather was perfect, but the theme parks were very busy (Sprink Break over there)

We went the last two weeks of May this year and there weren't so many people but it was very hot and humid. However, I was told that it was unseasonally so - not sure if this is the case - in fact, I'm off to check now!

I've been told by the locals there that May and October are the best times to go (although technically October is still hurricane season)

Sorry, SPRING break, not Sprink!
