Weather in Florida

[tigwig]

We are going to Orlando on 21st Feb for 2 weeks and I am wondering if anyone knows what kind of weather we can expect and how busy it is likely to be.

Our family went in February about 5 years ago.

Not sure if it is the same every year, but we had gorgeous weather, similar to our English summer. We had some days in the 80s. If you are lucky you can expect mid 70s.

We were playing outside on the "crazy golf" at 9pm at night in shorts and t shirts and we were not cold.

It was very quiet when we were there, although Presidents day fell while we were there and that weeked it was PACKED (it is like an English bank holiday weekend).

Looked it up on the internet and Presidents day is Monday 18th February this year, so I think you will miss that crowded weeked.

I think you have chosen a very good time to go, as going in the summer in Florida it is FAR too hot.

Not sure if you have been to Florida before, or looking for places to go, but can I suggest Old Town in Kissimee.

Free to park and free to get in.

Best way to describe it is like going back into the days of Rock and Roll and the movie Grease.

Best time to go is when they have the car rallies. Lots of old cars from the 50s and 60 and 70s in a parade. Even if you are not into cars to see car after car all done up is an amazing site.

There is an old fashioned high street like from a town in the wild west, plus a fun fair, places to eat, shops to mooch, street entertainers, live bands and so on.

It does get very busy when the car rallies are on so get there early or park some distance away and walk.
