It’s hard to separate Walt Disney World from Orlando. There’s a reason it has a reputation for having the best theme parks in the world. Beyond the impressive attractions at Disney World, there’s also Universal Orlando Resort, Disney’s EPCOT Centre and Legoland. But if you look beyond the rollercoasters, you’ll find that there’s so much more to discover.

British Airways flies direct to Orlando International Airport from both London Heathrow and London Gatwick.
With over 300 days of sunshine throughout the year and an average temperature of 24°C, Orlando is an idyllic year-round destination. Peak season runs May – August, when the weather hits highs of 33°C and school’s out for summer. The cheapest time to visit Orlando is during the milder months between January – April, when you can avoid the bigger crowds and queuing is quicker.
Although hurricane season ranges between June to November, Orlando tends to only see some impact during July and September – which usually comes in the forms of epic thunder storms with the occasional golf ball-sized hail stones. This weather usually arrives in bursts and clears for more sunshine. To find our cheapest flights to Orlando, use our lowest fare finder.
