When to go and what to expect
New York
Spring (April to June) and fall (September to early November) bring the mildest weather. December fills up with holiday visitors, and late summer can be hot and humid.
Orlando
Parks are busiest in summer, over spring break and in holiday weeks. Early fall and early December outside the holidays are often calmer. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer.
Hurricane season runs from June through November and can affect travel to or from Orlando. Read the fare rules on changes and consider weather coverage if you travel then.
Getting between the airport and town
New York: Subway, commuter rail and buses link all three airports to Manhattan. Taxis and ride-hail are everywhere but depend heavily on traffic.
Orlando: Rental cars, resort shuttles and ride-hail are the usual ways to reach the parks. Public transit is limited.

- Hurricane season runs June to November. Families booking for school breaks usually need to plan further ahead than other travelers.
- Compare the total with bags included, not just the base fare. See baggage fees and taxes and fees.
