Warm during the day, cool at night and little rain. Ideal weather for most, but the locals will be bundled up during January & February. Considered the low season for Orlando, there will be smaller crowds until about mid March when Spring Break begins. Great time to to take advantage of cheaper flights and room rates. Maybe even give the kids a few extra days off during school.

While researching, you may have come across a number of articles telling you this is the best time to visit...  Let's take a look at the facts and then decide for yourself. 

HOT & HUMID with unpredictable heavy rain!  Schools Out = long lines & high room rates. Traveling to Orlando during high season means the theme parks, attractions, beaches and resorts will be at their busiest and most expensive. If this time works best, bring a rain jacket.
