Checked against named sources

The weather is still summer weather. I always mention trip protection in September conversations, not to scare anyone, but because a named storm can affect Orlando flights and parks in ways that a regular storm in July does not. Plan the trip you want, and build in flexibility.

Questions to Ask Before You Book

  • Are the kids old enough to handle a midday heat break, or do you need a resort room with a short walk?
  • Is there a holiday or event in September that affects crowds or park hours?
  • Does anyone in the group have heat or rain sensitivities that change the plan?
