Orlando has a hot, humid wet season from May to October with frequent afternoon thunderstorms; pack breathable fabrics, a rain jacket, and quick-dry items then. The drier, cooler season runs roughly November–April — bring a light jacket for cooler evenings.
If you travel during hurricane season (June 1–November 30), keep travel insurance in mind and pack flexible clothing plans for possible weather interruptions.
- May–October: shorts, moisture-wicking shirts, rain poncho
- November–April: light jacket, long pants for cooler evenings
- Hurricane season awareness: check forecasts and insurance
Family extras and children’s items
The resort is family-friendly and offers a children’s water play area and supervised childcare (surcharge). Pack familiar items for little ones: small floatation devices (if desired), swim diapers if needed, and a change of clothes for pool-to-park transitions.
If you plan on extended park days, bring snacks and an insulated lunch bag for in-between meal stretches; the on-site Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory is a quick-service food court open from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
