BETWEEN PARK DAYS

Cold snap in Orlando? Warm plans between park days

Orlando can have cooler days in late fall and winter. An indoor afternoon is a practical swap for a park day.

What to pack

  • Pack layers you can add or remove.
  • Bring a jacket for time outside between stops.
  • Choose closed shoes and socks.
  • Add a compact umbrella if rain is forecast.
