Best Times to Visit Universal Orlando Resort in 2024
Early to mid-January, up until spring break begins (Historically mid-February)
This window is awesome because the temperatures in Florida are usually cooler and there's less humidity. The holiday crowds have headed back home, and it’s right before the spring break crowds arrive.Most days in September (minus nights when Halloween Horror Nights is running)
September has historically been deemed as the best time to visit Orlando. Most September days should be awesome, but just remember that HHN dates will increase crowds (and Universal Studios Florida will close EARLY for the event).
Most weekdays in October and November (minus the week of Thanksgiving)
Keep in mind that Halloween Horror Nights is throughout October and runs through the first weekend of November. Try AVOIDING the week of Thanksgiving, as that can be one of the busiest times at Universal Orlando Resort.
The weeks between Thanksgiving & Christmas
During the couple of weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when Thanksgiving crowds have gone back home and Christmas crowds have yet to arrive (and kids are still in school). Temperatures can be milder around this time. Christmas decorations are also up!Pro Tips:
Remember- Staying on-site at Universal’s hotels is a great way to get the most out of your time, as you get Early Park Admission.The premier resorts– Portofino Bay Hotel,Hard Rock Hotel, and Royal Pacific Resort – also offer complimentaryExpress Passes!
