💰 How far does your money go?
A pint at an Orlando bar runs about $6, roughly the same as a round in Zone 1, except here it comes with a side of sunshine instead of drizzle. A full plate at a diner costs around $14, and a three-course dinner for two rarely tops $50 with tip. Theme park days aside, everyday Orlando is cheaper than a night out in central London.
☀️ The weather
September in Orlando still runs hot, with highs around 32°C and warm, humid evenings. Expect the odd short afternoon downpour, typical of Florida's late summer, but the sun comes straight back out. By mid-October, highs settle nearer 27°C, making it one of the more comfortable windows to visit.
🏨 Where to stay
Base yourself near International Drive or Lake Buena Vista to stay close to the parks and the restaurants.
Home2 Suites By Hilton Orlando — 8.4/10 · From $95/night A solid budget pick with free breakfast and a kitchenette in every room.
DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Downtown — 8.7/10 · From $145/night A comfortable mid-range base away from the parks, with easy access to Downtown Orlando's bars and restaurants.
Grand Bohemian Orlando — 9.1/10 · From $260/night A boutique art-filled hotel in the heart of downtown, the pick for a proper splurge without the theme park price tag.
🎯 What to do
Orlando is more than the parks, though the parks are still the main event.
Discovery Cove — A quieter, ticketed alternative to the big parks, with swim-with-dolphins experiences and a private beach.
Orange County Regional History Center — A downtown museum covering Central Florida's history, a good rainy-afternoon option.
The Wheel at ICON Park — A 122-metre observation wheel with views over the whole city, best at sunset.
Winter Park's Scenic Boat Tour — A one-hour cruise through canals lined with mansions and cypress trees, unlike anything else in the city.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Orlando sits inland, but the rest of Florida is close.
Cocoa Beach — About an hour east, a laid-back surf town and the closest proper beach to the city.
Kennedy Space Center — Around 50 minutes east, for a look at NASA's launch pads and rocket history.
Tampa — Roughly 1.5 hours west, with a lively waterfront, Ybor City's Cuban heritage and fresh seafood.
Miami — About 3.5 hours south, for South Beach, Little Havana and a completely different pace.
