Orlando is a relatively short drive from Southwest Florida, and a popular destination, especially if you love theme parks. It's almost always fun to visit, however, some times of the year it is less magical than others due to crowds and the Florida heat. We have some inside information to help with your planning. The best days of the year to visit Disney are coming up. They are in October and November according to the travel planning experts at MagicGuide.

This does not mean you wont experience crowds and long lines at some of the most popular attractions. However, those crowds should be less and the lines much shorter than during peak times.
