Pack lightweight, breathable clothes for Orlando’s warm, humid climate most of the year, plus a light jacket for mild winter evenings. Bring swimsuits, reef-safe sunscreen and pool shoes for the heated seasonal pools and children’s pool, and smart-casual outfits (and a reservation) if you plan to dine at Fiorenzo or use the hotel’s bar/lounge venues.

- Wet season: May–October — pack a compact umbrella or light rain jacket.
- Dry/cool season: November–April — a light layer for evenings is useful.
- Hurricane season: June 1–Nov 30 — consider travel insurance if your trip falls in the peak months.
