4 Tips for Navigating Spring Break in Orlando 

It’s time to trade in textbooks for sunglasses and celebrate the hard work you’ve put into the first quarter of the year.   

With spring break quickly approaching and Florida once again leading as the top destination in the US for spring breakers, here are some tips and tricks for enhancing your well-deserved spring-vacay here in sunny Orlando.

1. Beat the Heat

The weather during springtime in Orlando can reach highs of about 80 degrees, which may come as a welcome, warm relief for those visiting from up north.  

Although we recommend packing a light sweater for layering, the winter wardrobe ends there. Instead, opt for shorts, short sleeves, and sandals – and don’t forget your bathing suit!  

At Rosen Inn International, you can enjoy two seasonally heated swimming pools. Even on cooler days or after the sun sets, you’ll still able to take a comfortable dip.  

The UV index may not be as intense as mid-summer, but sunscreen is still a must. There are virtually no clouds in the sky in March so the sun will be beating down on you all day.  

Speaking of heat, one of the biggest challenges tourists face while vacationing here in Orlando is heat exhaustion. To combat this, be sure to drink plenty of water while adventuring and take breaks in shaded areas to stay cool. 

2.  Expect Big Crowds  

It’s no secret that Orlando is the reigning destination for a family spring break. That being said, it’s best to keep in mind that spring break is one of the busiest times of the year for the theme parks. 

While the theme parks are amazing at trying to manage crowd control and minimize intense lines for their guests, don’t expect a wait-free visit to your theme park of choice.  

We recommend coming up with a list of must-do’s and be willing to sacrifice a few less-important attractions to make time for your non-negotiables. Prioritizing your itinerary means you’ll be able to use your time more wisely.

Hitting every single attraction is much more doable if you’re going for multiple days, so keep that in mind when booking your vacation and buying your tickets. 

Another helpful tip for dealing with crowds is making dining reservations in advance. Avoid hangry outbursts and two hour wait times by simply calling ahead, using your theme park apps, or searching for a restaurant on Open Table.  

Trust us, future hungry you will thank us.  

3.   Bring Snacks and Water to the Parks When Possible 

It’s no secret that theme park prices can seriously blow a budget.  

Luckily, Walt Disney World Resort theme parks allow you to bring in outside food and non-alcoholic beverages (as long as they are not in glass containers or require heating, processing, or refrigeration.)  

Stock up on snacks ahead of time and save your pennies for souvenirs and special treats.  

Universal Orlando Resort theme parks and SeaWorld Orlando are stricter with their policies and do not allow outside food or beverages, except for water, baby food/formula, and provisions for guests with special dietary needs. 

Heading to the parks from Rosen Inn International? You can snag some snacks from our on-site mini market, Lite Bite, or make a pit stop at a nearby gas station or market on the way.   

4. Book Your Room Early at Rosen Inn International
