December Holidays in Florida

December is the most magical time to visit Florida, Orlando is awash with beautiful festive displays, and all of the parks have their own very special Christmas themes, magnificent parades and spectacular night shows and firework displays. The days are still very pleasantly warm, but do remember to take a fleece into the parks as the evenings can feel quite cool. The parks have extended opening times during the festive period, so for the same admission price you can enjoy full days and evenings, packed with non-stop rides, adventures and entertainment. There is a different experience waiting to be discovered around every corner, and even though the parks are busy, somehow that just adds to the festive atmosphere. Away from Orlando the coastal resorts are still very pleasantly warm, and what better place to do your Christmas shopping than in one of the many festive shopping malls throughout Orlando and the rest of Florida. Our USA team at Pillinger World Travel can offer low season fares to depart right up until around the 12th of December, and if you can return after Christmas Day, we can get you an absolute bargain. Why not give your family a Christmas to remember and skip the Christmas chaos at home and take off to the Sunshine State.

October Holidays in Florida

October in Orlando is not for the faint hearted. There are fantastic Halloween events throughout the parks that continue throughout October and November. Each park has their own Halloween festivities and celebrations. Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Studios is one of the country's largest and most elaborate Halloween events, opening hours are extended and it truly is a fantastic experience, with an eerie feel and superb lighting effects. Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, where there are live shows, Halloween storytelling and a special Halloween themed firework display above Cinderella's castle. Sea World Orlando also hosts an underwater 'Fantasea' where youngsters trick-or-treat amongst exotic fish and friendly sea witches. Give one of our Florida team a call at Pillinger World Travel and we can help you get the most out of your visit at this 'Spooktacular' Time.
