Easter week is a peak; the rest is pleasant. The planner rates every month on three things that can be measured: Orlando's 30-year weather normals, Disney's own date-based prices (Disney charges more when it expects more people), and the posted price of Lightning Lane. April comes out tough.

Weather

Average high 83°F, average low 61°F, 6 days a month with measurable rain (NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, Orlando International). Rain is the exception, not the rule.
