When is the best time to visit Emerald Island Resort Orlando, Florida?
The best time to book a stay in our Emerald Island Resort Orlando rentals is outside of peak season. In peak season, which is the summertime and around holiday periods, such as Christmas and Easter, both the resorts and Orlando’s top attractions are likely to be significantly busier. Furthermore, in the summer season, Orlando can experience sudden downpours. Though these are typically warm and brief, you may choose to avoid them if you want to keep dry throughout your vacation.
Our favorite time to visit Orlando and its resorts is in the autumn and spring. This is because most people are still at work and school, offering you the chance to experience Orlando with smaller crowds of tourists, but the weather is still utterly delightful. In these months, you can expect mild temperatures that still keep you plenty warm, but aren’t quite as high as in the summer months, and a low chance of rain.
How far is Orlando Airport to Emerald Island Resort?
Whilst Emerald Island Resort is nestled on the outskirts of the city, towards the southwest, the main airport for the region (Orlando International Airport, or, MCO) is located in the southeast. Due to its prime location, there are several routes you can take between the two, with the fastest being along the FL-528. This journey has a toll, but takes only 33 minutes and covers a total of 26 miles. The second route that runs slightly further south to our recommended route goes along the FL-417. This way also has a toll, but it is only slightly longer at 36 minutes driving time and passes close to a Target, Walmart and Publix.
Is there an Emerald Island Resort shuttle to Disney World?
