Miami and Orlando
The verdict for December
Warm, festive and expensive
+A strong escape from European winter, with excellent weather compared with the hot, wet summer months.
–Demand rises significantly toward the holidays.
Excellent for winter sun and festive atmosphere, but not for bargain hunters.
Holiday atmosphere at peak demand
+Excellent winter weather and huge holiday programming.
–Christmas through New Year is one of the busiest and most expensive periods.
Excellent winter weather and huge holiday programming.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
