What to Do in Orlando in Summer 2019

If you travel to Orlando during the summer, it’s likely you are going to one of the dozen theme parks in the area. Temperatures are on average in the 80s and humid, and you will be happy to know that there are plenty of water rides at the theme parks to keep you cool. If you want something outside of the Disney/Universal/Harry Potter experience, try Gatorland. This relic from the 1940s offers all things alligator, as well as a water park and zip line. Head to Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando where you can watch some swans or relax. The Harry P. Leu Gardens is a botanical garden along Lake Rowena that offers an escape from the city. If you are planning your vacation over July 4th, many of the theme parks (Disney especially) have elaborate fireworks displays. There are also fireworks at Lake Eola and in nearby Kissimmee.

Traffic Information

A car rental in Orlando helps make navigating the city simple and stress-free. Before you hit the road, however, there are a few things to know about driving in Florida. We recommend you use a driving app or include a GPS with your rental vehicle so you can have a sense of where you are going before getting your journey underway. Local radio will also keep you updated on traffic and weather warnings, which is important as there can be severe storms in the region due to its tropical climate. I-95, which is also known as the Atlantic Coast Highway is the main interstate. The other major freeway is the I-4, which was nicknamed the Haunted Highway as it was built over a graveyard. Driving the I-4 will take you from Orlando to the south towards Tampa or north to destinations such as Daytona Beach.

Sixt Sightseeing Tips

Our Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resort branch is great for those vacationing in the area. Whether a guest of the hotel or not, you can rent a car and have the means to make the most of the local sights. Easily drive to Disney attractions, Universal Studios, or swim with dolphins at the Discovery Cove. Plus you are in close proximity to beautiful golf courses and plenty of shopping. If renting from our Kissimmee/Orlando branch you are ideally situated for outings to Walt Disney World. In addition to being close to the park, you can reach other Orlando top attractions with access to several major highways.

You also have the chance to see and do much than just the major theme parks and tourist attractions when you rent a car in Orlando. For example, the downtown districts of Orlando each offer their own unique flavor and flair. Take a driving tour and sample local delights at the South Eola District Orlando Farmers Market or enjoy the European feel of Thornton Park after shopping and dining in the Central Business District. Just a short drive brings you to Wekiwa Springs State Park where you can hike through diverse ecosystems or paddle down the Wekiva River. The 4,700 acres of the Forever Florida wildlife conservation offer another alternative for activities in nature.
