What the numbers don't tell you
April is warm and dry with ideal park weather, especially in the second half once Easter and spring break fade. Pools and water parks are comfortable, with afternoons around 29 °C. Rates ease from March levels but remain above autumn. The Flower and Garden Festival continues at Epcot, and the Star Wars celebrations at Hollywood Studios fall around 4 May. Rain falls on about five days.
Easter week, when it falls in April, is one of the busiest of spring, with the Magic Kingdom reaching capacity on some days. Humidity stays low until the last days of the month. The Orlando Fringe opens in mid-May. Daylight passes thirteen hours. For the quiet early-May window before the schools finish, see May.
