Top 5 Reasons January Is the Best Time to Visit Orlando

Fewer crowds, perfect weather, and a relaxed pace make January Orlando’s best-kept travel secret—especially at The Grove.

January may be one of Orlando’s best-kept secrets. With cooler temperatures, lighter crowds, and a more relaxed pace, it’s the ideal time to experience everything the destination—and The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando—has to offer. Here are the top five reasons January is the perfect time to plan your getaway.

1. Fewer Crowds, More Enjoyment

January brings a welcome break from peak-season crowds. Theme parks are easier to navigate, dining reservations are more flexible, and popular attractions feel far less rushed. Staying at The Grove allows you to enjoy the best of Orlando while returning to a peaceful resort retreat at the end of the day.

2. Mild Winter Weather

Orlando’s January weather is ideal for outdoor fun. Warm days and cooler evenings make it comfortable to explore, relax poolside, or enjoy outdoor dining. At The Grove, heated pools and hot tubs ensure the water park fun continues—even during winter.

3. Water Park Fun Without the Heat

Cooler temperatures make January one of the most enjoyable times to experience Surfari Water Park. Float the lazy river, ride the FlowRider, or splash with the kids without the intense summer sun. It’s all the fun—just more comfortable.

4. More Space to Truly Unwind

January travel often comes with better availability and seasonal value, making it a great time to enjoy The Grove’s spacious accommodations. Multi-bedroom suites, full kitchens, and separate living areas give families and groups room to spread out, relax, and feel right at home.

5. A Relaxed Way to Start the New Year

After the holiday rush, January travel feels intentional and refreshing. Slower mornings, flexible schedules, and quality time together create the kind of getaway that helps you truly reset. Whether you’re planning family time or a longer winter stay, January sets the tone for the year ahead.
