MAY IN ORLANDO

Sunny Skies, Star Wars, and Summer Kickoffs: Your Ultimate Guide to May in Orlando

If you missed the spring break rush, congratulations—you’ve hit the Orlando jackpot. May is widely considered the “sweet spot” of the Florida calendar. The weather is spectacular, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures reaching that perfect mid-80s mark, and the heavy summer humidity is still just a rumor. From galactic celebrations to floral masterpieces, May offers a world-class lineup of events. Best of all, Regal Oaks is keeping the savings rolling so you can enjoy a lower upscale retreat without the luxury price tag.

Universal Orlando Resort May is the ideal time to visit Universal’s water theme park, Volcano Bay. Before the summer peak hits in June, the lines for the Krakatau Aqua Coaster are much more manageable.

The Great Outdoors & Springs Before the summer rains become a daily occurrence, May is the prime time for an airboat tour or a trip to Wekiwa Springs. The water stays a constant 72°F year-round, offering a refreshing break from the Florida sun.

Memorial Day Weekend As the unofficial kickoff to summer, the last weekend of May is packed with energy. Many local communities, including nearby Celebration, host commemorative events and craft festivals. If you are staying at Regal Oaks, look out for our poolside activities and holiday weekend specials at ZAC’s.
