Weather in Orlando in January
January in Orlando is mild enough that walking is the default. This is a city-break month more than a sea-holiday month.
In United States, this is how Orlando actually wears January, not how a country centroid would. January is the cold side of the year in Orlando. Pack for that, not for a leftover summer photo.

Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.
