Chicago is one of the best places to be in the summer. The days are sunny and hot, but a cooling breeze blows in from the waters of Lake Michigan. The beaches are packed and it seems like there is a neighborhood festival happening every weekend.
It’s a true summer playground for kids and adults, and it’s such a change from the dreary days of winter than it almost seems a shame to leave during this time. Of course, for those with kids, sticking around all summer may not hold quite the same appeal as a family vacation to a more “magical” destination.
Summer is high season in Orlando, but for many families it’s also the best time to get the whole family together for an unforgettable trip. Luckily, it’s still possible to find cheap flights to Orlando from Chicago, especially if you book further in advance or have the flexibility to look for last-minute deals.
Though demand is up in the summer, you’ll find a lot of options for cheap Orlando hotels, just be sure to look outside of the Disney properties as well, and you’ll see a range of deals for every budget. One of the best ways to save money on your family trip is to look at Disney World vacation packages that include air, hotel, and theme park admission. While these often look quite pricey, they may be a better deal than booking a la carte, particularly for families of four.
