March is moderate for Orlando.
March brings warm, mostly dry weather — highs around 26°C — but it also brings Spring Break, one of the busiest and priciest stretches of the year. The weather is genuinely lovely; the crowds are the catch.
From mid-to-late March, US school Spring Breaks overlap and the parks fill up. Expect long lines, packed restaurants, and hotel rates that can run well above the winter baseline. If you can travel in early March (before the rush), you get the good weather with far smaller crowds.

Orlando in March — Full Picture
March brings warm, mostly dry weather — highs around 26°C — but it also brings Spring Break, one of the busiest and priciest stretches of the year. The weather is genuinely lovely; the crowds are the catch.
From mid-to-late March, US school Spring Breaks overlap and the parks fill up. Expect long lines, packed restaurants, and hotel rates that can run well above the winter baseline. If you can travel in early March (before the rush), you get the good weather with far smaller crowds.
UV rises sharply this month (index around 8), so sunscreen, a hat, and hydration matter even though it isn't yet summer-hot. Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival typically starts, adding gardens and food booths to the World Showcase.
Note: avoid the Spring Break peak if crowds bother you — the same weather is available in early March or late February with a fraction of the lines.
