Orlando ranked as top winter travel destination for U.S. travelers

It seems Orlando’s consistently warm weather and screaming good deals are reason enough for Northerners to come and defrost their frozen toes. On Friday, TripAdvisor announced that Orlando is the No. 1 winter travel destination for U.S. travelers – beating out Las Vegas, Cancun and Key West.

TripAdvisor mainly looked at search interest and average weekly cost. So, for Orlando, the week of Jan. 16-22 was listed as the least expensive winter week to visit, with an average cost of $1,870. Travelers would end up spending 14 percent less than if they booked during most expensive week, March 13-19.
