Getting there

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 2.5 hours in the air.

Orlando (MCO) has nonstops from New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago O'Hare, Toronto, London (Heathrow and Gatwick) and Paris Charles de Gaulle. No Tel Aviv nonstop was listed.

Most guests fly into Orlando International and rent a car or take a ride service; visitors from Israel usually connect through a New York-area or European airport.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

  • Orlando International Airport (MCO): about 25 minutes by carThe main Orlando airport.

Driving instead

  • From Boca Raton: about 2.75 hours
  • From Miami: about 3.5 hours

Late April weather

Warm and mostly sunny, with days around 83°F (28°C) and nights near 63°F (17°C).

Good to know

  • A car is the easiest way to get around; the villas are in a gated community a short drive from the parks.
  • Chol hamoed overlaps with other spring travelers, so theme parks are crowded; buy tickets ahead and arrive at opening time.
  • Kosher-for-Pesach food is hard to find inside the parks, so plan to bring food from your program.
  • Eastern time zone. Afternoon sun is strong, so pack hats and sunscreen.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
