Orlando, Florida. – Orlando is the top destination for local travelers during Memorial Day weekend, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA).
In fact, AAA data indicates that Florida is the favorite state to travel during this long weekend because Fort Lauderdale and Miami are also among the 10 busiest cities for this weekend.
“This Memorial Day weekend, travelers are looking for theme parks and entertainment venues in Orlando, New York, Las Vegas and Southern California, Seattle, Anchorage and Vancouver, with the latter taking center stage due to to the popularity of Alaska cruises this time of year. Florida beaches and cruise ports will also be full,” AAA warned.
Likewise, AAA expects more than 2.5 million Florida residents to travel 50 miles or more, a record number because it is 126,500 more drivers than the previous maximum, which was set last year.
