After a chilly winter (at least by Florida standards), nothing sounds better than enjoying some fresh spring air with that special someone. Lucky for us Orlandoans, there is no shortage of options for us to spend time taking in the beauty of the aptly-named Sunshine State. One of our favorite ways to be outside is an outdoor movie date—snugged up on a blanket, sharing a picnic and a bottle of wine (where permitted). Read ahead to find our favorite spots in town to catch a free (or almost free) outdoor flick this spring!
Check out our year-round guide to where to watch free outdoor movies in Orlando for more ideas.
