The No. 1 Memorial Day destination is in Florida (and it’s not Miami)

Orlando takes this year's top spot

Orlando

A record-breaking 45.1 million Americans are expected to travel domestically for Memorial Day weekend, according to AAA. Despite high prices, many are taking advantage of the long holiday to spend time with loved ones and taking trips closer to home.

This year’s top Memorial Day destinations, based on AAA booking data for travel between May 22 and 26, might surprise you. Orlando takes the number one spot, beating out beach cities and even Miami. The Central Florida city continues to draw families with its theme parks and proximity to Port Canaveral, a major cruise hub.

AAA highlights the best times to hit the road during the holiday weekend

Traffic

Get ready for packed roads and long lines, as 45.1 million Americans are expected to travel over Memorial Day weekend this year, marking a new record, according to AAA. The travel period runs from Thursday, May 22 to Monday, May 26, and most of those travelers, nearly 39.4 million, are hitting the road. While air travel and other modes of transportation like trains, buses, and cruises are also up this year, driving remains the top choice for Memorial Day travelers.

With gas prices lower than last year’s average ($3.59 per gallon), road trips are more appealing than ever. In fact, 87% of travelers will be driving to their destinations, making traffic jams and congested highways all but guaranteed.
