Bug spray in December? - The DIS Discussion Forums

la79al · 11-11-2009, 10:20 PM

Just wondering if I need to put this on the packing list. TIA

We never used it for our trip this October. I did get some bites but it was later at night when sitting outside in the POFQ courtyards, never during the day or at night either when in the parks.

I live on the coast in Texas...we too have VERY bad mesquito's too...infact we have considered making that our state bird..lol...anyway..besided after Rita and Ike we are usually fine in the winter months. However after Ike we went a whole winter with them here...they are astill here and we cant seem to get a break either!

There can be bugs in Dec., but they're not usually a problem, plus we usually dress warmer, preventing bites, plus Disney usually has less bugs than around home, so I would say no, but if your that person who gets more bites than everyone else, then I would consider it.

We don't even need the bug spray during the summer months in WDW.
I always bring it, but we've NEVER needed it.

I always bring it because I'm prone to getting bit.... so I use the stuff with SPF too....that way I keep away bugs and burns

I'm convinced there is some Disney magic going on in the mosquito repellent department.

Anywhere else I go in Florida I get literally eaten alive, any time of year. But even when it's hot at Disney....I never have a single bite!
