I normally head to WDW in early Dec every year...at least for the past 7 years and going again this Dec. I have to tell you...last Dec was a nightmare. I'm from central Mass..it gets cold here and I have no problem with the cold. But, last Dec, there was only one day, in the entire week, that I was able to go with jeans and a short sleeved shirt. Otherwise, it was jeans, shirt, sweatshirt and a flannel lined windbreaker, and sneakers and socks!!! I was at US/IoA early one morning...riding Dragon Challenge. I thought my face was going to fall off..it was that cold!!
I can't figure it out, but 45 is much colder in Florida than it is in Mass!!! And when it went down to the high 30's???? OMG!! You should see the CMs all bundled up. Hats, scarves covering their faces, mittens and heavy coats...just like we would wear when it gets down to below 0!!
So, be prepared for the worst and bring appropriate clothing. That one day I was able to wear just the tee shirt??? Lasted all of 3 hrs before the sweatshirt went back on.
And since I was there the preceeding August, and they were in the midst of a heat wave????
I think it's just me..it's either going to bone chilling cold or blood boiling hot!!![/QUOTE]
So it's it's "just you" do me a favor and don't go 9/16-9/21 or 12/3-12/12 as we'll be there & I'd prefer moderate temps rather than extremes lol
We were in WDW for the week of NYE 2011 and while we had a blast (yes it was insanely crowded) it was freezing! I know what you mean about temps being colder there than at home. one of the days we were there, we went to animal kingdom, and they had those workshop type "tube" heaters facing into the oasis all around it to try & save the plants.. they had already moved all (or most) of the widlife to shelter.. most of the week we were there it was in the mid 30's... brrrr.... but a cold day in WDW is better than a cold day anywhere else... just be prepared!
