Christmas at DL ... but not at Christmas!!!

[Jaina]

Loving the tips in this thread!

1. Nov 11th
2. About Dec 16
3. Nov 29- Dec 1, or Dec 5-8
4. EVERYTHING!! Decor, Jingle Cruise, Viva Navidad, Santa in Elias and Company, all the food....

We are going November 28th-Dec 1st this year! Yay! (We've never been during Christmas either)

We went the first week of December 2013. One day the high was 32 degrees. I'm from Canada I'm very familiar with cold... this was cold! My sister talked to a women from Arizona in the gift shop one morning who said these were the coldest temps she'd ever experienced in her life (bless her heart) if you're dressed for the weather it's fine but we did not bring heavy enough jackets.

32º fahrenheit, or celcius? We've lived in Iowa, but are currently from Arizona, and I didn't know it even got that cold (if it's ºF) in southern California! I'm definitely going to keep my eye on the weather, but heavy coats (if we even have one for everyone) would kill our matching outfits thing... I did get the kids matching Monsters, Inc jackets, but they're not heavy. I think I will start adding long-sleeved shirts (to be layered under the short sleeves we are planning) to my prep...

That was Fahrenheit. 32 Celsius is actually about 90 Fahrenheit so that would have been very warm.

Except I see that the record -low- in December (according to weather.com?) was 32ºF, so hopefully the high was higher than that! I was just scared for a minute! I know it might be colder than usual, but I didn't think it usually got that cold. Of course we had a 99º day in February when we went in 2013, and they say the record high for February is 94º, so that site might not be completely accurate...

We're going Dec 3-7 too and have never been during Christmas. I am SO excited.

Although the weather sounds like my suitcase is going to be full of a random mix. I would prefer warmer - we are okay if it's sweatshirt weather, but I really hope its not too cold.

In Feb 2015 we were in WDW and it was colder one evening there than it was at home (Calgary, Canada). We had a hoodie, jacket, mitts and were still cold. Photopass pics have cold red noses!

Disneyland at Christmas time is seriously the best thing ever.

Wow, it's an Alberta reunion lol, we are from Medicine Hat!

This is our first time going in November (5-11), we've only been end of September-beginning of October before. Looking at the average forecast, I'm struggling with what to pack. Obviously a hoodie/ sweater for nights but anyone in tank top and shorts during the day? Or is it more tshirt and jeans?
