Christmas Weather

[goofy!]

Hi Everybody,

I need the sage advice of the wonderful locals on this board.

We just took advantage of the 'buy 3 nights/get 1 free' AP rates to plan an impromptu surprise Christmas visit for our kids. Ok, Ok, let the truth be known, I am using the "let's surprise the kids" as an excuse to come down just so I can ride Mummy again. And at $129.00 a night plus a night free, I just couldn't pass it up! And I got to get my money's worth out of these APs.

Now, I know exactly what to pack for our annual trips in August - Misters and all other assorted tools to beat the heat and humidity. But what do I need to pack for December (RPR 12/19 - 12/24)? I understand the weather can be variable - but do I need shorts, long pants, sweaters or tank tops or a combination of all? I've heard from well-meaning friends of vacations in the 40's, yet pictures I see of Grinchmas have the people in shorts and tank tops?

Help!!!
Goofy!

Our lovely winter days can be anywhere from the 40's to the 80's. I'd be sure to bring a little of everything. A "typical" day in December would call for jeans and a light t-shirt/long sleeved shirt while the sun is out with a jacket for the morning and late afternooons or while the sun is hiding.

Have fun!

Central Florida is impossible to predict in December. It all depends whether or not a cold front is coming through.

The best advice I can give is to pack in layers, just like handling the cold up north. Bring shorts, if its a nice day you'll kick yourself for not having them.

Pack a light jacket or a sweatshirt. You probably won't need anything heavier than a jacket, but your idea that you should plan on weather between 40 and 80 is just about right.

Thanks!!

Sounds a bit like winter here in Colorado. We can have 2 ft of snow one day and 70 degrees the next.

I will pack a bit of everything. Keeping our fingers crossed for the closer to 80 degrees than the 40 degrees!

Thanks again!!
