Coolest March Break!

[fitmom3]

I think this has been our coolest March break. The sun is brilliant but man was today chilly. We have lucked out with temps in the 80's the last couple of years.

We just got back, there was some cool evenings. I asked at the resort for a raincheck for some warm weather. They laughed!

Last week we had some hot weather but then on Tuesday the temps dropped big time, morning temps of 5 and 6 degrees. I think this added to the crowds in the parks because no one was swimming at the pools and I saw one day the water parks were closed. The crowd levels on Monday got crazy, and were still crazy when we left Thursday. I know that Florida started their spring break but Saturday and Sunday were very manageable in respect to the crowds.

Same story for us. We arrived the evening of the 7th and the weather was perfection until 13th when it cooled right down. We had planned to spend all day the 13 and 14th at the pool but only spent the 13th at the pool. We didn't swim though just never got hot enough to feel the need. Was still nice to lounge there all day though. Our last day was the 15th and man it was down right cold. Granted I got no sympathy from home as they were having the big blizzard and -20 temps. We left our room at POP around 7:45am(it was approx 7 Celsius at that time) to check out and then spend the entire day at MK before flying home that night. I kept saying 'give it an hour and it will warm up'. Nope, didn't warm up until around 2pm. We managed to get a TS lunch just to warm up a bit.

The last 3 years the weather was hot and 30 Celsius every single day of March break. We were not even supposed to be going again this year but the thought of those warm sunny days won me over. Plus my DD goes off to university in the fall and it felt like a last opportunity for the two of us to take our girls trip. I'm sort of disappointed that the weather didn't hold up for us. I do have a great story though with us trying to fly home to a blizzard and a car at the airport buried up to the windows in snow

We used to do cruises out of Port Canaveral, so always went to Orlando but the last 3 years we have gone out of Miami, and it is much warmer.

We arrived on Saturday March 11 and it was 29 till Tuesday it cooled down to 24 for the rest of the week. We had friends in Orlando and the looked cold in some of their pictures.

I actually love the heat and humidity, so I am preferring to hit WDW in the summer and somewhere warm at March Break.

I felt like a wimp being all bundled up since we're from Canada, but the wind just chilled you to the bone. I think it was 2 years ago during March break that we were still in shorts and t-shirts during Wishes.

We cruised to the Bahamas March 4-8 and it was chilly (20C). The wind was so strong they had to cancel our snorkelling excursion in Nassau and the stop at NCL private island. My kids were staying with my parents in Ft Lauderdale and it was too cold to go to the beach. Then we went to WDW March 8-11 and the weather was perfect! Sunny, 29C and no humidity!

We arrived on March 16, and i was breezy but the sun was shining and bright! we kept our light jackets on, but weren't cold. It had been grey and raining when we left Victoria, and Orlando was a few degrees warmer. The next day it was sunny and in the low to mid 20's and I was in heaven! Not hot and humid, just perfect! ( I take meds that inhibit sweating so I can't cool down.) It did get up to 30* later during our trip, but over all I think we had the best weather we'd ever had on a Disney trip.

This was our first March Break in a number of years -- in the past we have been cruising, with only a few days in the parks. DD got sick shortly after arriving, so we were stuck in the room for the weekend. Then as a PP mentioned, we headed off to MK first thing and it was 7 degrees Celsius. I wasn't prepared, and was wearing four layers of clothing! Of course, DH toughed it out and insisted on wearing shorts every day.
It warmed up by the 16th and 17th, but sadly too late for us!
But as I said to those at work, I'm not complaining -- we were shivering, but we weren't shovelling!

We have been at WDW 3 years in a row now for MB. The last two were fantastic weather. You are right...you could be outside late into the night wearing just shorts and a t-shirt and we were often.

December 2015 we went to MVMCP and wore shorts. Around 9pm or so I had to get out my sweater but it was a summer weight cardigan and that was plenty warm enough.

We were in Myrtle Beach for break and it was freezing, generally between 8 and 13 each day. Like a PP said, we weren't in snow, or shovelling but we also didn't get tans

March is generally very nice but it can be cold. However, you have to put "cold" in to perspective. The coldest day we were there was overnight low of 5 with afternoon high of 14. It was -20 back home.

The norm is around 25-26 during the day, 14-15 at night, but just like anywhere else, that can vary a lot. When we were there 2 years ago, we were still in t-shirts and shorts at night watching the fireworks. This year, late at night or very early in the morning, we could have worn a parka.

Well I guess anything us better than snow!
