While you are asking, will there be any photography restrictions?

This one I can answer.

The only restrictions are as follows:

1. No pictures backstage (this just applies to the folks on the buses)
2. Pictures/video cannot be used in any promotional material for any commercial purpose.
3. No pictures of me

You can can take all the pictures/video you want for your own use.

Will we be able to mail things that night to get the Hogsmeade postmark?

Just read through the contract for the event again and found this:

"The Owl Post itself is a functional postal office. You can drop your postcards and letters into the post box and they'll be delivered with an authentic Hogsmead(TM) postmark. The Owl Post sells a variety of stationary, writing implements and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter(TM) stamps, as well as owl related toys and gifts."

So the anwer to your question is yes!!

YEAAAAA!!!!!

 

[mytripsandraces]

If only they would open a classroom, so we could all have desks for writing our postcards. Hey! Maybe one of us will find the Room of Requirement and we'll all be able to fit onto one desk and there will be a magic quill that will write out the cards and addresses while we ride Forbidden Journey one last time before the night is over.

John - can you get on that, please? As the podcast genius, I'm sure you'll have it sussed out in no time! I'd work on it, but I'm at Tokyo Disney and it's almost time to go stand in line again.

Thanks for all you do!

Yay! That is so awesome. That's one of those things I never want to wait in line for when I'm there!

A quick question... I've never been to FL in December, so I have no idea what the weather's like.

I did a quick Google and it said the average high is 71 and the low is 51. Does that seem about right to people?

I'm imagining I'll need a fleece or whatnot, but not a hat/scarf, etc. I might throw gloves in my bag as I get frozen hands pretty easily. Plus it'll make it easier to grip the Butterbeer.

How "bundled up" are other people planning to get?

The last two years that I have been in Disney at this exact time of year I have experienced torrential rain, 70 degree weather and 40 degree nights. I would pack a little bit of everything. I definitely spent Candlelight last year freezing in my fleece, hat scarf and gloves. Be prepared.

 

[jcb]

I agree. It can be warm and sunny one day and downright cold (relatively speaking) the next. I usually have not needed anything more than a fleece jacket, however, but there have been some years I was happy to have a heavier coat.

 

[DrMomof3]

I didn't realize there is a post office at the Owl Post! Too cool!!!! I'm excited to take advantage of that.

We were at Disney in early December 2 years ago. We had perfect weather - low 80's during the day and mid to high 60's at night. However, the day we left it started raining and the rest of the winter was quite cold in Florida. Hopefully my good weather luck with stay for this trip!

Have I mentioned that I'm excited???

The "average" means nothing! I was there Dec. 12 & 13 last year, and the temps dropped into the 30s at night. Check Weather.com just before you leave home, but cold weather wear is definitely going with me - especially since it will be cold when I leave home.

 

[stenogoddess]

Regarding the owl post, when we were there I bought the postcards and postage stamps and there was a lady outside the post office with a stamp that canceled a couple of blank pieces of paper for me to have for my scrapbook. So you might not have to actually mail anything to get the stamp.

 

[ninecrayons]

Thanks for all the advice! I learned my lesson the hard way 2 years ago when I just packed a hoodie for my February trip and it turned out to be the coldest winter ever. I actually hard to wear my NY winter coat. Brrr!

I'll never forget getting on the Jungle cruise and having the Skipper say "Welcome to the Tundra Cruise, now with Polar Bears!"

I ordered a fleece off of Old Navy (Yay for their Black Friday sales!) and I'll have my jacket with me. I'll pack my hat and gloves and all should be well.

The one thing I noticed about the weather is that when it is cooler in Orlando it seems colder because of the humidity level. Those of us up North experience the cold but the humidity level is lower. Damp and cold feels a lot colder. And watching the Candlelight Processional can be really cold because there always seems to be a breeze off the water there. I have been very happy to had to have worn my winter coat on the plane.

15 day forecast shows high of 65 for 12/9 and low in the50's. I know it will change as it gets closer but I like to drive myself crazy checking everyday anyway. Lol
