Disney in December

[scraplady]

DH and I are going to Disney Dec 8th to the 16th. I have been mannnnnny times and this will be his very first time. He turned 50 last Dec. and I am turning 50 this December. Ihave heard they have a sleigh ride. I am wondering if anyone can tell me about it and are there any photos anywhere.
Thanks for the help.

I'm going the exact same dates as you. I don't know much about the sleigh rides though. Hopefully, someone else can help.

I see you live in Florida. I live in New York. What is the weather like there in Dec. I am trying to figure out what to pack.

Hi scraplady!
I will be going the wkd of 12/9 too! I have a Wishes cruise booked so I hope the weather cooperates. I had originally thought of the sleigh ride, sounds great and very cozy. Here is some info: btw...I also read that you can get holiday music pipe in, they provide blankets (I think) and you can bring hot chocolate for your ride.....

We'll be there December 7 - 14. This is our second December trip and I can tell you the weather in FL this time of year is all over the board. You can go from a high in the 70's to low's in the 40's. One day we were there and the wind chill was 23 degrees! My best advice is to dress in layers and add and subtract as necessary.

The weather in December can be warm during the day, but freezing at night. Its already been cold a few days. Pack for warm or cold weather. Believe it or not scraplady, I'm actually from NY. I just moved down to Florida 3 years ago. Its a small world after all.

Freezing aka 53 degrees for all of us northern types. So maybe "cool", but certainly not freezing

How are the crowds during that time of year (mid December)?
