Disney in December

[nefritz]

I have been to the world four other times in my life, all as a minor or with new husband. Every time was also in summer.
This time we are going in December and with four kids!
So what might I be forgetting that would be different from summer to winter??? Do we still need ponchos?
Thanks

I pay very close attention to the 10-day weather forecast because December weather in Florida can be all over the place! Our trip is calling for highs in the mid 70's and lows in the mid 50's. For me personally this means capris and short sleeve shirts with one light jacket; for DH it means a couple sweatshirts because he runs colder. I still throw in a rain poncho for us tho. For us it's like stepping from solid winter into early summer weather and really beautiful. so far our December trips have been very warm weather, really more comfortable than our usual july disney trips. We're happy to have warm temps again so our packing can be light--saves us money now that the baggage fees and restrictions are so high.we will only need one checked suitcase along with an individual under-seat carryon

Ponchos yes. Not a bad idea to have handy just in case. In fact this weekend is predicted to be rainy. Never know when a rain shower will start. Depending on when you come and how cold the night temps get a sweatshirt and jacket or a heavy jacket to bring to the parks with you.

Thank you

I'll run out to get ponchos tonight! I started packing and packing an assortment of shorts, skirts and a couple pairs jeans.

Thank you again!!
