Disney in December

[NorthernON_MOM]

We are looking at possibly doing a Land/Sea Disney Package in December of 2005 and are wondering what the weather is like @ that time. What special things does disney do leading up to Christmas? thanks

My family and I did a land/sea package (with extra nights added onto the land portion that was before the cruise) over Christmas 2000.

One hint: bring a sweatshirt and a pair of light gloves.

It might be our bad luck, I don't know, but it actually snowed in florida when we were there. And here was me with one pair of jeans and everything else was t-shirts and shorts. "BUt you're Canadian, you should be used to the cold"... sure, when I have clothes for cold weather!!!

Another hint, avoid using the word tuque in WDW. I told a castmember that I liked his tuque, and spent the next ten minutes repeating the word for him and some other castmembers (now that brother bear is out, I can say, it sounds like the moose's name, just spelt differently).

We had a wonderful time over christmas (despite the chilliness) with the wonderful decorations. We didn't end up visiting many of the special events they had on, but just seeing the lights and the tress and the singing archways was absolutely amazing.

Hope this helps

We were there in December and had a great time! I do wish it had been a little warmer than it was ... Most days it averaged 15C, the first day we were there it was about 23C but that was the only day Definitely bring a hat and gloves ... you never know. Some nights it got down to about 10C and when it's windy it feels much cooler. I guess I can't complain too much, it was bright and sunny most days and warmer than it was in Toronto.

If you go in December, definitely check out the resorts for their Christmas decorations! The GF has a life size gingerbread house and a giant tree! The Boardwalk had a really gorgeous miniature village made of chocolate! It had lights and Mickey and Minnie riding on a roller coaster! It was too cute Also make sure you go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! They have a special parade and you can get your picture taken with Santa Plus all of the rides are a walk on!
