Hi and Welcome!!
That's so awesome that you get to go along with your family. That's great. Generally the weather in Florida in November is pleasant - nothing as bad as the heat and humidity of summertime.

Walt Disney World has so many fun things to do. Of course there are the 4 theme parks and the 2 water parks - but there's just so much more to do outside the parks. Downtown Disney is fun for an afternoon or evening of shopping, eating and people watching. There are lots of various sporting activites that take place at Wide World of Sports throughout the year - but I'm not sure what, if anything, might be taking place in November. THe Christmas decorations start to go up around the world in about mid-November - and there are just tons of great restaurants to enjoy. There's golf and more golf! Miniature golf, too. There are lots of water sports like catch and release bass fishing, boating or for the more exhilarating - water skiing or parasailing. There's horseback ridiing and hay rides over at Ft. Wilderness and various safari adventures at Animal Kingdom Lodge. There are also lots of special tours offered throughout the world for all kinds of interests and abilities.

Spend some time here on the DIS and on the official Disneyworld.com site to learn more about it all. There's just tons of fun to be had while at Walt Disney World. I hope your special trip is truly magical for you and your family!

Welcome Melissa!! November is a great time to visit WDW. Not only do the parks get ready for Christmas, but all the resorts do as well. The weather is mixed. During the day it is very nice, shorts weather. You might/should be able to get some swimming in if you'd like. The evenings can get cold. You will need to bring layers of clothing.

Best of luck to you. I'll pray for your health!!
