We were there last year 12/28-1/03. If was cool in am 70's during the day(shorts or long pants and short sleeves, night jacket and long pants. Perfect touring weather. DS did swim at OKW but adults did not. We'll be there this year same time.

It was also very rainy. Christmas Eve was a downpour. Got cold on Christmas Day. But the pools are heated.

Check out the weather forcast before you go. I didn't do that New Years of 2002 should have. It was cold all week 1-1-02 to 1-7-02. Luckily we had driven down from the north so we had winter coats with us. We had to scrape ice off the windshield when we left on the 7th. We heard the weather last year was great so you can never tell from one year to the next.

You never can tell what the Florida weather will be like in Dec, particularly around Christmas. When my family went in 1983, it was 25 degrees on Christmas day. Other times it was in the 70s. It is unpredictable so check the advanced weather forecast before you go.

Last year the weather was great (mid to upper
70's and dry) until about 8pm NYE. Then the
heavens opened and even in ponchos we got
DRENCHED! Thank goodness we had sports
sandals on as the water on the World
Showcase Promenade was above our ankles.
We've had everything from 80's (1998/99) to
coooold 26deg Jan 1 (2000/2001).
Watch the weather and be flexible!!
Most years we've been able to swim at least
a couple of days between Christmas and New
Year's.
We're going down 12/28-1/4 so's we'll be
able to see for ourselves this year!

have fun!

Oh yeah! I even have pictures .

We almost always swim that week, at least a couple of times. My young daughter is a *fish*. The weather is really unpredictable. It can vary from 35 degrees to 80. we stay for 2 weeks so we pack for 4 seasons: warm, cool, cold and wet. Last NYE was wet, but the previous one was very cold.

And yes, John, I know you'll get me back later .

OK ... in all fairness I shoud post this picture too. I'm in the middle.
