Is it cold at WDW this week?

[Ksp]

I've been keeping track of the weather in Orlando; seems to be getting progressively colder - with a windchill prediction tonight/tomorrow a.m. of 20 degrees.
Anybody down there right now? I plan to pack lots of layered clothing, but I'm hoping that there's this special warm, slighly humid weather just for WDW - any hope of that?

Saturday was very warm...Friday slightly less so. The rest of last week we needed long sleeves and often coats too. This week is supposed to be colder...but you could get a warm day or two. Have fun and good luck!

Thanks, Leslie! Glad you had a good time, too!

Since it was 15 below with the wind chill this morning where we live, the "Flordia cold" sure sounds good to me right now.

It is in the the mid 40's today. But we are supposed to have this major cold front come thru tonight. So I would come prepared for cold. But it might not feel as cold to you. Layers are wonderful, you can always take some off and be comfortable.

Enjoy our wonderful Florida Weather.....

It is currently 11 degrees here in Philly......40 degrees does not sound bad!

Today (monday) it was suppose to get up to almost 50, but I'm not sure if it ever made it.

It's now 11:00 pm and the temperature is 41 degrees. There are freeze warnings out for tonight. We noticed that WDW has covered many of the shrubs/plantings with tarps so they won't get directly exposed to the cold air.

We noticed if you're in the sunshine and the wind isn't blowing, it's quite pleasant. Step into the shadows, or if the wind blows even a little, it can get cold.

Didn't see anybody wearing shorts today, and everybody is wearing about medium grade jackets or higher (You can definitely pick out the locals with their heavy parkas... ) Keep in mind the temperature can swing pretty quickly in Florida. The sun can make a big difference during the day, but once it sets, brrrrr.

EDIT UPDATE (Tuesday 12/21): Weather improved considerably today....got well into the 60's. Latest forecasts are high 60's/low 70's on Wed, 79 degrees on Thursday, then cooling again, mid 60's on Friday and Saturday, 50's on Sunday.
