Due to lots of scheduling conflicts we are finally going to try and squeeze a trip in for mid November. How is the weather then? I'm afraid it may be too cold and rainy and a waste of time and money. Maybe we should just wait until next June?
 
Mid November is beautiful. It can be lower temps at night but during the day the weather is just perfect. Avg temps are 78-53, comfortable weather. By mid nov/dec rainy season is passed not to say it can't rain though. Prices are lower along with crowds up until the weekend before thanksgiving. Hope this helps :)

FYI if you do enjoy time at the waterparks a June trip is more reasonable. But if that's not a big deal then I would definitely do nov it's beautiful and the Christmas decorations are up and going up all through the month.
 
Thanks! That sounds great and I don't mind wearing jeans and a sweater (i'm a cold person). Neither DH or I used the pools or water parks
 
Be aware that cold fronts can come through. We went one time in mid November, the first couple of days were in the high 70's but in the afternoon of the second day a storm came through and it was only highs in the 60's the rest of the trip and got cold at night. We were not prepared, had to buy sweatshirts.
 

We went in mid November and thought it was perfect touring weather...even got in the pool one or two days...Nights were cooler with pants and sweatshirts needed. I guess it's one of those times of year where you check weather before you go and be ready with layers! Have fun!
 
Great time to go. Warm but not hot during the day and sometimes cool at night. I didn't pack any jackets for my trip in November 2010 (we go in the summer annually, have only been once in November) and ended up buying a pullover sweat shirt in the park to wear each evening. I did need long sleeves during the day, but both of my sons wore short sleeves and shorts.
 
Statisically, November has the least amount of rain out of any month in Orlando. The monthly average is very low. That being said, it DID rain about half the time during our last trip which was the week before Thanksgiving. I'm thinking it was just a fluke. But the downside is that when it does rain, it's a steady long-lasting rain, and not the pop-up quick thunderstorm you see in the summer. The humidity is lower in November.

Otherwise, we wore hoodies at night and were comfortable (not sweaty) in short sleeves during the day. Finding pool time was a challenge between the overcast and cooler temps, but we did manage to get one full morning in at the pool. We're going the same week this year.

Due to an enormous aversion to humidity and crowds, we never go any other time than November and December. It can be cooler (2010, brrrr) but mostly we have been comfortable in shorts and t-shirts and the low crowds can't be beat. Last year we were there in December and it was unseasonably warm - mid to high 80's for most of the week. We are heading back Nov 15th again this year for 9 days.
 
This is what I want to hear! Our last trip was in late September/early October 2011 and it was HOT! Felt like we were walking on the surface of the sun. I couldn't deal with that again plus we wanted to see some Christmas stuff so we picked November this time. Ideally I am looking for 75-80, still warm but not hot. I am still nervous about packing. I plan on taking some pants and sweatshirts. I guess if I don't have enough I will just have to suck it up and pay for stuff in the parks.
 
Its the perfect time to go as far as the weather ! Our annual Thanksgiving trip is our fave of the year---- weather is perfect !!!
 
Yay! Ordered our first ever AP. November just DH and I and June with grandkids. Already linked to MDE too. FP+ has me worried because it seems stressful to be so regimented, but my plan is to have Nov trip used to work out the bugs in preparation of June. ;-)

Never been in November (but going this year), but I've been there many times in the first week of December and it's normally lovely. We did have one year where it was only in the 30's for the last 2 days of our trip. Not great, but the mornings were completely dead at the parks and we walked on everything from open until around 11 when it started to warm up a little. Looking forward to this November!
