November or December trip - pros and cons?

[kanerf]

I have been doing a trip in January the last few years and usually enjoy it. The weather is mild for Florida and the Festival of the Arts is going on. I did December one year, short trip, but enjoyed it except for the crowds. January is better in that respect.

Just to add to the weather expectations-- don't do what we did and expect comfortable or even slightly cool weather in November/December. We went to WDW late Nov-early Dec 2022 and assumed we'd be in lovely comfortable 70's territory and instead were in humid as Hades upper 80's the entire two weeks. Probably not the norm, but having certain expectations temperature-wise really put a damper on things when it didn't pan out that way, haha.

yes, as many have said, weather is unpredictable in Nov-Dec. I am from the North east and am used to cold, but I have had to wear a winter coat, cap and mitts to watch fireworks during those months. I have also had times when it was warm and we wore shorts and tshirts. Watch the forecast before you go and bring clothes for almost any weather. You will likely need it!
