So, the plan was to get up early....

[jsmla]

I planned on catching an Uber from Pop at 6:30 this morning, checking in early at the Hard Rock and making EE at IOA.

It's looking more like a late morning for me, brrrrrrrr!

 

[tlinus]

Go check in anyway!!! You may luck out and get right in a room

I'm staying pot until it hits 50!

Go! It'll be lovely and empty! That was our weather last year.

I would rather be having hot butterbeer with a new scarf from wizarding world than hanging around pop.

Our first purchases were wool Gryffindor and Ravenclaw hats.

I'm here now and it's lovely! I'm from south Louisiana and don't do cold!

I left around 10:00 and was in the park by 11:00. 11:00 AM, you know, a time of day when it's not glacial for a NOLA girl to be out and about. I'm afraid there's no attraction entrancing enough to render 38 degrees palatable.

Crowds are non-existant and I have unlimited Express. It's all good

OUr first Orlando trip was December 2010. One early entrance day it was 28 degrees. My son insisted on riding Hippogriff 14 times in a row. I was nearly frozen when we got off the last time (as I finally saw the sign saying that kids 48" and up can ride ALONE). Those pretty House scavres that seemed like a ripoff at $30 the day or so before suddenly became the Must Have. 3 scarves plus tax, $100 just like that, done.

I strongly recommend not going during the winter in the future. We've been there several times now when it's that temperature or colder (see story above).

Did you do any of the water rides?!

 

[jsmla]

Okay, full disclosure:

I have an AP and this is my third trip on this ticket. I go to Orlando (mostly WDW) every year at this time. I am fully aware of the chance of colder weather at this time and only meant to make a funny about the cooler temps.

I only ride water rides if it's over 80 but seriously don't plan a trip around them-rode the heck out of Popeye and Dudley last September and am fine with that.
