Ok, I live here and this past May was a rare and I state again, RARE May with lower humidity and milder temps. Usually May is hot enough that I have my central air on already. (any other FL people care to agree with me?) This past May was lovely. Depending where you are coming from, it may seem hotter to you than you are expecting based on the posts I just read. I live about an hour and a half due west of WDW and while May is really summer here, there is generally a large difference in the beginning of May to the end of May. Beginning of May the humidity is lower but it can be humid. End of May it's summer. Crowds are ok. Not summer time but not spring break either. I just don't want you to expect lovely "spring" weather here anytime in May. It's a transitional month yes with lower humidity but it's still hot.

South FLA and I agree. It is not the type of "spring" you'd expect but it is a really nice time to be in the parks. It take my DD for her birthday on 5/15 every year and so far it's been a great time to go. 62 Days, yay!!!

So would shorts or capris be more appropriate? It's hard to pack. In Michigan our May can go from cool to hot...

I think you'll want shorts. Especially coming from MI where it will likely still be cool. fL will seem very hot.

I've been going to WDW every year for my birthday 5/6 since 2006 and while some years are quite nice-last year was perfect-I've had many years where it's been very hot-high 90s. I have the heat of May is more of a "shock" to my MAssachusetts body than our August trips when it is also hot at home.

In all my May trips I only remember one night when I wore pants to the park at night. I wear jeans on the plane but pack all shorts.
