We were there during TDay 05 and the weather was just marvelous!! Daily highs averaged in the Mid to high 70's everday. Coolish in the AM but warmed up during the day. Definetly shorts weather during the day. The pools are heated so we did swim, the air is quite dry that time of the year so you to get tha chill when exiting the pool but that wears off quickly. Went to TL one day and it was also heated and great.

Night time it was brisk! Sweaters, lite jackets and sweatshirts are in order. One night it got cold (mid 40's) when we went to Osborne Family Lights which was perfect for the atmosphere!

Have fun you will really enjoy it!

I hope more people will chime in here. I'm really interested to hear the weather stories for this time of year.

I was there for Thanksgiving the last 2 years, and had great weather both times, daytime temps should be in the mid 70s, evenings can get pretty cool. If you do the parks at night definitely bring a sweater or jacket, I didn't once and had to buy a hooded sweatshirt I was so cold. It's definetly swimming weather during the day, we did TL Thanksgiving Day and it was plenty warm.
I checked back at the pictures taken both years and everyone was in shorts and shortsleeves during the day. Even have a few of the kids in the pool at night. Usually all or most of the Xmas decorations are up, don't miss the Osborne festival of lights at MGM, it's awesome.
I feel if you can't enjoy WDW this time of year you probably never can.

We'll be there for our third time again this year, and are probably are going to make it a family tradition.

Enjoy your trip!

We were around for tday 2002 and it was chilly. Sweatshirts and long pants at night. No waterparks and very little swimming if any for us that trip. Went back for 2003 and it was shorts all week. Waterparks and swimming was great. This time of year is so iffy.

That's my regular time of year for Florida and I LOVE it. Warm enough for shorts during the day, cool enough for that new Mickey sweatshirt at the Fireworks! I was down a few years ago and it was in the 80's on Thanksgiving day, so it can get pretty summerlike. You can definately swim, the pools are all heated and during the afternoon sun, it's warm enough that you aren't chilly when you get out.
I usually bring one pair of jeans, a jacket and the rest shorts and T's. I don't normally do sandals, because of the cool mornings and evenings.

Pack for everything. We have gone years where we never put on shorts or a T-shirt. Other years it was just right and others it was warm.

We have gone from shorts and T-shirts during the day to sweatshirts and wanting gloves at night.

So pack a little bit of everything.
