Weather in December??

[MagikMom]

Hi guys,
We will be at Universal for the first time from 12/15-12/18. We have never been to Florida in December before. What should I pack for clothes? Should I even bother bringing a bathing suit? Any info appreciated!

When we've gone during December, the highs are around 70 and evenings/mornings are about 55 or so. We personally fine it too chilly to swim. We don't wear shorts because fo the cool times of the day. We do dress in layers and bring along hoodies/pullovers. I hope this helps. Have fun!!!

Hotel pools are heated, so you don't have to worry there.

FL weather in Dec is very fickle. Generally, the 70/55 as mentioned by friendnc is fairly accurate. There are times when the low can get down to the 40s. And when it gets cold in FL, it's the kind of cold that goes straight to the bone.

We've been the past two Decembers, both times from the 15-25th. Last year, the weather was beautiful; high 70's or low 80's. We swam every day, wore shorts every day, never needed pants or a jacket. We spent a lot of time at the pool. The year before, we still swam every day, but it was not quite as nice; I wore capri's rather than shorts, and we wore sweatshirts or light jackets at night. This year, I'm bringing swimsuits again and hoping for 80's.

Oh I hope this year is like your last two Skiingwife.
I would love to go back home with some color. (nebraska is cold and white in December).

Since we swim in our own pool when the water temps are in the high 60's; you can bet we're in the heated pools in Orlando when we visit in the winter . Rather interesting @ night, the steam rising from the pools

1st week of Dec. '05, got so cold we were wearing our mid-weight winter coats & gloves (MVMCP - thank goodness for the hot chocolate).
Whatever, it sure beats snow & the northern freeze
