When is it too late for the BEACH?

[StuckInKS]

We cancelled our upcoming trip (still in siggie, can't bear to take it off) and are trying like crazy to rebook. We do plan on going sometime in March-May of next year, but would like to go again before then. We only got back 3 months ago and it had been a L O N G 3 months. I can't imagine waiting another 6 to 8 months. I also want to take advantage of FD, as eating at a TS everyday and taking my kids to CRT is not somthing we could normally do on our trip (Tutto alone cost us $150 last trip ) So, now that they sent us a PIN for regular Free Dining (not just QSDP) to rebook a value, I am trying to decide when the best time is to go.

We cannot go to FL without going to the beach, as that is just as important as Disney for us. We the . However, I am not familiar with fall/winter FL weather and need to know how late is usually too late to enjoy the beach. My kids get cold very easily, so it needs to be fairly warm in order for them to go from water to sand without being cold. I would say at least 80 degrees. I know it probably varies from year to year, but on average ... how late is too late? I was thinking probably no later than Halloween, but I would LOVE to see Disney decorated for Christmas.

Any thoughts?

For me, October is about it, and you can see from the chart how the temperature drops so in November. We go to the Keys late in March every year and cannot tolerate the chilly water. I guess you just need to look at the water temperatures and decide for yourself, but remember the air temperatures can be cool then, too.

Thanks, I was wondering about this too for our Dec. trip. If we do go to a beach, I guess we will not be going in the water!
