Will my family need jeans or jackets November 16-24th?

[Spoisal]

We've been in May - very hot. We've been in January - mixed bag - sometimes warm, sometimes chilly. Seems like I have to pack my entire closet for January because you never know what kind of weather to expect. Not sure what to expect November 16-24th. Will we need jeans or jackets?

It's pretty much the same uncertainty in November. Sometimes fall pushes through fast, sometimes it waits until December to start to chill off--and sometimes that part of the state doesn't even get cold. Your best bet would be to pack things that you can layer, and adjust how much you're wearing when you get there. Bring the jeans.

Definately bring the jeans and jacket - even if it is warm during the day, it will probably be cool at night.

We were there for the week before Turkey Day 2004... and although we were wearing shorts or capris during the day... it was cooler at night!!! Sweatshirts and pants were great for the evening hours.

We go the week before that nearly every year. I would definitely take jeans and a jacket. We usually haven't needed them during the day, but in the evening it can get chilly, and there have been a few times when we were glad to have them even during the day. Best to be prepared.

I was there one time over Veterans Day. The first couple of days were in the 80's, a cold front came through and the rest of the time was low 60's for highs and cold at night. Had to buy sweatshirts, was not predicted to be that low.

We've been at wdw tgiving wweekend each of the last 7 years. We've experienced highs in the low 80s and lows in the high 30s. It can go either way, even the same year. In 2003, I recall a nice warm friday afternoon by the pool, and a frigid saturday night. The temp swing must have been 35-40 degrees.

Bring clothing that you can use for layers. Can always shed as the day goes on, then put back on in the evening. Last couple years, it has been warm through October. Although I remember one October where it got down in the 40's a couple evenings.

I agree with the others. LAYER! We are going 11/17-12/6 and have gone for that week (the weekend after thanksgiving over our anniversary 12/1) just about every year since 1999 (skipping 2004 and 2000). It's USUALLY in the 70's during the day and in the 50's or cooler at night. THAT SAID.... we did encounter one time when it was 85 and raining and we wished we brought more shorts (2001) and another trip when 60 was the high for the day (2003), but it had been pleasant enough to go to a water park 2 days earlier! I'm from Southern California, so I'm a "weather wimp". Layer up and listen to the forecast every morning before you get dressed.

We went the week of Thanksgiving 3 years ago. We actually brought shorts, jeans and jackets. The best thing to do is to dress in layers and as it gets warm, just start taking off layers and vice versa. One day my DH did not listen to me and wore shorts (no jacket, long pants, ect.) by 10:00am he was freezing but did not want to take the time to go back to the All Star Movies. He bought a pair of sweat pants in Epcot. The pants cost him $50.00 and they didn't even have a Mickey head on them!
