Me and my girlfriend are going over for 2 weeks from the 30th November can anyone give an idea of the sort of weather to expect?
Thanks

| Most of the time it should be great - ideal for an active holiday visiting everywhere, however, it is possible to have a cold front going through and it will then be cooler for a couple of days, particularly in the evenings. We wer out the same time last year and had a great time but did need warmer clothes for 3 days. There is much less rain at that time of the year, which is another bonus.
Have fun

| The highest temperature during the day(normally mid-afternoon) is on average 72F the lowest at night(average) is 53F
However the hottest December day reached 90F and the coldest night was 20F
As it tends to be very sunny, high 60's/low 70s is really nice during the day; but most will want a sweater in the evenings - and sometimes(not often) a thick coat! |

| You really can't predict it.
One year i was in Disney all day at christmas in just T shirt and shorts and its was just right, then the next year it was freezing.
So much so that in Epcot no one went round the lake at night until the fireworks actuallt started going off.
It was weird seeing loads of people just dossing down in shops everywhere until the fireworks started, trying to keep warm.
The true answer is, it could be anything, really hot or freezing (tracky bottoms & sweat top). |

| This is the best time to go, just after thanksgiving and before the christmas crowds. The parks aren't very busy but you get to see all the christmas decorations and shows etc. We have been at this time of year several times, one holiday we had 2 weeks of sunshine and no rain, another time we had a few cool days and 1 day of showers.

I remember being in Disney one or two years when it was really cold at Christmas....year before last I think... we were there and it was warmer back in MA....but for the most part...I find it does not get that cold until Jan Feb time...and then its not for long...a day or so...I love FL in the winter.... | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

I think our mind is set for next Winter too. Some good bargains about too. We were there in September and it rained every day except our wedding day on the 13th!!
We went to Tampa for the American football too and were drenched to the skin. We ended up going home and leaving our wet behinds imprinted in the car seats we were so soaked. Didnt dampen the day though. The crowd were fantastic, will definatley go back. I have hopefully attached a few pics from the footie in September. These were taken in between downpoars!!! November sounds like a good bet.

| The first I managed to get my husband to go to Florida we went last 2 weeks in January and it was cold. I'd taken all the wrong clothes so we had to book a trip to Belz Mall to stock up on warmer ones.
We went back the following year for the first 2 weeks, packed same clothes but I was still able to wear shorts when watching the parades at 12pm.
Years later we went back for the same 2 weeks and the windscreen iced up overnight. I was walking round Disney wearing the very fashionable mickey mouse knitted hat and gloves.
Best advice is to wear thin layers of clothes, the mornings will be cool but once the sun is out it will quickly warm up.
Also if the sky starts getting really black head for a sheltered area, I got caught out in Epcot and tried sheltering under the monorail. I was drenched through and had to buy a sweatshirt. Always a good idea to have a change of clothes in car boot plus a towel for emergencies.
Last week we were in Seaworld, husband and nephew went on Kraken and then Atlantis. They were in front row, the first water shute was fine but they got drenched on the little one further round. We had nothing with us so we went home.
