We will see low attendance similar to when it's too hot.

Low local attendance for sure, but folks from the Northern Tundra states? That's a spring day in comparison.
Canadians will be wearing t-shirts and shorts.

whats next, an excess heat warning?
I will make one comment from first-hand experience - Walking around EPCOT Center, particular Future World and under SSE specifically, in high winds and temps in the 40’s is NOT pleasant.
Minnesotans will have on the same attire. Maybe with flip flops!

You laugh but right now it's 17 Fahrenheit in Niagara falls. So any Orlando weather is shorts weather for us right now.
My comment was more a joke as to the heat in July on why attendance was low.

I was in Disney in January 2022 during a rare “arctic blast”. It was in the 30’s & 40’s the first few days of my trip. I’m from Massachusetts so I came prepared with winter gear and even wore leggings under my jeans 
It was pretty funny to see the stores wheel out these big racks of heavy sweatshirts and fleece outerwear and then see tons of people wearing them all around the parks. It was clear many people didn’t think it would be that cold.

I've been there a few times in January when it was cold and I agree with you. This Wisconsin girl was smart enough to check the weather while packing and that hat, gloves and scarf I brought along were very much appreciated!

Weird because I've been to WDW in similar weather (low 30's and upper 40s) and never seen anyone in flip flops.

28 degrees in a humid climate is shorts weather?

Yeah when you come daily temps of 17 Fahrenheit.
