We go every January and love it. *most* of the time it's 70s during the day mid 60s at night. So for me jeans and a t shirt weather and a sweatshirt at night. A few years ago there was a cold snap (very rare) and it was like 40-50 all week. Just watch the weather and pack layers! We love the cooler temps and lower crowds! Enjoy!

I'd have to google it to know, but I'll guess around 72. It is usually warm, but can be hot or cold. No way to predict January weather.

Eta:
Lol, I did google it to see how close I was. Averaging both months, high is 71.75 degrees. I was pretty close with 72!!!! Yay me.

Low is about 49, average.

Again, ymmv!!!

Early February was great IMHO. 60's dring the day; chillier in the evening. Great for touring. Of course, it could be warmer.....or colder. Crowds were low. The only time we tried a January visit was quite a while back, in mid-January (for my birthday, which sometimes coincides with the MLK holiday observance). I remember it was cold enough to turn the heater on in the room and we had a day or two of rain. Crowds picked up quite a bit during the holiday weekend; otherwise they were not bad.

This past February we wore more shorts then jeans. But I've seen the time we've had on 3 sweatshirts, hats and gloves to watch the evening parades and fireworks. Prepare for both kinds of temps.

I grew up in Central Florida, about 45 minutes Northeast of Orlando, and most days that time of the year are pleasantly mild. We're talking somewhere in the range of 60-80 degrees for the highs and 45-65 for the lows. There are definitely cold snaps, though, and they tend to hit hardest in January.

Two years ago, we were in Disney early to mid January, during the marathon weekend, and it actually sleeted the night of the marathon. For a good four days, the highs never got over 50. It was gray, windy and sometimes rainy. It happens. The thing is, two days after that sleet storm, the high hit 70, and it was a beautiful, sunny day.

Best advice for a Florida vacation for that time of the year: It's mostly jeans and t-shirts, but watch the forecast all the way up to the day before you leave just so you can plan for those possible, but short-lived, drops in temperature. Otherwise, light, easy to carry layers are your friend for those chilly mornings and evenings.

We always go late January to early February, we have booked for 2013, like others have said the temps are around 60-70. The crowds have always been low when we were there with little to no wait for most attractions.
