Unfortunately you should prepare for variety. Often the days are into the mid 70's, possibly low 80's with the envenings tending to cool off. Can have a stretch of days in the 60's however. Also may be rainy...I know this is Fla, but usually Oct and Nov are dry and rain (cold damp days) are not uncommon...but later in Dec. into January more so.

So bring shorts, sweatshirts, long pants. You can pick the Floridians out as they have gloves, hats and heavy coats...

I'll be down that week as well. It's a great time to visit!

Early December at WDW

Have gone in December (between 1st and 15th) on a regular basis.
Bring clothing to cover all occassions - have worn warm clothing in the evenings (especially waiting for the fireworks at Epcot). Have worn shorts daily on most occassions. If you go on the rapids at AK, you may find it rather cool - bring a change of clothes. :hammer: Only once have I come off that ride and enjoyed being wet walking around - a rare very warm day.
Be prepared for temps ranging from low 40's to 80's - have had them all.
One of the very best times to visit WDW - gets you into the Christmas Season in a big way.:xmas:

:wave:We'll be there from Dec 1st through Dec 9th and this is our third consecutive year going during that time frame. Weather can vary, so the other posts are right on when they say be prepared for anything. Mornings and late evenings tend to be a little on the chilly side, with temps around 40-50 degrees. We had only one day last year that involved some light rain, but at WDW that's really no big deal since there are many things to see & do indoors and light rain doesn't interfere with rides running, so you'll most likely get through more rides in a shorter period of time because many will leave the parks if it rains! :sohappy: Day temps were usually anywhere between low 70's to low 80's - we wore shorts most days. It's true - FL residents can always spot the tourists from the north, because we're all wearing shorts when they're wearing jeans & light jackets when it's 70 degrees!:lol:

What is the weather generally like when you go rain wise? I'm going down on Thursday and it shows scattered showers and isolated T-storms most of the days I will be there which really depresses me because when I was there last May it rained 5 full days out of the 8 I was there. I don't care what the temp is as long as it's dry!

Occasional rain but never for a full day - maybe an hour or so then clears up.
