Weather in December

[spyslick1]

I'm going to Disney for the week of Christmas and was wondering how the weather is usually in December. Is it cold when the sun comes down? should I take a light spring jacket? what kind of clothes should I be packing?

It can be cool too cold, or warm too cool. I would check a ten day forecast before you leave and that should help. I would at least have a light coat that could double as a rain/wind jacket. I've been in December when its in the 40's and also when it's almost 80, so every year can be different.

We were there in November once and the temps receded into the low 40s, not something we were expecting and were unprepared. I suggest bringing some cloths for cooler weather, just in case.

Its so up in the air. When I went over New Years (about 10 years ago) it was hot and I swam most days. But I have also seen it cold there so just check out the forecast about 7-10 days before you leave. It's an awesome time to visit the parks!

Itis Florida so it is an absolute crap shoot.

It typically is comfortable during the day, but can get cold at night.

The best thing to do is check the forecast the day before you leave and pack accordingly.

It's typically moderate to warm during the day. Short sleeves are usually okay. If you stay in a park into the evening, take a light jacket that you can put on.

This is a good resource to check historical high/low temps and rain amounts in Orlando: https://www.wunderground.com/calendar/us/fl/orlando/KORL/date/2017-12

We went the first week of December 2017 and the weather was amazing. Warm during the days and cooler (but not cold) at night. Your mileage may vary.

I'd take a light jacket, long sleeve shirt and long pants, just in case. I've visited in November when it was shorts weather and when it's been in the 40s at night.

Many a Christmas I've had to turn on the A/C - I live in North Florida

We've had Christmas trips with heavier coats at one point in the trip then shorts/short sleeves at different parts. Bring clothes to layer and you can take off and put in backpack, etc.
