I'm going with cold!
I would bring layers: light coats, hoodies, long sleeve shirts, light scarves, jeans, etc etc.

At least thats what I'm packing for my trip on Thursday

~edit~ They do heat the pools but I would be careful I was watching the weather channel today and they are calling for some crazy and chilly weather!

Bring a little of everything! We never know how it's going to be here in Florida - especially this time of year. It's going to be wet and chilly. :dazzle:

We were there in December during the cold snap and people were still swimming in the pools at Pop. Even at 30 degrees outside!

I guess it all depends on your tolerance level. They all said it was great in the pool, but once they got out........ brrrrrr.

If it is going to be cold at all (40's or 30's) be sure to pack a hat and gloves - maybe 2 of each in case you lose one in the parks. Don't want to spend your money on a $16 hat and $8 gloves when you can get each item at Wal Mart for less than $2. (Unless you want a mickey hat. ) I never wear a hat at home, but when I'm outside all day, I needed a hat.

Have a great trip!

As of now the forecast for the next 7-days looks pretty stable, with some swimming weather included. Unfortunately there's been a lot of variability lately. In just the last week there's been some beautiful weather suitable for swimming, immediately adjacent to days that would be jacket or at least sweat-shirt weather. You really have to plan for anything this time of year.

They were swimming in the pool at AS-Sports a couple of weeks go too. Mostly teenagers. They can take anything.

I agree with bringing layers. When I was there over the holidays and the weather got down to the high 20's and low 30's, I had a fall jacket, hoodie, sweatshirt and t-shirt and it wasn't enough to keep me comfortable at the parks. I could go from Point A to Point B without a problem but spending extended periods of time outside was very tough.

I definitely had to cut down on the amount of time I spent in the parks.

I have just got back from WDW and being a Brit it felt rather warm! (like a british summer day). However there was one very cool spell.
I would pack coats (just incase, you never know!), jumpers.. but also shorts and swim stuff.
We managed to use the pool quite a few times and the water parks are great at this time of the year (no queue!), plus all the water is heated.
Have a good trip!
