    My family & I will be traveling to the World Dec 12-18. I'm curious about the weather?? I'll be there with my husband, 8 yr old & 20 year old.

    Hi, Jenny! According to The Weather Channel, the average December high temperature is 73 degrees, and the average low is 53. December and January are among the driest months of the year in Florida. Snow is exceedingly rare at Walt Disney World, unless you count the man-made snow on Main Street U.S.A. during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom. The last time it snowed naturally at Disney World was 2006, when visitors reported spotting flurries.  To accommodate the swings in temperatures from daytime to nighttime, my family has found it best to dress in layers.  Layer up in the mornings and evenings and shed a layer during the day.  I have been there during a cold snap and wished I had my winter coat and clothes.  I have also been swimming there on New Year's Day.  You never know what the weather may hold. I know it's not much help to say be prepared for several different scenarios, but that's really what you have to do. Happy planning and have a Magical vacation!
