Re: December 2017 at WDW
Yep, real cold, but rarely! We've also been in shorts and Hawaiian shirts! It's usally somewhere between! Cool in the mornings, warmer during the day and cooling in the evening.
These were from 2010! Probably the same cold spell that Amy and Mom encountered!

Haha, yup, you look a bit chilly there. But happy, because you're at WDW!

Re: December 2017 at WDW
Amy don't be down on yourself. We don't think about temperature scales. I was doing an energy audit the other day and said to the kids that we will use the Fahrenheit scale because that's what HVAC specialists use. Otherwise, we'd call them and say how hot it is indoors, something is wrong, it's 35 degrees!
I think I thought it was funnier than the kids did.
January 2010 was pretty cold, too. We were at WDW near the end of the month, and just a couple weeks prior it had been very cold (for Florida) and much of the foliage on trees and other plants was dead.

Re: December 2017 at WDW
As we will be leaving our house at around 6:30 am for the airport on an English December morning then I am sure we will be wearing woolly jumpers and coats. If we pack the hat & gloves just in case then we should be fine. I suppose like all trips if we check the weather forecast before we go we can pack accordingly. I guess unlike here the weather doesn't change quite so dramatically.
But maybe we won't get that late night swim like we did last time

Re: December 2017 at WDW
The way the weather patterns have been, I wouldn't count on that weather not changing part Hopefully it will be temperate enough for you to get a swim in while you're visiting. There is just something so fun about being able to swim outside in the winter months when you come from a cold climate!I am Sulley wrote:As we will be leaving our house at around 6:30 am for the airport on an English December morning then I am sure we will be wearing woolly jumpers and coats.

Re: December 2017 at WDW
Also, remember the pools are heated. So, the swim will be fine. The getting out part could be a bit frosty, though.

Re: December 2017 at WDW
I am certainly not a food person (fussy) so have no massive desire to try many of the different foods available at WDW. I like my food simple although my wife enjoys her food more than I do. Having said that something which has caught my eye is The Hoop-De-Do and The Spirit of Aloha. Both offer something a bit unusual with the entertainment without me having to feel that I have wasted my money on food I didn't particularly enjoy. It may be a bit much to do both.
Has anyone any experiences?

Re: December 2017 at WDW
I'm like you with food, but Figment and I did try the Hoop-Dee-Doo show several years ago and quite enjoyed it. It is a fun, high energy show and the food was pretty good as I recall. I've never been to the other show, but I've heard good things about it. It is worth reading the reviews about the Hoop-Dee-Doo seating though as it sounds like some of the cheaper seats are not very goodI am Sulley wrote:I am certainly not a food person (fussy) so have no massive desire to try many of the different foods available at WDW.

Re: December 2017 at WDW
I'm going with my family( Wife and 3 children) in summer time ( late August) so we can spend nice holiday in lovely weather. I know winter is cold so that's why you have to take clothes to keep you warm. Good luck and enjoy your trip .Live casino spel

Re: December 2017 at WDW
Have you been to Florida in August? I would rather go to Florida in January and wear every piece of clothing in my closet to stay warm (if I have to, because lately the winter months have been pretty warm) than go in August But I'm sure you'll have a lovely time because you'll be at WDW after allSuperSonic wrote:I'm going with my family( Wife and 3 children) in summer time ( late August) so we can spend nice holiday in lovely weather.

Re: December 2017 at WDW
June has almost gone and with it came the email from Walt Disney Travel Company reminding us to make our meal bookings.
We had gone away for my birthday for a long weekend so were a few days under the 180 days. That sure made a difference at such a busy time.
Although it took a bit of juggling we have got most things we wanted, but sadly we have missed out on Be Our Guest. That was fully booked by the time we got to it. Some people must be ready for that clock to tick over so they can book.
Maybe we can see if there is any space when we are there by just walking up?
Missing one thing won't spoil things. We are finding it difficult not to talk about it everyday now the meals are booked.
WDW at Christmas time. It is all so exciting

Re: December 2017 at WDW
Just keep checking every day for BOG ressies. There will almost surely be some that open up. We faced the same dilemma of everything being booked up before we went, and we were making reservations just a few months out. I just kept checking and had various times and dates open up over time. People book everything and then have to make up their minds as their trip draws nearer. You might want to consider checking with the concierge at your hotel if you aren't able to find anything before your trip. An yes, it wouldn't hurt to walk up and check. Dinner will probably be the hardest to get a walk up for I would think.I am Sulley wrote:June has almost gone and with it came the email from Walt Disney Travel Company reminding us to make our meal bookings.
