Tell me about December

[Chip28]

Hi all

Off to Orlando at the very end of Nov into December. Only ever been in October and May before. I’ve got some questions about going this time of year if anyone can help out!

1. What are the temps like? I know it’s changeable but overall what’s it like coming from the UK?

2. What will crowds look like roughly? Crowd calendars are saying mid crowds but I’ve heard it’s very low after thanksgiving.

We’re actually flying in on thanksgiving and plan to uber to our hotel. Anyone know if we’ll be waiting ages for one or paying out more than usual due to the holiday?

Any other advice welcome! Thank you Dibbers

We went last year, we flew on the Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and stayed for 12 or 13 nights.

Temperatures were very nice, definitely plenty of shorts and T-shirts weather. But best to check the forecasts before you go, in case there are any unusual weather fronts coming in.

I would say that the parks were pretty quiet for four or five days immediately after Thanksgiving, but after that I would say “medium” is a fair description. I don’t think I would ever say very low, not sure that ever happens at WDW anymore.

Thank you! That’s good to hear re weather. I think I’m just going to have to pack for all temps. Yes I suppose very low crowds would be a miracle now haha!

I went in 2021 end of November and first 10 days of December.

Not sure if this is usual but it was very warm every single day with average day temps of 28/29 and even the low at night was only 17/18.

Was sunny every single day except one afternoon which was slighty cloudy and we didn’t see a drop of rain.

I was there over Thanksgiving last year and wore shorts the entire time. The only time I regretted it was sitting through Fantasmic one night, it got quite cold but the rest of the time fine. Took a hoodie out a few nights but that was more about having pockets. All depends what you're used to/comfortable with. I massively overpacked for it being colder and didnt wear half the stuff.

We've been there over thanksgiving and the 1st week of Dec a couple of years ago. The weather was shorts/t-shirts after midday, we found you needed a jumper in the morning. In the evenings it felt a lot colder, jeans and a hoody, DH stayed strong with shorts as a true northerner.

Crowds around thanksgiving were v.busy but the 1st week in Dec saw the crowds drop off to an averge day, deffiently not quiet as Mickeys Very Merry Parties started.
