December is a truly magical month to visit Walt Disney World. The parks, hotels and shopping areas are all decked out in their festive best for Christmas and the holidays, and the smells and scents of the season are in the air.How to Dress for December Weather and the Holiday Season at Walt Disney World If you are traveling to Walt Disney World in December 2024, here is what you need to know about the weather and other factors that will affect what you should pack and wear for your vacation. December 2024 in Orlando is Shaping Up to Be a Pretty Good Weather Month December at Walt Disney World is a month that can be a little unpredictable from year to year. Last year, for example, a Jollywood Nights party at Hollywood Studios was cancelled due to rain from a tropical storm…in December. Luckily, if you’re traveling to Walt Disney World in December 2024, things are looking pretty good over the long term. This is the continuation of a warm trend that we have seen for several months now. Special events at Disney World in December will impact your vacation in a most magical manner. From Christmas parties at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park and Hollywood Studios, to festive seasonal activities at EPCOT and lots of sweets, treats and drinks for the season, you can expect holiday crowds to soar towards the end of the month. Still, if you hang on to the holiday spirit during your stay, you will have a fantastic time.Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in December 2024 The forecast for December 2024 at Walt Disney World sees a month that looks incredibly consistent. This is rare for December in Orlando and if this weather pattern holds, it is shaping up to be one of the best Decembers in many years. For December 2024, Orlando and Walt Disney World daytime highs are forecast to range from 55°F (13°C) to 79°F (26°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 48°F (9°C) to 68°F (20°C). The highs and lows are a bit of a red herring, as each one applies to only one days (and remember, this is a long-term forecast so it can change. But if we throw out those highs and lows, then December at Walt Disney World is looking good with average daily highs in the low 70s°F and average nightly lows in the mid 60s°F. On an almost shockingly positive note, December at Walt Disney World is showing very little – if any – rain. We’ll take this with a grain of salt, but it is a good sign if nothing else. What to Pack for Walt Disney World in December 2024 Packing for Walt Disney World in December 2024 means packing for a nice, sunny weather during the day and moderately cooler weather at night. Shorts and t-shirts (or any of the top five most common outfits for Disney Parks) will be fine for most guests in December during the day. If you plan to spend time outdoors at night (at a holiday party, for example), then a hoodie or light jacket is a good thing to pack. If you love to dress up in Christmas or festive holiday clothes, then this is the month to do it. You can go over the top or just have a little subtle Disney clothing. Either way, you’ll fit right in and help to spread the holiday cheer to other guests and cast members. Watch for the biggest crowds of the year during Christmas/New Years week. Be sure to pack your patience if you’re visiting at this time because the crowds in parks can be over the top (and Magic Kingdom Park has been known to close due to capacity). And, as always, be sure the check the weather forecast for Orlando on a local Orlando weather media outlet the day before you leave for your vacation. This will give you the most up-to-date and accurate vacation forecast.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, we that you enjoyed it.
