Greetings fellow Mouse Fans!
It’s snowing. Again. Is it just me or are the weather people getting LESS accurate? Last week schools and businesses shut down in Connecticut for an anticipated blizzard and got…about an inch that came 8 hours later than expected. Today they predicted this storm would not amount to much of anything and I have four inches and counting and it is still coming down!
So here’s my first tip for WDW weather planning. Check www.weather.com for the forecast for your trip. But don’t put too much faith in it! Even if they are predicting fair weather for your entire trip, into every trip a little rain must fall. So plan for changes in temp and precipitation. Layers are key! My single favorite item to bring to Disney is a pair of khakis – long to keep me warm but light weight so they are not too warm! Does the forecast show 65 during the day? Great! But keep an eye on the overnight temps as it can still get pretty chill once the sun goes down.
I’m off to go entertain my snowbound Kindergartner. Be well and make magic wherever you go!

Good advice using the internet to research the weather. http://www.wunderground.com has a record of the weather for lots of destinations over the years, which is great as a guide for what it was like at your time of travel over the last few years. Living in Australia, it really helps with knowing what to pack. Having visited in Dec, Jan, Feb Oct and November, we know how different the weather can be in Orlando.

Wow – Australia! Thanks for checking in! I’m also a big fan of http://www.accuweather.com which I have found to be very, well, accurate!
