28 and possible snow in Tampa. 26 in the Happiest Place on Earth, Orlando. My former boss who lived in Detroit took his whole family to Disneyworld about every other year. One to go to someplace warm and play golf....and 2) for him and his family to spend a few days at Disneyworld. Hope he didn't come down this week and weekend. Ooof !!

I’ve been to Disney World twice. Both times it’s been so cold that we really couldn’t enjoy it. Sleeted one time and the auxiliary roads closed due to icing. Surprised I’m not there to cause this.

I’d rather go now than middle of summer. Don’t see how people do that when is 90+ degrees and sunny. We go every 2-3 years but always sometime from October to March.

First time I went was when I just got out of college in the 1980s. It was August, the temps were around 95.

2nd time was in 2006, when I took my family in late September. Very pleasant. Remember catching snippets of West Virginia skulldragging Croom's Warriors.

Every time I’ve been to Disney it’s been in the winter. There’s no way I would ever go in the summer.
Went every year at Christmas for several years until the kids got older. That's perfect weather for it. And if you went in mid december, the crowds weren't as bad.

We did Christmas in 2018 during the first week of December. The crowds were very manageable. It was chilly a couple of mornings but not too bad.

My wife and I went in January 2020 and it was pretty cold one day. Started off in the mid 30s and only got to the upper 40s. I loved it. You could tell the people from Florida, they were bundled up like they were in Alaska.

We went spring break of 2020. We were literally there the last day they were open prior to the Covid shutdown. I remember sitting in the hotel rom hearing about Rudy gobert testing positive and the NBA shutting down

We were there the last two days they were open before that shutdown as well. We were with friends that had Club 33 tickets. Best days I've ever had at the parks.

My wife and I did the late night private party tickets to Magic Kingdom. There were maybe 1500 people in the entire park. You could get on a roller coaster and when it stopped they would ask whoever wanted to to get off. If not they would start it back up and go again.

It wasn’t too bad actually and it was well worth it.
Wife’s company always had their sales meetings at Disney. The company would rent out one of the Disney parks or Universal parks for like four hours one night every year. She hated regular visits because it spoiled her. I think she rode Rockin Rollercoaster 10-12 times one night.

This is what that was. It was a corporate party with what looked like two different small companies but they didn’t fill the ticket allotments so she bought them somehow. It will definitely spoil you.
