Cold Weather Advisory at Disney World: What to Expect




A Cold Weather Advisory was put into effect for parts of central Florida, meaning those visiting Disney World can expect low temperatures throughout the week



With a location in central Florida, we write a lot about the importance of preparing for the sweltering heat at Disney World throughout much of the year. But, that doesn’t mean you can expect warm weather year-round. In the late fall through winter, temperatures are far more moderate, occasionally even dropping to the 30s. This has been one of those weeks, with temperatures expected in the 30s and 40s for the next several days.
