OVERVIEW

Winter at Walt Disney World—loosely defined as November through February–is the most variable of seasons.

The weather is literally variable—cooler, and with typical daily highs ranging from the low 60s to the 80s. Tornadoes can be an issue during this period. See this for more.

Crowds are both near their lowest—in January between New Years and the Martin Luther King day weekend—and at their highest, over the week that includes New Years Eve.

Prices are the lowest of the year twice—between the end of Thanksgiving weekend and mid-December, and from early January through mid-February. They also hit their peak of the year in winter, over the week that includes New Year’s Eve.
