It can be and feel very cold early morning in Orlando. Their winter two years ago was very cold. If you look at the website www.weather.com I think it gives both monthly and historical records.

Bear in mind that on Christmas Day in particular, the theme parks will be rammed full of people. CD is usually one of Disney's busiest days of the entire year.

I dont mind crowds, prefer them to baking heat and thunder storms

We went last December in the two weeks before Christmas. took kids out of school as it was the only time we could holiday. the weather was around 20- 24 most days so pleasant but chilly in the morning and evening (cardi weather) the biggest issue is the humongous crowds at Disney and Universal. in the 10 or 12 days before schools broke up it was lovely - no more than a 10 - 15 min queue for anything. when the schools broke up it was just completely and utterly packed. they shut HP world there were so many in there and there were some rides with 4 hour queues. Christmas is the busiest time and we really did not like it for the last few days of our hols. the roads were jammed as well. what about end of school hols into Sept or around feb half term. also if you are thinking this Xmas you need to really crack on and get flights as they are almost sold out on some routes and times. PM me if you want more details about where we stayed etc.

As Attila said, it will be very busy at Christmas. Last Christmas some of the parks closed by 11am as they were at full capacity.
