WDW Weather in December
We are heading to WDW Dec 18-28, and we've gone always gone in March, what will the weather be like, how do we pack??? We are coming from MN, so it will still feel great to us, just not sure what to expect!

I never decide until I see the forecast. Last time we went in December, it was warm some days and cooler other days. I packed capris, jeans, long and short sleeve t shirts, and a cozy sweatshirt and it was all good.

Weather in December can be quite variable. I've been a number of times during this month. Often, I've been able to wear tees and shorts - even late into the night and using the pool was certainly possible. On other trips, jeans and sweatshirts were needed especially in the evening. On still other trips, I was bundled in my winter gear and still chilly (and I'm from the Northeast so am used to cold weather)! We've had temps from below freezing to well into the 80s and, sometimes, you will find all ranges of weather within the same trip. Be prepared for all eventualities!

There's no way to say what you'll need. It can be 80, 50 or both in the same week. Start checking the forecast thread a couple of weeks out and you'll get an idea then.

Another factor is where you're staying and if you're using Disney transportation. On one December trip we were at Fort Wilderness which means boat transport to Magic Kingdom - our favorite means of traveling.
One night in particular was especially cold - I think the temperature was in the mid-40s. Which felt very cold on the boat. Some guests were wearing sweatshirts on their heads.
While we usually bring gloves and scarves and windbreakers we also look to see if Disney is having sales on sweatshirts and hoodies with the year imprinted. One of the perks of going in December versus January - a souvenir you can actually use.

What he said. Though I have to buy my son new long sleeve shirts and pants this year which probably guarantees a warm FL winter.

I know it doesn't work that way either, but yet whenever I decide to lug the umbrella around, it doesn't rain. Leave it in the car when the sky is slightly cloudy and a down pour suddenly appears.

Or the day after I wash my car.

Obviously y'all have stumbled upon the secret to forecasting. Forget studying all the models, physics, thermodynamics, and high level math I had to take.

December in Orlando. It could be in the 80's or below freezing, or anywhere in between. Check within 1 week of your arrival and and you'll get a more accurate forecast for your vacation.
