Cold Weather Advisory Hits Walt Disney World Early Dec. 31 as Wind Chills Dip to 27°F

Guests are urged to dress in warm layers for early arrivals with wind chills near 27°F.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service advisory runs from 1:00 to 9:00 a.m. EST on Dec. 31 for Orange and Osceola counties, covering all Walt Disney World areas.
  • Brisk winds will make conditions feel colder than the air temperature, with particular exposure risks at rope drop and in open-air transport areas such as bus stops, ferry docks, and Skyliner stations.
  • Disney has not announced any weather-related operational changes to park offerings as of the latest reports.
  • Reports on waterpark operations are conflicting, with one outlet citing a Typhoon Lagoon closure due to cold and others noting only possible adjustments without confirmation.
  • Forecasts indicate a short-lived cold snap with daytime highs rebounding into the 60s and 70s later in the week, and officials recommend layers, hats, and gloves.
