When we were in DL in May, it was CHILLY...to the point of being uncomfortably cold the one night we stayed out for WOC. We never ended up staying for the DL fireworks because we couldn't bear the thought of another night of freezing like that. Even the days were chillier and kind of gloomy...could be our bad luck or bad pick of dates. Clearly, FL has more than its share of weather issues but our usual travel times are April and October and for the most part, we are blessed with warm weather. We like to get up early and rope drop then spend afternoons lounging by the pool at our resort before heading back for dinner and nighttime shows.
That's interesting your take on the weather as the biggest concern I have about maybe going to WDW again is the weather in FL compared to Cali. I'm from the West and so we go to DL quite often. Out of a dozen or so trips over the last number of years we nearly always have fantastic weather. Usually lots of sun, warm but not hot temps, and no rain. Worst case it might be cool enough for a jacket in the morning or late evening, but that's about it.
Our experience on our one trip to WDW 10 years ago was quite different. We went in early November and for the first 2 days it was very nice, almost tropical feeling, and we loved it. Then a cold snap hit and we literally had to go to Walmart and buy coats and sweatshirts and caps and parkas for the whole family. The next 6 days we were there it was cold and drizzly off and on the entire time. We still had fun as we hadn't been there before, but it was definitely worse weather by far than any we've ever had at DL.
