Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

[scrappinginontario]

Saturday night's low is forecasted to be 32°!!! Even we Canadians have a light winter coat and knit gloves packed for that evening. High for the day is only in the high 40's so it will be a chilly one all round. Hoping for some lighter crowds to ease us into our Disney week.

You know it’s chilly if the Canadians are putting on coats!

Spoken as a Minnesotan who has been frozen in WDW thinking that she could handle FL “cold” in the past

When it was in the 40s last weekend, I wore long sleeve T, 2 hoodies (with the hoods up), jeans with thermals underneath, and gloves. This kept me warm enough to drink a blue milk in spite of the weather XD Oh, and I'm from Ohio, so I know cold, but I'm not out in it for 12 hours a day like I am at Disney.

Ugh. Rise of the Resistance is down AGAIN!! Been waiting 65 minutes with early entry. Definition of insanity is getting on this line multiple times and expecting it to work.

 

[lovethattink]

Can someone that is there now tell me a bit about the weather?

I can read a forecast, but I’m prior Jan/Feb trips 50th can seem really cold, or am I not remembering correctly?

Saturday into Sunday temps are expected to break an all time record from 4 years ago.

I’ll be wrapped up like a mummy when @scrappinginontario and I hit the park, lol.

I hope we don’t look ridiculous but I’ve packed my NJ warmest!!! Including hand warmers

We were at AK this morning for early entry. Busy but manageable thanks to cool weather. We had an awesome Safari! Was worried it might be too cool for t-shirt and shorts but it was fine. Tomorrow though....

 

[stinkpickle]

I wore at least three layers up top during the cold days last week, plus ear muffs, gloves, etc...BUT I wore my shorts. I don't care how cold it is. I'm wearing shorts in Florida! I can't really feel cold on my legs anymore, anyway...that's probably not a good thing.

I know there’s reason for it but it gets really old hearing “sit down, keep your hands in, watch your kids” on the Living with the Land ride. I think the poor CM on the speaker had to say it 6 times just during the greenhouse part. Takes away from the ride when she’s speaking over the recording.

I meant to post this yesterday & forgot. This was our IG rope drop experience yesterday. It’s been busy this week, but manageable if you get to the parks at least an hour early.

8:45 tapped in through AP line
8:50 in line for Remy’s (within first 50 people)
9:23 ride started
9:25 on Remy’s
9:30 off Remy’s (posted wait 60 minutes)
9:45 in line at TT (posted 45 minute wait)

I had that on MMRR on my last trip, it ended up messing with the audio in one section, so it was just silent and boring.

How productive has the early theme park entry been for Disney resort guests? How many headliners are you able to achieve before the non-resort guests are able to enter the cues?

It can be miserable if you aren't dressed warmly enough. It all depends on the night time temps, but a simple sweatshirt usually isn't warm enough if the temps are in the 50's or lower. A quilted jacket, jeans, gloves and hat are vital if it is cold.

HotHands Hand Warmers

I LOVE those things. If I’m hitting a Disney park and cold is in the forecast pack a pack or two of those and distribute through the fam- who is old enough not to try to eat it of course. Warmth for all (for like 10 hours at least ) and pretty cheap!

I was recently watching a youtube video of the train pre closure and it was the exact same thing. It's amazing people can't get their kids to sit for 5 minutes on a moving vehicle; what do they do in their own cars?!

I have 8 packs with us! Granted my husband and daughter snowboard so I have tons I tossed a ton in my bag, including the toe ones (which I have cause I hate sweaty feet!)

Wow today was pretty darn cold in Magic Kingdom! Got there around 9:30, very cold (especially in the shade) and quite windy. Didn't change the fact that the parks are PACKED! And seemed like no one was really having a good time. Too cold and too crowded isn't probably something you hear often for Disney World but today sure was! We left at sunset when we felt that chilly wind starting to cut through us again. Keep warm if you're staying late at the parks tonight!

 

[DaisyNY]

Please warm us for our March 1 trip...though anything would be an improvement after 18" of snow today!

 

[Kenzientysmom]

Canadian here. Went to Animal Kingdom today and was miserably cold. Had on long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, coat, jeans, and mitts. Packed it in just after 4 and headed back to the resort. Ended up cancelling our dinner reservation at Disney Springs as we just want to stay in the warmth tonight.

 

[MEC004]

When we were there December 2020 they had a similar cold snap. As a Texan I froze even with hand warmers. If you don’t have them pack them.

At least two when we started towards the front of the rope drop pack.
