Do you feel that? The crisp, cool weather kicking in at Disney World?
Christmas at Magic Kingdom
Going to Disney World during December is always tricky. Yes, the crowds are busy, but that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the unpredictable Florida weather — will it be hot? Will it be cold? Believe it or not, Florida gets chilly during the holidays, and sometimes guests aren’t prepared for it. So, we’re here to tell you what you need to pack for a Disney World trip in December!
We know Florida is looked at as always hot and humid, but that’s not the case. There have been December trips we’ve taken where we’ve needed hand warmers. When you’re waiting in lines or watching parades, the air can feel pretty cold. We’ve found we’ve needed them most when the sun goes down and we’re waiting for fireworks.
Frozen Holiday Surprise
Get these Hand Warmers

These Electric Hand Warmers provide instant warmth and adjustable heat. It heats up in just five seconds with three temperature settings up to 126 °F to meet different comfort needs. They’re ideal for those long periods of being outdoors during a Disney day! You can get this 2-pack for 47% off!
We find that a jacket is super important! You will desperately want it in the mornings and evenings, even if it’s warm enough during the day.
Christmas at the Speedway
This Mickey Fleece is perfect!

This Mickey Fleece Quarter Zip Jacket caught our eye for two reasons! 1) This fleece is perfect for keeping you warm without making you feel too hot when the weather starts to warm up. After all, the weather can change from hot to cold on the same day. 2) It’s a Disney jacket — if you’re looking for a fit for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, here it is!
We think Chapstick is a must!

Chapstick is a must-bring for those chilly mornings and nights! Nothing is worse than standing in line for Mine Train, the air is cold, and your lips feel like they’re cracking. We like Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick because it is clinically proven to relieve dryness and soothe chapped, cracked lips. For 33% off, we think this is a deal!
We can’t be the only ones who get cold ears quickly when we’re at Disney in the winter. For us, we’re always packing something to cover up our ears — especially if it’s windy. We’ve all had that feeling, too much wind starts to blow, and our ears start to ACHE.
Hey Mickey and Minnie!
You can grab this Winter Hat
©Amazon
Well, we found the perfect Winter Soft Knit Hat for the holiday season! This hat is not only soft and comfortable to wear but also provides excellent warmth and insulation. The double-layer design with a fleece lining ensures optimal comfort and protection against cold weather conditions. Plus, look at its pom poms that look like Mickey ears! You can get it for 33% off.
What do you need to bring to hold all these things? A backpack, of course. You’re going to want to pack for every season. You never know what you are going to get. We go every year in December, and it has been as cold as the 40s and as high as the 80s. Plus, you’ll need something to carry all the presents from your Christmas shopping!
Cinderella!
Get this cute Stitch Holiday Loungefly
©Amazon
If you’re a fan of Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, you’re going to love this Stitch Holiday Loungefly Backpack! It features Stitch wearing a Santa hat, sitting inside of an ornament — seriously, look how adorable this bag is.
The last thing you’ll need for December is pieces to go with your Christmas Disney outfit! You can’t do the holidays at Disney without looking the part.
Toy soldiers!
There’s this Magic Kingdom Christmas Sweater
©Amazon
We found our top for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and it’s this Vintage Magic Kingdom Christmas Sweater! The sweater features Cinderella’s Castle, bells, a toy soldier, a Mickey wreath, bows, and more Mickey decorations. This Christmas sweater is just adorable.
And finally, these Minnie Christmas Ears

There are so many reasons that we love these Minnie Christmas Ears! For starters, Minnie Ears at the park can be so expensive, whereas you can get these holiday ones for much cheaper. Not to mention it comes in a 2-pack for less than the price of one at Disney — perfect for you and a friend. We also adore the peppermint and snowflake design. These would be great for the Christmas party!
