This Weather Forecast Proves How INCONSISTENT Disney World Weather Can Be!

You can control a LOT of things when it comes to planning a Disney World vacation! Dedicated Disney planners can make dining reservations 60 days in advance, savvy money-savers can look for discounts to apply to their room reservations, and some guests like to control their spending in the parks by using Disney gift cards! But (sadly) we can’t control the weather in Disney World, and last we checked, Disney doesn’t have any plans to build a weather bubble around the parks — darn!

We’re nearing the middle of February already!

Speaking of weather, our friends visiting the parks next week might want to check out the forecast in Orlando, so let’s take a look at next week’s weather forecast in Disney World!
