Walt Disney World Weather Report for February 13th from @WDW_Weather

Happy almost Valentines day - is everyone enjoying the romantic castle show?  Wait - and while I'm at it - is everyone enjoying WINTER?  Yes contrary to popular belief it is actually technically and scientifically speaking winter - though it sure hadn't felt like it throughout Walt Disney World!  That changed this weekend as a front came through and the arctic doors opened delivering plenty of cold weather throughout the country.

As I type this there is a freeze warning in effect for the early morning hours Monday but Mother Nature is a fickle creature and things will change quickly ... and for the better.  As dew points increase - frost is likely so make sure those plants are protected though by the time you read this it will be too late ... but ... the thought was there :-).

Plenty of sunshine can be expected today with highs in the mid 60s.  Once again the lows will get into the 40s - though likely temperatures will stay in the upper 40s THIS time.

And guess what - you are out of the woods.  Just like that - you go from winter to spring in a finger snap!  Highs will skyrocket into the mid 70s as early as tomorrow and increase to close to 80 by your hump day.

It's a bit early to say but there is a chance for showers on Thursday now in the long term - but we can revisit that later.

Disneyland Weather Report for February 13th from @WDW_Weather

Wow well I sure do not like typing about things like this - but it looks to be a little unsettled throughout Southern California this week - especially if you are planning on going into the mountains.

Looks like Monday is going to be a bit showery - and I'm talking showery to impact morning and evening rush our commute so allow a little extra time to get where you are going.

Tuesday looks to be a good day though a little cooler than it has been with highs in the low 60s, but the sun should come out.  It looks like Wednesday the next system may be coming in which will bring some showers into the area ... now all of this may be good news for you skiers out there but not great news for those visiting Disneyland.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for the February 10th Weekend from @WDW_Weather

I gotta be honest I'll be happy when this weekend is over.  This has easily been the hardest week to forecast thusfar in 2012.  Timing has been difficult to pin down but I've been talking about a cold front since early this week - well it is coming - and it may be coming a little earlier than originally thought.

So let's go for today - happy Friday by the way.  Expect highs in the mid to upper 70s and then expect clouds to thicken up as the day goes on and anytime after noon a shower followed by more than a shower can be expected.  Looks like that rain will continue into the evening into the overnight and even into maybe rope drop for Saturday morning.  The good news is that it looks like Saturday won't be a wash out and by the evening hours we will clear out but it will get cooler.

How cool will it get? Well for what Central Florida has seen this winter - REAL COLD! Expect highs only in the lower 60s Sunday - though temperatures will rebound quickly into next week.  Have that jacket handy because we will get down to about 40 degrees Saturday night/Sunday morning and you want to be prepared for that.

Disneyland Weather Report for the February 10th Weekend from @WDW_Weather

I've been talking about this cool down for a few days now so you shouldn't be surprised by it - but in case this is the first time you are hearing about it - get out there and enjoy today because well - just do it.

Expect mostly sunny skies today with highs in the low 70s with clouds building in the late afternoon into the early evening.

Lows will get down into the upper 40s but then here comes the rain.  Showers are possible on Saturday into Saturday evening and temperatures will cool down even more so be emotionally prepared for that.

Once the sun comes back out on Sunday it will still be cold (especially compared to the last two weeks) as highs will only be in the low 60s but it will be clear and sunny so what more could you ask for?

Walt Disney World Weather Report for February 9th from @WDW_Weather

Well as I warned you earlier in the week - the forecast could change as I didn't feel a whole lot of confidence in the varying model runs we were seeing and lucky for you in Central Florida on vacation that HAS happened and while it hasn't been the best week throughout Walt Disney World it certainly has not been the worst!  Big changes are coming in the temperature department though so here we go.

As I said model confidence hasn't been high and it still isn't ... rain is coming but the exact timing and how much is still WAY up in the air.  What I can tell you is that a cold front is heading towards the area and it looks like it will get here sometime Saturday ONCE that happens it will clear out the clouds and lower those temperatures in a pretty significant way.

So for today in the short term expect highs to be kept a little bit down thanks to the increased cloud cover.  We should still make it into the mid 70s for a high.  Temperatures will only drop into the mid 50s for lows and then temps will rebound back into the mid to upper 70s for Friday to end your week.  Once again this is where things get tricky - clouds build and here comes the rain ahead of that front.

I don't want to call Saturday a washout but it looks like right now late Friday night into Saturday is when we can expect the worst weather to arrive.  Temperatures will then drop at least about 10 degrees when it comes to highs and we likely won't get out of the 60s on Sunday even though the sun should return.

Disneyland Weather Report for February 9th from @WDW_Weather

Enjoy the warmth while you still can because some changes are coming this weekend into next week.  

The sun will remain so there is the good news for today and tomorrow with highs right around 80 today and in the mid 70s for Friday.  Lows will get down to around 50 tonight but then cool into the 40s by early Saturday morning.

I can't rule out a sprinkle or two but it won't be anything to wash out your Saturday night - that said, have that light coat ready because highs on Sunday will only be in the low 60s and that trend continues right on into next week.

Meet Disney Legend Bill Farmer February 25th in Garden Grove, CA

The Friends of the Mouse will welcome Disney Legend Bill Farmer to celebrate 25 "Goofy" years on Saturday, February 25. 

Disney fans have known Bill as the voice of the lovable Goofy, along with a host of other characters. His talent can be heard in feature films (The Goofy Movie, Cars, Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast), on television (House of Mouse, Goof Troop, Raw Toonage) and in video games (Kingdom Hearts, Epic Mickey, Everquest 2). Disney's DTV Doggone Valentine television special in 1987 was the first time he voiced Goofy and barked for Pluto in the same project.

The meeting will be held at the Garden Grove Historical Society, 12174 Euclid in Garden Grove. The meeting starts at 12:30, with a social hour starting at 11:30. Memberships will be taken at the business meeting to follow.

Walt Disney World Weather Report for February 8th from @WDW_Weather

Well lucky for all of us (especially those reading in Central florida) - the forecast keeps changing a bit.  Now as I said earlier this week - today was going to be the nice day - but it looks like that is going to continue into tomorrow.

After fog impacts the morning commute again the sun should come out for most of the day bringing temperatures into the mid 70s today into tomorrow.  Lows will get down into the mid 50s.  That said the forecast has been somewhat unsettled for the entire period and as I type this now I wouldn't be surprised to see things change.

The way things look now is that showers should hold off until Friday night into Saturday when a bit of a cool down looks to take place.

I am going to keep this short until I have some more long term data.

Remember that not so good day in Southern California?  Yeah - well that day was yesterday and it is a distant memory today as the sun comes back out and temperatures warm up!

The sun comes out once showers subside Tuesday morning - highs get into the mid 70s and we warm up from there and get towards 80 on Wednesday!

Sun continues through the rest of the week - but temperatures cool down just a bit.  Lows will be right around 50 through the period.
