If you are starting 2025 with a visit to Walt Disney World, here is what you can expect from the weather and special events that will affect what you should pack and wear for your Disney vacation.
How to Dress for January Weather at Walt Disney World
How to Dress for January Weather at Walt Disney World
January 2025 Weather in Orlando will be on the Cooler Side, but Not Too Cold Most Days
January at Walt Disney World is a month that is typically not very hot, at least in terms of Florida weather. It is the middle of winter after all.
However, if you’re traveling to Walt Disney World in January 2025, it is looking like it’s going to be a pretty good month in terms of weather as it applies to visiting theme parks and doing other Disney things.
Special events at Disney World in January might impact your vacation depending on where you’re staying and what you plan to do. Take note that the Walt Disney World Marathon runs from January 8 to 12, 2025 and the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts takes place from January 10 to February 17, 2025. The marathon in particular can cause travel disruptions onsite, so be sure to check for more information about that, if you plan to visit Disney World that weekend.
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in January 2025
The forecast for January 2025 at Walt Disney World is pretty good for a typical January. The forecast is very similar to the pleasant December that just took place and should be good for a winter vacation to Walt Disney World. Yes, it’s cool, but most days are not downright cold, making them pleasant for being out and about.
For January 2025, Orlando and Walt Disney World daytime highs are forecast to range from 54°F (12°C) to 73°F (23°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 48°F (9°C) to 64°F (18°C). Almost all days, however, will be in the low 70s°F or upper 60s°F.
On a positive note, there is very little rain forecast for Disney World in January 2025, so that is a bonus for your vacation. As always in Orlando, however, be prepared for at least one errant pop-up shower just for good measure.
What to Pack for Walt Disney World in January 2025
While the Christmas holiday season will extend for a few days into January, packing for a January Walt Disney World vacation does not include festive wear.
If you are a shorts and t-shirts person (or any of the top five most common outfits for Disney Parks), these should be fine for daytime in January. Otherwise, pants or leggings and a long-sleeve top or light jacket will do just fine. If you plan to spend time outdoors at night, then a hoodie or light jacket is a good thing to bring along. Sometimes it can be windy in the parks at night and that adds a bit of a bite.
If you plan to visit the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, feel free to get inspired with a themed outfit for the occasion.
Watch for the biggest crowds during the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend. There are six races in total and with road closures and so on, it can be a challenge even getting out of your hotel. Check ahead and be prepared, because if you have an early flight that weekend and you are staying at a hotel on a marathon route you could miss your flight if you don’t plan for the delays.
All in January, January 2025 is looking to be a great month for a Disney vacation. As always, check the weather forecast for Orlando on a local Orlando weather media outlet the day before you leave for your vacation. That will give you the most up-to-date and accurate vacation forecast.
