🌡️ Weather Overview: What to Expect at Disney in November

November is one of the best months to visit Disney. In Florida, you can expect temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C to 27°C), while California’s Disneyland usually sees 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C). It’s cooler, drier, and far less humid than summer — but layers and rain gear are still smart to bring.

🎒 What to Wear at Disney in November

Packing smart will help you make the most of your trip. Here’s everything you need to bring for a comfortable and stylish adventure.

Disney is casual, family-friendly, and festive in November. Mornings and evenings can be chilly, so layers are key. During the day, you’ll want lightweight, breathable clothing for walking, lines, and sun exposure. Costumes are allowed for kids, and adults can wear themed outfits — just avoid masks or full-face paint (per park rules). Comfort always wins over fashion at Disney.
