Coming to Florida for the Spring term of the Disney College Program has its ups and downs. Honestly the hardest thing for me to get over is the weather. I thought Tulsa and Vegas was bipolar. This is a whole nother level of crazy!
I arrived on the 20th of January and thought I knew it was the middle of winter time, I had been told that all i needed was a couple of light jackets and I would be fine. That was great news for me because I was flying Southwest so I could only have two 50lb bags with me. A thick jacket would have limited my packing space.
However, a thick jacket turned out to be exactly what I needed. I have been double layering for weeks! Its finally getting to the point where I don't have to wear a jacket all day long and its the second week of March!! I kept telling my mother to not send me a jacket or long sleeve shirts because we would have single days at a time where it was really warm and humid. Those days of bliss gave me false hope for a warmer future. I mean it got cold, like snow in north Florida cold. It's a problem. Now I simply carry a jacket and umbrella almost every day cause surely it will get cold or rain at some point in the day.
Oh and on the topic of rain...
Florida Seriously Stop Raining on my Parade!! It literally rains every time I have a day off. Makes it really hard for me to visit the water parks I have never been too or basically enjoy the parks for a full day. Wet shoes and feet make the day miserable. Whoever told me that rain shoes in Florida was a bad idea was totally off base. It would have been a great idea.
Also rain sucks because shows and parades get canceled because of it. So that rules out half of Hollywood Studios and the evening at Magic Kingdom.
However, rain has its up sides. When it rains, less people are in the theme parks. They either have kids that complain and cant be in the rain or they just feel like it ruins the experience so they go home. That is perfect opportunity for CP's if you are prepared for it to happen. It totally sucks when your not expecting rain then it happens while your in the park, but if you are prepared its ok.
Lesson to be learned, bring a coat and be ready for a natural water ride.
