I don’t think so, usually they wait until it’s colder when the average temp is colder. Usually mid 60s at the beginning/warmer part of the season and 60 degrees during the cold part of the season.

Right. You quoted me from last winter. This year should be warmer and drier in FL.

Is there a specific set temperature below which Disney always closes the water parks?
