(1) Any weather prediction that far out is unlikely to be accurate.*
(2) I would be willing to bet that most WDW trips include rain at some point. All of ours have. Be prepared to put on the poncho and keep going.

*That said, if there were a forecast somewhere for our upcoming January trip, I would look at it ... and worry about it.

In February 2008 we took a Disney Cruise. On Sunday when we got on the ship the forecast was for it to be in the 70's on Thursday when we got off the ship. That morning when we walked off the ship: 42! We were cold.

The point is that, as many have mentioned, these long term forecasts are not very accurate. I do, however, check them every day for our vacation and today's accuweather forecast looks way better than yesterday's. We leave for Disney World November 19th and yesterday is was showing rain for the beginning of the trip -- not today. Hopefully that will be a trend.

Makes one wonder why they even bother to make these long range predictions..
Our bunch here in York/Harrisburg call it the "5 day Weekly Planner".
As though you could actually make plans based on the forecast!!!!
It's a struggle for them to get the weather right one day to the next. Sometimes even morning to afternoon on the same day proves too much.
And that goes for the forecasters in Orlando as well.
