Pets and sensitive plants should be brought inside. Residents should also protect exposed pipes in unheated areas.

Current Conditions

As of 6:24 am Monday, temperatures in Lake Buena Vista were 62°F, but it felt like 55°F due to strong winds. Conditions are expected to turn colder overnight, with Tuesday morning being the coldest of the week.

I live in Northern Minnesota and we have hit - 50 before with windchills. It gets extremely cold here. I moved here from the hot South to the frozen North!!! What a culture shock that was. Now I dont get too excited when it gets -30 or more. I am retired and just stay inside and keep warm.

Far as I know, Disney doesn't have such large iguanas on property, at least in guest-facing areas?

Im not so worried about the oranges. Its the frozen Iguanas falling out of the trees without warning and rendering unsuspecting guests unconscious.

We saw all of those except Weeki Wachee Springs. Fun times.

The west side of Florida had a few really original parks. There were Weeki Wachee Springs with it's live mermaid show swimming about and nearby, Silver Springs and the glass bottom boats, Cyprus Gardens and Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg. Probably others that I don't remember. I know we only stopped a Weeki Wachee and Silver Springs. I've stated before that my Dad did not acknowledge that the car had brakes. We usually had all we could do to stop for bathroom breaks.

I think you are right! It was Marineland. I know there wasn't much commercial to see like theme parks. I'm glad we took that trip way back then and was able to see Florida as it was. LOL, I remember that delicious OJ too. It's too bad they don't do it anymore. And yes, we looked forward to that too.

I don't think Seaworld existed, at least in Florida in the 60's. It came in shortly after WDW opened I think. You could be thinking of Marineland. That was on Rte 1 just below St. Augustine. I remember being with my family in 1962 and we stopped at Marineland on our way home. I was just 14 at the time. Another dull story... On our way into Florida on that trip we stopped at the Florida Welcome Station where they gave everyone ice cold fresh Florida Orange Juice. I can still taste it. (ambrosia) Many years later when I was 35 we were on our first road trip from Vermont with our two young girls. All the drive down from home I could taste that Orange Juice. We arrived at the place and I couldn't wait to get into the building to get the OJ only to find that all they had was grapefruit juice (awful). I never forgave Florida for that slip up in planning. I almost asked Florida to reimburse me for the trip but since we had a great time at WDW I decided to just let it go!

When my husband and I were first married we drove on a whim to Florida. I remember driving through endless orange groves. It seemed that they would never end. That was in the late 60's. I'm so glad we got to see Florida in a somewhat natural, pre theme park, state. The only attraction that we saw on the Atlantic coast was Marineland, which was right on the coast. There was no Disney or Universal, etc. We visited Silver Springs and saw Huge fish from the glass bottom boats. When we returned several years later, the huge fish were no where to be seen. But, back to the orange groves, lol. I am so sad to see them going away due to whatever the cause.

Fun fact- my dad first visited WDW in the early 1970s on his way back to NY after picking oranges all season. He camped in his car and only had enough money to walk around and ride a few rides.

There are a few groves around I've seen in the past few years, but they are very rare. Certainly rarer than they used to be even a decade ago!

The WDW area groves started shutting down before the other factors became major. There won't be any land left far enough south for citrus when they can't grow it in the desert regions. I guess if it becomes more profitable than sugar cane or whatever vegetables they grow maybe they will turn some of the farms south of Lake Okeechobee into citrus groves.

Well that was one factor, several others in play like the Asian Citrus Greening (Huanglongbing (HLB) ) and imports from Mexico, Chile and Peru where production costs are significantly lower. As soon as the desert regions in the US run out of water, I'm sure production in FL will increase.
