I would pack both shorts and jeans but not a full trip of each just some of each and short sleeve shirts and a light jacket. My theory is I would want a sweat shirt but why take one since I am likely to buy on on the trip anyway!!!
 
75 is cool to me. I would pack pants, short sleeve shirts, sweatshirt, jacket. Do the "layering" technique for dress. I would bring a couple of shorts in case I felt brave.
 
I would pack short & T's, with a couple of pairs of jeans and a couple light jackets or sweaters.
 

Coming from NH, 75 is going to seem hot. Heck, even 55 will seem hot ;) . I'd pack mostly shorts & t-shirts along with 1-2 long pants (plus what you'll be wearing), 1-2 long sleeve shirts for nighttime, a windbreaker and a light weight fleece pullover. One trick I learned is to bring a small spray bottle of Frebreeze to freshen up clothes between wearings. As long as something isn't dirty or really sweaty just spray it on and leave it hanging in the closet for a day.
 
Hmmm...70's sounds REALLY HOT right now!!:p :)
Ok, seriously though I would pack a couple pairs of jeans, some shorts, some short sleeve shirts, a sweatshirt, and a jacket. I figure the evenings will really cool down and I would freeze:p .
 
I'm in SOUTH Florida, and it's 48 degrees! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 
Seventy-five will feel warm during the day, especially coming from NH! I would probably end up in shorts every day with a short sleeved shirt topped by a sweatshirt in the morning. But bring a bag and leave it in a locker for the evenings, especially if you are staying for a late show (Fantasmic) or parade (Spectromagic) or anything like that. That way if it is really cool/cold, you are prepared. We had to leave Epcot earlier than planned and missed Illuminations (again!) because by 5pm we were all too cold to stay (wearing shorts and t-shirts with sweatshirts over). But we got smart and packed a bag for the next night for Fantasmic. We all changed into long pants and sweatshirts and brought beach towels to sit on. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed the show! Hope you have a great time! I can't believe we have been home for a month. ................P
 
Hello there!

Ive got the exact same dilemna. From previous posts, it looks like we'll be at ASMo at the exact same time.

Here's what I'm planning on packing:

Light long sleeves, some short sleeves plus jeans or wind pants for my DS's. No shorts. Will have along light jackets or sweat shirts for early am / after sunset when the temps will be cooler.

Still in a quandry about that 60% chance of precip on Wed. Keeping fingers crossed we won't have to worry about ponchos, but we will have them along just in case.

Oh, yeah - hats & sunscreen too, especially since we haven't been out in the full sun for a while.

Happy packing (time to finish off my lists now!)
 
48degrees---brrrr? no way!
i guess it all depends where you're coming from!

when it got to almost 40 here last week, people were walking around with no coats like it was spring! mostly because it's been sub zero for so long!

seriously though, we leave next week and i agree with the above.
last year when it was in the 60-70 range, we were comfortable in shorts while the southerners were wearing jackets.
 
I'd do short sleeves and jeans, with a sweatshirt and/or jacket for the early mornings and evenings, *and* a light-weight cover like a long-sleaved blouse you can use as a "jacket" for the in-between times.
 
3 prs of shorts, 2 prs of pants, 7 tops, a sweater/sweatshirt/jacket type thing, 2 bathing suits. I am from CT, where it is currently about 20 degrees. 75 would seem quite hot to me and I'd be wearing shorts during the day, probably pants at night.
 
A little of both as others have said. We were there week before last and live 4 hours north of WDW. We are usually a bit cooler here too. But the cool "wet" wind can be brutal at night if you are trying to enjoy the parks. As we watched Wishes from CR, many people could not stand the cold and ran in screaming-some who claimed to be from up north :eek: ! It was probably only 40's too, but felt much cooler up there. ;) I think the humidity makes it seem colder at times.
BTW it will be 28 here tonight-not sure how Orlando compares.
