Clothing ?

[MagicDreamer]

OK, I'm not sure if this is in the right place, but I need help with some clothing choices. We're going to be arriving Friday, in the afternoon, probably won't get to Epcot until around 4ish. So, what should I wear that day? On normal days I will be layering so I will be warm in the morning, cool in the hottest points, and warm again at night. BUT, that first night we'll be out mainly at night and I don't want to get too cold. Plus, I only have so many layering shirts and I want to use them during the week. What would you wear? Would you just bring a jacket or wear a sweater? What time does it really start to cool off? I just want to be comfortable, and I am cold natured. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I know you all probably think I'm crazy...

I wanted to post since you are going soon, but usually we go the beginning of March. What I do is pack one pair of jeans, one pair of leggings, and wear a pair of Kakhi's on the plane. Then I usually pack 2-3 pair of capris and shorts. I pack about 4-5 shirts, 1-2 long sleve shirts, and 3-4 sweaters, jackets, sweatshirts. I have a car coat length coat that has a zip out lining (but one of those nice trenchs would be great too-again I wear that on the plane). I can usually do 4 days before I need to do laundry.

What I would do is check the weather for Orlando, and see how that compares to your local weather. The lows will probably be in the early morning, and I gind between 5-6 it gets really chilly. Like you said layering is the key and being prepared for any weather will keep you happy on vacation.

So my packing list looks like this(including clothes worn for travel):
pants/leggings(3)
Capris(3)
Shorts(3)
ss Shirts (5)
ls Shirts (2)
Sweaters/jackets(3)
Coat
Umbrella
poncho
socks(5)
sneakers(2)
flat shoes
undergarments/sleepwear

As far as your arrival...depending what you wear on the plane-I would guess a t-shirt and jeans, and a light jacket...the only other thing I would probably have ready to throw on is a long sleve shirt when you check in, or accessable from your luggage. I hope this helps. Check this on thurs http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USFL0372?from=weekend_topnav_undeclared
You might want to grab one extra of everything if the rain forcast continues...but looks like it will be warm. HAve a great trip
