What is the weather like in Feb? shorts and t's? pants and long sleeves? jackets or sweaters for evening? We may be going in the next 3 or 4 weeks and i am not prepared.

I always check the 15 day forcast online.

it's very accurate.
But, it mostly depends on how long you are staying so without looking I would say wear pants and a long sleeve t shirt.
Then take 1 other pair of pants and a couple pairs of short and t-shirts.
Then take/wear a fleece and you should be good.
We always tend to want to wear the same sort of things so I just plan a laundry on day 3 and then you're good to go. There is always an hour to put a load in while you are in the quiet pool it's so easy. Less to pack and more room for souveniers!!

That seems pretty chilly for florida. I guess that means skip the water parks?

yeah, the forcast is chilly. Maybe another sweatshirt is needed if that continues. Just keep an eye on the forcast and pack at the last minute.

We've been a couple times in March. The high was low 70's and very nice. I wore capri's on the plane in case I needed something warmer than shorts in Florida. I never needed the capri's during the trip. We all wore shorts the entire time and very light jackets before 9am and after dinner....still in shorts. The main pool at CBR was beautifully warm, but the quiet pools were chilly. The FQ pool was warm during the day, but chilly at night....we still swam in all the pools. We went to TL. The kids and I were okay, but dh thought it was cool. It's extremely nice weather for all the walking one does at WDW. ENJOY! Sandra

March is totally different than Feb - it's like May vs June in Ontario. It;s a mixed bag so keep an eye on the weather.

We did early Feb a few years back and while daytime highs were "close" to 70F, evenings were really cold - and by this I mean 9 or 10C degrees which doesn't sound too bad but if you are watching Fantasmic and the wind is blowing on you, it is COLD! We needed hats, mits and about 3 layers! Blankets would have been amazing!

There was frost a few mornings when we left for parks. The DDs swam but we didn't - a few hottub nights. The lifeguards had winter coats and sweats on!!

But again, I have also been in Dec and it was HOT! Keep an eye on the forecast and pack for a bit of everything!

Try the trip planner section on http://www.wunderground.com. You type in your dates and it will give you the highs and lows as well as the forecast for the last bunch of years. It really gives you an idea of the possibilities.

I have made several trips in February and have wore t shirts and shorts and my winter clothes all in the same week . actually woke up to ice on puddles one morning but was able to lie on the beach a couple days later so for February you have to be prepared

I've been on wunderground before but I had never seen the trip planner. It's FANTASTIC

February is very unpredictable in Florida. Some days can be decently warm while other days are down right freezing!

Also keep in mind, the temperature does get very cool in the evenings, even if the day was warm. If we know we'll be spending the entire day/evening in the parks, we'll pack some pants and sweatshirts in a backpack to change into. Two years ago, that wasn't even enough.....I found myself wearing the backpack for extra coverage/warmth!

It really is. I use it anytime I travel outside of the Maritimes.
