Do we really need long pants and sweatshirts for August?

[Amyg]

We brought only shorts & tops, BUT, I did bring a lightweight long sleeved shirt to wear in the restaurants because I do tend go get cold in a/c. I actually only wore it once during our 8 day trip.

Definitely not. I break a sweat walking to the mailbox every day. You dont need sweatshirts til December!

You difinitely do not need long pants or sweats. Pack lots of shorts and bathing suits. I do agree you should have a sweater for inside the restaurants. My daughters and I are always cold when we are out to eat at night in the restaurants.

We'll be there at the end of August and I will definitely lug around sweaters for all 3 of my girls & me. While it will be really hot outside, I know that we will freeze in the restaurants. Eating is miserable when you are too cold. So, I guess it just depends on your preferences. I know most people like it the colder the better.

No way you should bring them. Go to the dollar store and buy ponchies thought.

Original poster here! Thanks so much to some of you for making me look like an idiot

I only asked the question because I've seen quite a few posts recently from people who say things like "it can even feel chilly when the sun goes down" and "I came in soaking and was freezing", etc, etc. I have two small kids and I just want to be prepared when my husband says 'What, you didn't bring a jacket or sweatshirt for when they got cold???!" Couple that with the fact that we've never been to wDW at this time of year, and didn't know if it was ALWAYS stifling hot and humid or just sometimes.

I think I get the point now though!!

I am sorry if some made you feel like an idiot. I can certainly understand you asking this question. As I said in an earlier post, if your kids are cold at resturants at home then I would definately bring a lite jacket or sweatshirt.

I was just sitting outside reading on my deck, I am in SE PA it was so hot and humid today, but I felt chilly outside reading. So I can see your concern.

Have a great vacation.

A lot of people do get cold in the restaurants, etc., just because it is so hot outside that in can seem freezing inside by comparison. On the other hand, I personally have never been cold outside at WDW in July or August. Not even at 3am in a downpour. Still hot.
