Everyone is right. Everything was very casual. I just wore casual shorts or pants and polo shirts and walking shoes.
Most DISers either came from the themeparks before or after an event.
The opening reception was very casual with many solo DISers meeting at EPCOT for a greet and meet and lunch at Norway.
At the opening reception, there were large round tables that everyone just sat down or walked around greeting and introducing each other. Then Pete Werner gave away some door prizes, showed a short movie about the way the DISboards were going to improve. Then a lot of DISers hung around talked. Others walked to watch Illuminations. And everyone ended up at Jellrolls on the Boardwalk.
The breakfast was casual,too, and then everyone headed to the parks.
The Illuminations dessert party was no different.
This year the dinner is going to be a beachside type party.
Everything was casual.
As for the weather, we were very lucky last year.
I remember one December, it was warm with the sun out during the day. And during the night it got chilly, very windy, and with the sun down, some people wore jackets and gloves during the EPCOT Candlelight Processional.
I now take my gloves just incase...lol. At least on sweater and light jacket just for layering durin the day or night depending on the weather.
Otherwise all my clothes were casual and short sleeves.
But you can wear what ever you want.
I should go to bed...lol...after working 16 hours last night.
But that's what happens when I drink eight cups of coffee...lol.
