Oh, forgot to add. 
I grew up in CA, and I always found *layers* to be the way to go. Even when I lived there and had a very interesting concept of what exactly being cold meant, LOL, I layered. Could be an absolutely freezing 50 degrees during the walk to school, and a broiling sun would come out later in the day so I'd be carrying the coat and rolling up my sleeves for the walk home.
Even though nowadays 50 degrees is pretty much shorts weather (with a sweatshirt, of course, and wool socks with tevas (I've outgrown the Birks...literally, after being pg I can't fit my Birkenstocks anymore) and I'm SO not kidding) for me, I find that layers serve me well at Disneyland/DCA.
A chilly morning can turn into a watery sun, and then you get used to some warmth, but when the sun goes down the cold comes out. BRR! I think I get colder down there, after night falls, than I get up here in WA, and I think it's b/c of the temperature difference between night and day there.
So layers are key, IMO. And maybe a couple hundred hidden in the budget for "emergency" sweatshirts for all...
