For those of you that are there-How's the Weather?

[OverplanninJess]

We leave on Sunday!!! I can't believe I haven't started packing yet, but the time just hasn't been available-I start tonight as soon as I get home from work! I'm most worried about packing the right clothes-we've never been in the cooler months.
So for those of you that are there RIGHT NOW (or are veterans of this time of year)-how's the weather? I've checked weather.com and it looks like it's going to be in the mid to high 70's, even reaching the 80's on some days! (but it also looks like it's going to cool down to the upper 50's on some evenings)
Is it windy? damp?
Normally we just pack shorts, tees, tanks, and sundresses (for me) and we're set! I feel like we need so many more options for this trip. Is there even going to be a chance of us wanting to go swimming? We're in OH-IO right now and we're experiencing highs around 35 and snow, so I figure 80 should feel amazing right?!
Am I stressing over nothing? I just remember reading other people's experiences on here that went during December and ended up wishing they had their winter coats!
Some insight please!

We leave the same day as you

We were also at WDW this same week last year and it appears the weather this time will be slightly cooler. We got two days at the pool last December, not looking that way for this trip, but you never know..

We are packing light pants (can always wear shorts underneath-kids anyway)) and take them off if it gets hot. We are all wearing t-shirts with hoodies or sweaters every day. Cool in the am and pm so it is nice to have the hoodie and you can take it off when it gets warm in the afternoon. Can always tie them around your waist or we take a backpack.

With those temps they are forecasting I am find with sandals and the kids wear crocs with socks in the am and just take them off if it gets warm.

For me Florida weather has always meant LAYERS ! And I live in Canada so I am use to the cold......

Thanks for the reply. I figured layers would be the best way to go for me-but DBF is warm-blooded and never goes for that-he would just rather just deal with being cold in the morning if he knows it's going to warm up later, rather than have to carry around a sweatshirt or jacket for the rest of the day-go figure. I plan on carrying a small purse backpack everyday anyway, so it's not like it will be a big deal. I told him the expected forecast and he told me to pack shorts, polos, and tees for him as usual, but I think I'm going to stick a pair of jeans and a light jacket in there just in case.
