Help~First Time in January~What to pack???

[earthfaries]

We are going to WDW Jan. 11-20 and have no clue what to bring!!!
We always go in Sept./Oct.
What should we pack? Sweaters? Jackets? Do you ever need hats/gloves? Does it rain in Jan.?
I'm afraid we won't be able to fit it all in the van with us if I have no idea of the weather possibilities in Jan.

We went in late December in 2004 and early mornings were chilly and we needed hoodies and long pants (and since I'm bald - a good wool hat!). But afternoons would get into the 70's. My son even swam a bit while we were there (though I think sometimes he would swim in an iced over pond if we would let him!).

I'm kind of a like to have more on and take off if I need to kind of guy rather than not have enough and freeze kind of guy.

You are probably talking about tempature ranges from 50 to 70 degrees. I don't like to be cold so I pack more, but I had a friend in college who would walk around in short sleeves and shorts in 40 degree weather. So it depends on what you can stand!

I don't think I helped you with your question at all, but I found out that I'm really good at waffling!

Good Luck!

No, you did help actually. I was afraid of that answer! I figured there would be a huge temperature difference from morning to evening and we will have to bring TONS of stuff for all 5 of us!
The way the weather is this past year who knows what to expect anyway, huh?
Thanks!
