I have been several times in January and usually do well with jeans and T-shirts plus sometimes a sweatshirt and gloves after the sun goes down. But the current forecast seems a little warmer than that. Am I going to regret it if I don't bring any shorts and light/sleeveless tops? Will I regret having long sleeve T-shirts? TIA
 
If the forecast shows warmer temperatures then pack some clothes to accommodate that. The highs are in the mid to upper 80s and lows in 60s...soooo....pack for those temperatures. Seems easy enough to me.
 
Leaving in a few days as well, and we pack some of everything. A couple pairs of shorts and Ts for warmer days- then lots of layers, and cold weather gear as well. Been to WDW 8 times during this time period- and we have needed it all at different times. Sometimes temps fluctuate so drastically that you can be in shorts and a T for most of the day, then once the sun goes down we have needed layers- and even a jacket occasionally. Be prepared- or, if not, expect to take a trip to the Disney store to buy what you didn't bring.

Seems easy to me as well. It's is exactly what were doing & we're leaving to tomorrow also.
 

We head to WDW on Tuesday. I just re-packed our bags, and below is a list of the basics in mine:

2 pairs jeans
2 pairs capris
2 pairs shorts
1 pair thermal leggings (for layering at night)
4 short-sleeved tops
3 long-sleeved tops
1 lightweight jacket
1 rain poncho
1 dollar tree knit hat
1 pair dollar tree stretch knit gloves

I plan to wear a heavier-weight sweatshirt and jeans onto the plane to save space in my bag since I'm not checking bags. If necessary, I can always wash a load of clothes while I'm there mid-trip. I'd probably pack double of the above if I was driving and/or checking a bag and if space wasn't as much of a concern.

Even though the forecast right now looks like it'll be nice and warm, you just never know. I HATE being cold.
 
We leave Tuesday as well, and I'm packing shorts and a tank top/tee for every day and then a couple of sweatshirts/cardigans, two pairs of full leggings and two pairs of capri leggings. Mid- to low-80s in the sun walking around the parks is hot. I think you will definitely regret not having any shorts or short-sleeve tops.
 
You need clothing for warm weather and clothing for cold weather, no matter what the current forecast says, cause you just never know. Better to be prepared.
 
I'm leaving Wednesday and am planning to pack: capri's, jeans, t-shirts, long sleeves and 3 different weight jacket/sweatshirts I can layer. I also have gloves, HotHands and ponchos to hopefully cover all weather possibilities. I'm hoping the rain disappears from the forecast or sticks to the hours of 2-7am.

I will fly in jeans and a zip sweatshirt since the weather at home will be much cooler.
 
We leave Wed also. Hoping the rain goes away, but right now it is sleeting and ice on the roads so 80 and rain will still be better than 30 and this :)
 
Bring maybe a pair of shorts, something plain, like denim or black, so if it does end up being on the warmer side then you have those to wear. Otherwise, capris are always a good option. :)
 
Pack everything. We left this morning, have been there since the 19th, and we had days with tank tops, and days with pants and jackets. One day we froze, and we're swimming the next.
