How many outfits to pack for kids?

[log]

going for 7 nights - april 3-10th with 2.5+ and 6+ yr old.

How many outfits should I plan per day to cover all possible scenarios with these ages? (how many 'shorts/t-shirts combos' and how many 'long sleeve/long pants combos'?)

By the way, most likely will NOT be doing laundry.

Do you think it will be chilly at night?

thx

I packed one outfit a day for my 2 yr old last month. Course I brought a pair of shorts (in case it got warm) and a jacket (for cool days/nights). We drove so space wasnt a problem. Dont forget, you might do some shopping and pick up a souvenir tshirt. I got a hooded sweatshirt for my son which worked great for cool nights. Also, you may want to bring along extra clothes, or wear something that dries fast in case they get wet. You can rent lockers. Getting wet wasnt an option for us since it was cool.

I brought 3 per day for my 4 yr old I wanted to be sure she had clean for all those pictures, Didn't need all but did use 2 per day, It was easy just putting entire outfit in zip lock bag and grabing a bag to take with every morning,...

When we went to WDW, we planned 1 outfit per day and packed a couple of extra outfits just in case. We did end up doing laundry while there because we didn't want a mountain of clothes to do when we got back. We also put each of the kids' outfits in a ziplock bag and that helped a lot! We just pulled the bag out and there was their complete outfit for the day.

As for it being chilly at night in the beginning of April, I don't know. We went last year at the end of April and although the weather wasn't that great here in Ohio, it was beautiful in Florida! I think if you plan to take one sweatshirt and one pair of pants for your kids, you'll be fine.

Have a great trip!!!!

After a recent trip with DD exploding out of every outfit we had packed for her I always bring at least one more per day then I think we'll need.

We did France for a month and even with access to laundry I brought about 20 outfits. My kids wait until we're away to have "digestive" issues!

We're going to WDW in Oct/Nov and I'll have to pack for an 8 year old, 2 almost 3 year old, and 3-4 month old. I'm pretty sure the kids will get the HUGE suitcase for all their stuff and DH and I will share the itty bitty one.

I have no real numbers for you, but I would say take what you think you'll need and add 5 or so more outfits.

Good Luck!
