Ladies, tell me what clothes to pack...

...for our mid November trip! We've only been to WDW in February and August, so I'm not sure. I'm thinking pants in the evenings, but that they will be too hot during the day. FYI we're from upstate NY so used to cooler temps. Thanks!

Unfortunately for that timing you may need to bring a mix of everything. When you are closer, you can look at the 10 day forecast to help, but it varys greatly. We have been there on Thanksgiving twice, once wearing shorts, once bundled in many layers with gloves and earmuffs, as it was 40 degrees in the morning - I think it may have been warmer back in South Jersey that day! Actually had my DH bring down DD's winter coat when we realized the temperature drop, since he and DS came a few days later that trip. We have also been there Jersey week (beginning of Nov.) and our sleep in/swim day did not work out as it was in the 60s, and we wore pants that day, but by the end of the week it was very hot and Splash Mt. felt good!

Bring a mix. And do look at the 10 day forecast but remember it changes daily. Bring thing that can be layered in case it is cooler than originally forecast. November is a great time to go!

I agree with other posters. DH and I have a trip 11/29-12/8. I am bringing t-shirt dresses with leggings to go underneath and a cropped jean jacket for evenings. Maybe a couple of pairs of jeans for evenings. I also bought long sleeved t-shirts that I will decorate to wear. In the day time I can push the sleeves up and wear with skorts then switch to longer pants at night. We live in Mississippi so our weather is similar...but like the others I do a 10 check too.

From WNY here and used to go mid/late November yearly.
I find capris to be the best happy medium for that time of year.
Not too hot during the day, not too cold at night.
Also bring a light jacket to the parks for early morning and at night.

Living here I can tell you Nov is definately a mixed bag. I wouldn't call November "cooler" but it is normally drier. It's normally too cold for FL people to swim but you should probably experience temps in the 70's during the day and 50/60's at night. Think April in the NE. It can get cold though. We have had November's with temps in the 50's/60's in the day time but it's not normal.
We are predicted to have a chilly and wet winter this year. The last two were extremely warm with me having the AC on at Thanksgiving.

Thanks for all the tips!

I went in November of last year. I bought some cheap sweats and long sleeved tshirts at Good Will. In the morning, I wore my shorts and tshirts with the sweats/long sleeved over them. It was too cold in the morning (and sometimes in the afternoon) without them. Then if it got hot, I took them off and threw them away. It wasn't a lot of money to spend, gave me the warmth I needed in the morning, and meant my suitcase was empty enough to hold all the things I bought when I left lol.

I'm from WNY and two years ago when I was there from 11/11 through 11/16, it was HOT! We wore tees and shorts every day and only put a sweatshirt on one night during Fantasmic when the water spray from the show made it a little bit cool. I typically pack a pair or two of jeans and a sweatshirt or two for layering. Keep in mind that if it's cool in the morning, you may still want to head out in shorts instead of pants because it will get warm quickly once the sun is high in the sky. You can start with a sweatshirt and then throw it in your bag for later in the evening. Of course, this is assuming the forecast doesn't show anything really odd compared to the norm. And of course, us WNY folks wear shorts when it's 45 degrees in the middle of January, so you know...
