What type of accommadation do you have? Are you a dvc member? if so, and you are staying in a one bedroom, you will have the washer and dryer. what a blessing. we are leaving on friday and i am only, trying only to pack five outfits this way i am not overpacking and the laundry can be done in the room and i will have another 5 clean outfits to finish the trip.
this is wonderful at the end of the trip, i only have one load of laundry when we come home and all the rest of the clothes are clean. Laundry gets done the day before we come home.

otherwise, with the kids, you will have to pack some extra clothing. Friends went last year and had two outfits per day for the kids. 4 and 6. this way one for the day at the parks, etc and then one for dinner at nite. It was crazy and alot of clothes.
good luck.
i must return to my packing and gathering the rest of my items.
Have a great trip.

DH just checked the 15-day forecast on Accuweather.com and it's showing a high of 77 and low of 57 at the end of the month. We'll be there a few days after that so hopefully that weather pattern will still be in effect.

I would pack clothes that can be layered, that way if the temps drop you can layer up and visa versa. Just some light layers like long sleeve tshirts and some fleece pullovers or hoodies will be adequate IMO. You might want to stuff a couple of lightweight jackets in your suitcase too because if the temps do unexpectedly drop you won't be sorry you came prepared. This actually happend to us on one trip and we ended up spending about $50 on a jacket to keep our then two yr old from freezing to death (luckily they were selling them at that time). Clothing is not cheap at DW!

In terms of the kids, I think it's a good idea to pack extras unless you plan on doing laundry. If you're staying on site all the resorts have laundry facilities so you won't be stuck if you run out of clothes.
