Packing for warm days - cool nights - what to do ?

[pooh2001]

We love wearing shorts in WDW.
We will be at WDW this Easter. We have never gone duirng the begining of April.
Weather seems to be 70 - 80 during the day.
But what about after 8 pm ? Lows are 40 - 50, a bit cold for shorts.

How many pairs of jeans should we bring ?

We will do laundry once during our stay. We stay for 12 days.

Thnaks for any help

When we went in Jan last year I packed for my kids lots of zip off pants and a few sweat shirt jackets. They love the pants and it saves tons of space, and you can bring the legs with you Good luck and have a great trip! Nettii

that's a great idea, zip-off pants - we usually just bring sweatjackets & put them into a locker if it's too warm during the day (and we're not planning to go back to the room)

We were at WDW March 7-11 the weather was 80 during the day 60's at night. We stayed at CR so we were able to go back to our room before dinner to change into warmer clothes. With that said we packed shorts, capris, tshirts, and windbreaker jackets. We didn't wear jeans at all during this stay. We only needed a light jacket at night. Even on our Illuminations Cruise we were comfortable in shorts and a jacket. Have Fun!

Thanks ! - We leave in about 2 weeks and have 10" of snow on the ground. I guess I was thinking of cold weather.
We'll have one pair of jeans with each of us - for the plane ride to WDW and back home again. Our home area will not see 60 degree for at least another month.

Shorts, t-shirts and light windbreakers it will be

Go to accuweather.com
They have 15 day weather forecasts. Just plug in Orlando.
Although 60 at night is warm enough for shorts, some of the nights during our stay March 24-April 2 are predicting in the 40's! Too cold for shorts if that really happens.
I'd bring another pair of long pants along, just in case.

I swear by zipoff pants - I am one of those folks who gets cold easily, but jeans do take up a ton of suitcase room. I usually wear jeans to and from on the plane in the winter months. For the spring and fall, I wear the zipoffs for flights.

Even if you never put on the bottom half of the pants, you are still have peace of mind that you are covered if the weather decides to turn a little too cool for your liking.

zip-off pants in my kid sizes - but not for us - DH & DW
Maybe we'll just pack shorts in our carry ons and an extra pair of jeans in our suitcase.

I will also check www.accuweather.com a few days before we go.
Thanks

Pooh - if you want adult sized zipoffs, I recommend the Sierra Trading Post website. They have great prices and carry quite a few styles for adults. I have had good luck with them.

We travel and go camping quite a bit. Flying from the Rockies in midwinter to Cozumel is quite a shock to the old system!

Here's what we do-
Wear zip-off pants. I especially like synthetic microfiber ones, they can get wet & dry out in a flash, and the legs can be stored in a very small space.

Wear layers of clothing, usually a shirt with a polartec-type fleece. Fleece is much lighter than a cotton sweatshirt and better for many reasons.

Don't wear sandals. Wear shoes & socks or your feet will freeze at night.

Bring a cap, any kind will do. The same one that keeps the sun off of you in the day can keep you warm at night.
