Packing help - what to take

[MJRmom]

We will be at WDW the first weeK of February, what should I pack for the kids?
Shorts and t-shirts or capris/lite pants and t-shirts? I was planning on jeans/pants and fleece for evenings?
I want to pack smart - any help is appreciated
thanks

We're going the same time. I'm going to pack shorts and t-shirts, and jeans, and fleece and long-sleeved shirts too. I'm figuring on cold weather in the morning, warming up in the afternoon and getting chilly again in the evenings. I've bought disposable ponchos for all of us too.

Because we have to bring bulkier items, I'm just planning on doing laundry, since we really can't fit as much in our suitcases as we would if we were going in the warmer months. But I don't mind!! Leaving in 13 days!!

I was thinking of going the shorts route but dh thinks it will be too cool for shorts and we'll need pants or capris (for the girls) Definately jeans and fleece for morns and evenings - we've got rain poncho too !

Duffy - thanks for your input and where are you staying?

We're staying Feb. 1 through the 6th at the Wilderness Lodge. My husband and daughter got to go to Yellowstone this past August, and I couldn't go. So I picked the hotel that would make me feel like I am there!

We really like Epcot though, so we're going to spend the next 3 nights at the Dolphin--I got a killer of a deal using spg.com points. We booked 3 nights for $60 a night, plus 4,000 points each night. Total of $180 and 12,000 points for 3 nights.

We've never had a split stay, though, and I don't know which hotel I'm looking forward to most.

We'll be there Jan.30th-Feb.5th and I'm also packing a little of everything for the trip and I'm planning on having to do laundry too. We just don't have room for a whole weeks worth of clothes of all kinds!

Khaki or jean pants with layered tops... s/s t-shirt with a sweater or hoodie over it.

When we went in early Dec. two years ago, we packed gloves. Sometimes at night, our hands were a little cold and having gloves while riding on Thunder Mt. made it much more enjoyable. Plus gloves didn't take up a lot of room.
