Packing help

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

We are leaving on 2/25 and I have never been this time of the year. I've been looking at the 10 day forecast. It says mid-high 60s. I'm still not sure what to bring. Any suggestions?

The forecast says you will have some evenings in the 40°s. Bring WARM jacket, hat, gloves if you will be outside for activities (fireworks, parades, Fantasmic, etc.) after dark. There is something about cool weather in WDW that chills the bone (and I am from Minnesota!) Trust me on this one.

Unfortunately it is not shorts and t-shirt weather here in Florida yet. The days may be pleasant, but the evenings are still chilly. Make sure you bring some warmer clothing with you.

Have a great time.

we went last year in feb and we were in shorts and swimming. THIS YEAR we leave on march 5 and I have been putting off packing because I want to pack my shorts and tshirts but I know I need to back my "canadian" clothes

So OP what are you packing for days in the park. I was thinking capri or shorts with tshirt and a hoodie? Am I beeing realistic?

When people say warm coat do you mean our winter coats I am in canada but you could think buffalo , ny winter coat? I really hate the idea of packing a touque and mitts but better than buying them I guess. I think this will be my last March trip.

I think they mean a fleece jacket or maybe something that also keeps out the wind. A windbreaker is not warm enough. The cool nights penetrate right through the old bones, it must be something to do with the high humidity.

We too will be there the first week of March and are hoping it'll be warm enough for some pool time. But it's looking doubtful. If a warm front comes through it could end up in the upper 70's. I'm thinking about one pair of capris and jeans with tops that can be layered. Polos with long sleeve tees and a hoodie. Then I'll have a variety of options. And if it really gets warm I'll just have to shop for some Disney clothes.

Actually I meant MORE than a fleece jacket, if the forecast continues to be nights in the 40°s, especially if there is any wind. Walking around might not be a big problem but if you sit or stand for any length of time (parade, Fantasmic, Illuminations) you will be glad to have a winter jacket. When I travel to WDW from Minnesota in winter I usually don't bring along my winter jacket but I did this year because of the forecast and I was SO GLAD as I watched others struggling to stay warm. Hopefully low evenings will not be in the 40°s when you go, but if they are you will be glad for any warm clothes you might have.

We were there last February and it was 40s in the am and warmed up to 70s during the day so layers is a good idea. We would start out with fleece/coats and then peel off layers through the day. We didn't go to any water parks it was too cold but did swim in the pool.
