I wish I had one to share.....guess I should be working on that pretty soon!!

I'm still forming my list and will start packing the nonessential stuff plus my kid's stuff today and tomorrow. One thing that I remember someone wrote was to bring a hat and a pair of gloves for nights that get a little chilly. The outdoor rides can make hands and heads a little chilly. I plan on doing laundry one day there so I will basically pack for 5 days with an extra shirt for the adults and 2 extra shirts for my sons. We always pack extra socks and underwear in case of accidents. You can always quickly wash something in the bathtub and leave it overnight to dry. We've done that before. So depending upon when in Dec. you are going, pack for both warm and colder days. Also, chapstick, lotions, and the usual stuff. Sorry my list couldn't be more organized for you. If I come across any other websites I will post them later on.

I'm leaving the day after tomorrow and I'm packing two pairs of jeans, two pairs of capri pants, and two pairs of shorts. I've packed mostly short sleeved t-shirts, but I have at least one long sleeved t-shirt, too (I packed two weeks ago and I'm having a hard time remembering). My key thing is a zip front, hooded microfleece jacket. I figure it's light enough that it won't be too hot, but between the fleece and the hood, I should be plenty warm just in case. I'm coming from a cold climate, so I'll also have a waterproof unlined parka with me if the weather takes a turn for the weird. I'm bringing a pair of those stretchy gloves, too, but that's more for the time between the parking structure and the terminal at my home airport.

I haven't traveled to WDW at a colder time, so I don't know if this is the ideal packing job, but I think I'm prepared for just about anything. Flip-flops and a Gore Tex parka. It all seems very strange.

I'm packing kind of like the PP.

2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs capris, 2 sweatshirts, etc.

going to do laundry while I'm there...and I'm coming from WNY...so it will feel heavenly no matter what the temp, I'm sure!

 

[D L and K's Mom]

I also packed shorts, tee shirts, capris and some jeans for the kids. I also packed a few pairs of sweatpants to slide over the shorts if it gets cool. We all have zip up sweatshirts and thin fleeces. We brough a hat and a pair of gloves for each of us. We were there one other time in December and we FROZE at Fantasmic. We had to buy towels to wrap around us. It was windy and the "spray" of mist was sooooo cold!!!!! I will know better this time!

 

[petrymom]

List? Am I supposed to make a list? Uhoh!!! I guess I am in trouble.

 

[jillyjoey]

I haven't made a list yet either and the fact that we are flying has seriously limited what we can take -- so I will be heading to the laundry room too at least 1X.
Here is what I have so far:
Clothes-wise: capris, shorts, jeans, sweater or sweatshirt, l/s shirts, s/s shirts -- (jackets that we will have on when we leave Nashville and hopefully won't have to wear until we return), bathing suits (just in case), gloves (I bought some pretty cheap at target the other day -- they will be considered disposable- they were knit 2 for under $2.00. Kids have matching Disney Store personalized sweatshirts. DD will take her Cinderella costume for BBB. Haven't determined how many clothes -- I guess it will depend on how much I can cram in our suitcases.

Other stuff: my Disney info package; tons of wet ones, plastic storage bags.

Any ideas of what I am forgetting? Do I need sunscreen this time of year?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was there last Dec and again in January and almost froze. I'm only bringing four pair of shorts and a few short sleeve t's, but mostly fleece, cordoroy, sweats, jeans, and a jacket. I've got three pair of gloves (in case I lose a pair again ), a scarf, warm socks, and a toboggan. I may be short on shorts, but by golly I'm not going to freeze my tush off again. Us poor Southerners don't handle cold well and to us the 50's at night are cold.

Do I need sunscreen this time of year?

I would take sunscreen the florida sun is strong. Who knows you may get shorts and tee shirt weather.

 

[Makua]

The poster who said flip flops and a parka has it right! A week or so ago we went from snow flurries to the 80's! So try to be prepared for hot and cold and everything in between. Clothes you can layer will work well. And remember even if the day is warm it can still cool off considerably at night so if you plan on spending the whole day at the parks take jackets and out them in a locker. Of course Disney loves it when you forget them, they sell more sweatshirts!

Thanks for this link. I'll be at Disney over Christmas. It looks like the highs are only 78. No shorts for me.

We were just there and you really need to pack for two seasons - spring and winter (Florida's spring and winter). We had 2 days in the low 80's, 3 days in the 70's, 3 days in the upper 60's, and 1 in the lower 60's and 1 in the upper 50's. We packed for the adults:

6 short sleeve t-shirts
5 long sleeve t-shirts
3 jeans for DH (2 capris and 2 jeans for me)
1 pair of beige dockers for DH
1 pair of beige pants for me
2 sweatshirts
a light winter jacket
1 heavier long sleeve shirt (not a sweatshirt, not a long sleeve tee either)
a poncho (never used thankfully)
hats and gloves (came in handy twice pushing a stroller with cold hands not fun)
1 bathing suit each


My DH also had a few white undershirts.


For our kids we just packed a few more of each because they are so young and could never wear the same pants twice.


We did do laundry once and we were there for 10 days. I did laundry on the 5th day. We weren't cold or hot. We dressed in layers only when we were gone for the whole day. We often took breaks so had a morning outfit and a late afternoon - evening outfit.

Hope this helps everyone.

OOPS! I forgot to add shorts. We did wear shorts. We packed 4 pairs. I only needed three.

That's going to be a tropical heatwave for us...our daily highs are the equivilant of the lows predicted in Orlando right now!

Shorts and pool, here I come!

Thanks for the packing advice, everyone!
