Sweatshirt or Jacket evening at the parks February

[mamapenguin]

The lows are supposed to be 47-49 degrees. How would you dress for the evening? I usually travel summer months or WDW. Any advice is appreciated

Here now and it has been chilly. For most of the day I have been wearing a fleece jacket and then at night I put on a fleece headband, thin knit gloves and a blanket scarf and have been comfortable.

My friends and I just spent 3 days and nights in the parks. It was quite cool once the sun went down. We rented a locker for jackets because we weren't sure if a sweatshirt would be enough. By 8pm, we were definitely at the locker getting the jackets as the sweatshirts were not warm enough for us. We also had hats and those of us with gloves were happy to have them--the others just kept their hands in their pockets. For me, my perfect combination was a sweatshirt with a light jacket (windbreaker type of denseness) over it.

I saw a lot of people with just sweatshirts but I also saw a lot with gloves, hats and jackets too.

Next week is supposed to be in the low to mid 80's for highs. Does this still apply (needing jackets and possibly gloves) for nights if the daytime temps are this warm? I'm used to Florida this time of year when we go to WDW in Feb so I'm not sure what to expect with CA.

Just depends on your own tolerance, really. If you get chilly easily, bring a sweatshirt.

Also... Just hearing about those temps is making me extremely jealous. Perfect Disneyland weather!

I am all about the layers. ..shirt ...hoodie. ..then soft shell coat my girls and I often pack leg warmers to put on on Capri days of needed..if it is a sitting night like WOC we bring little airplane blankets. ..I usually have my mini gloves too. Layers are key though them you can add or remove as needed.

I am there next week and we will be renting a locker for cool weather clothes. I would rather spend the $10 for the locker then $70 for a sweatshirt. When that sun drops out of the sky I find it cool in February, no matter what the temps are during the day.

Even in the summer in Anaheim it's good to have a sweatshirt for after the sun goes down. It can get chilly. Very unlike Orlando.

stocking hats and gloves in a backpack will help retain heat with a thick sweatshirt. The thickness of shirt is a determining factor for degree of comfort level. I see many teens wearing those thin hoodies, even with hats, those will not retain the heat. i can wear shorts at night, but always return in the evening with a thick sweatshirt, gloves and hat

It can get windy. I always bring gloves just in case.

Keep in mind, it likely won't hit those lows while you're in the park. That would be more in the middle of the night.

As someone else said, it depends on your tolerance and what your body is used to. I like colder weather so I would be fine in a sweatshirt. Others...probably not.

We were there last February and in my photos, my family is wearing t-shirts and you can see people in the background in winter coats and hats. Ha!

YUP! That would be us, shorts and t-shirts and other people around us all bundled up. However, we'd die in the summer, if we lived there, when it's in the hundreds on a daily basis - so I guess it is just all a matter of what you are used to!

My phone did show 50 degrees at one point tonight, which was 7 degrees above the forecasted low. But it also showed winds and humidity a "feels like" of 48. Several stores still had the AC on past 7pm and I was shivering while waiting at the register. It felt warmer when I stepped outside.
