Weather in Early January?

[Mililani Mom]

Hi,

We're visiting in early January (the 1st two weeks) and have no idea what the weather is like. The last time we went to WDW it was in the 2nd & 3rd weeks of June (and it was hot and humid). I'm not sure how to pack (do we need long sleave tees, long sleave tees + short sleave tee, long sleeve tees + short sleave tee + jacket). Not sure if we need fleece jackets + water proof jacket or if can get away with shorts (or should we wear jeans). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

When we went this past January, it was in the upper 60s to Low 70s during the day. In the evenings, it was a little chilly.

We packed jeans, short sleeves tees, long sleeve shirts, and a warm jacket/fleece pullover. I was comfortable in my jeans all day. If you go out in the evening I would wear a long sleeve shirt and a jacket/fleece pullover. I remember is was cool in the mornings, but the evenings were chilly after the sun went down. Hope this helps some.

Last January we had 80-85 degree days in early January and swam in the pool every day. The year before we wore about four layers early and late every day since it was in the mid-50's to low 60's most of the time. It's been even colder with wind chill. We always bring clothes we can layer -- tank, t's, long sleeve shirts, zip front sweatshirts and jackets, shorts and long pants -- and manage to stay comfortable.

Hi,

(do we need long sleave tees, long sleave tees + short sleave tee, long sleeve tees + short sleave tee + jacket).

Yes!

Not sure if we need fleece jackets + water proof jacket or if can get away with shorts (or should we wear jeans).

Yes again!

You never know what you will get during a winter trip to WDW. The last time we went, one day it rained so hard that we could hardly see to drive...one day it was nice enough to go to Blizzard Beach...and then one morning we had to scrape ice off the windows of the van!!
