Weather worries!! What do I pack?!?

[DestinationDisney]

My boyfriend and I will be arriving WDW on Christmas day and staying until December 30th.

I've been checking the weather channel website for weather forecasts for the upcoming week in Orlando. The website says that for the time we'll be there the weather will be fluxuating from 79 degrees to 64 degrees.

Now to me, that sounds great because here we are in Jersey with 40 degree weather. However, I keep reading that Florida weather is different and 68 degrees in FL isn't the same as 68 degrees in NJ.

So what do I pack?? I feel so helpless....I still have to wrap gifts, pack, go to a Christmas Eve party and exhange gifts, and be up and ready for our flight on Christmas day. And I still have no clue what to pack or what to wear! I feel like I'm going crazy here!

Please someone....tell me what to do without packing my entire wardrobe!

When you go to Orlando in the winter, you need to pack a little of everything!

For example, it has been pretty warm all week (70s to around 80) but a front is coming through over the weekend and early Christmas week mornings will be in the 40s with afternoons in the 60s. By the end of next week it should get a little warmer again.

I agree with packing a little of everything...Some jeans, capris(if you wear them) short sleeve shirts and long sleeve and a sweatshirt and a jacket. I would just recommend wearing layers, so much easier that way. You could always throw in a load of washif you are running low on something...oh an we always bring our ponchos..lol

I'll probably pack a little of each, but enough just in case its warm for all days or if its cool every day. We have WDW sweatshirts from when we were in Disney this past February that we'll bring with us. I know this sounds dumb...but I don't want to wear the same sweatshirt all week if it gets cool out at night - mainly because I don't want to be wearing the same thing in all of our pictures. I know, silly.

Hopefully it won't rain all day long and just little showers here and there. I'm not so much worried about getting wet, I could care less about that. Its getting nice pictures that I'm most concerned about. I won't even want to take my new DSLR camera out of the bag if its raining.

After this Thanksgiving, my DH has his long underwear he uses when working out, he is going to pack next year. I'll be buying some for myself & DS's. It's very lightweight, won't take up much room for 4 prs.

It was rather chilly & windy when we caught Illuminations.

We were there at Thanksgiving and it was COLD all week prior to Turkey Day, and then it got warm. We froze for three days. The highs were in the low 50's, and the lows in the 30's! GASP! I agree, bring something for every type of weather!
