Depending on the size of your carry on I would suggest extra socks always just because the rain and its no fun to walk around in wet socks unless you are just going to wear sandals. The weather is still most likely going to be pretty warm so you don't have to worry too much about bringing a jacket or anything. I would truly just stick to essentials. Typically you can bring one carry on and one personal bag, I would suggest something like a small backpack or one of those drawstring bags as your personal item, this way you have a good park bag and could probably fit a few more items with you. I also always travel with an extra pair of clothes just in case something happens. It's very doable to fit everything you may think you might need in a carry on if you're doing one bag per person.

Here's what I would pack for an October Disney trip:

ACCESSORIES/SHOES
-At least 2 masks per day (I used 2-3 masks per day -- after being in the theme park and sweating in a mask for four hours you won't want to put it back on, plus safer to put on a clean mask once you take off the used one)
-Related, you can pack some laundry detergent so you can wash your masks in the sink if you want to wear it again
-Hand sanitizer
-Sanitizing wipes (wipe down your hotel TV remote, door handles inside and out, sink faucets, toilet flusher, etc.
-Poncho (always good to have/check forecast before your trip)
-Athletic sandals like Tevas. I love these. I wear Tevas on days it might rain or if I'll be on a water ride.
-Good walking shoes (avoid brand new shoes in case they give you blisters)
-Hat for sun protection and sunscreen if that's important to you (Amazon has inexpensive travel size SPF 50 spray cans)
-I always bring a lightweight drawstring over-the-shoulder bag or backpack for the parks...a great place for water, sanitizer, extra masks, phone charger, snacks, etc.
-Swimsuit if you plan to use hotel pool/jacuzzi
-Snacks (less food options right now)

CLOTHES
-In general, two outfits per day, as if you spend morning/day in the parks, you'll likely want to shower and have something clean for dinner or evening
-Layered tops: tanks and/or t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, especially that are wicking/athletic material that will dry fast if it rains or you get wet from a water ride
-Dresses or shorts that are wicking or athletic material
-If you plan to have a nice dinner out, then make sure you have one nice outfit for that

Thank you for the detailed post, this really helps.

Adding onto what PP said:

Sunglasses, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, moisturizer, lip balm with SPF, comb.

For some people, soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair ties, contact lenses, glasses.

socks. Underwear.

Magic Bands if you have them.

Phone cable and wall charger. Portable charger if your phone doesn’t have a good battery (and the cable to charge the charger).

prescription medications.

If carryon only, I would get sunscreen there.

If you are going to run out of space, you can get ponchos there. Same for hats, but they will be pricey.

The easiest wardrobe item to buy there are t-shirts, if necessary.

We always fly with just a carry on bag and a big backpack (Embark backpack from Target) is rather roomy and fits nicely under the seat. No problems using the backpack on Frontier or Spirit as our personal item. We take 4 outfits because when it is hot you want to change outfit after being hot all day. Swimsuit, PJ and toiletries. Spare pair of shoes. We usually wear tennis shoes since they are bulky and pack the sandals. Snacks such as Pringles and breakfast bars.
