What to pack for current weather

[Jax1023]

So we leave on Wednesdayfor 6 days in Orlando. I have no freaking clue what to pack, the forecast keeps changing drastically.

Right now the forecast ranges from highs of 64-74 and lows in the upper 40s and mid fifties.

I had originally been planning to pack jeans, and short sleeve shirts as well as cardigans and a light sweatshirt. I might toss in one skirt, but I rarely wear shorts unless it breaks 80.

Should I be packing more long sleeved shirts and sweaters? I live in Pittsburgh, so its cold here. I'm used to it, I walk a mile to work everyday in the freezing cold. Its like 37 today and it feels warm to me.

We will also have our winter coats (fleeces) with us from travel, so they will be available as a back up in case I'm freezing.

I'm just confused. 60-70s sounds awesome to me. But I see pictures of people who went in similar weather wearing coats, scarves, gloves etc.

Any input??

Thanks

Know someone there now and she packed according to what the weather on-line said and she is miserable because it is a lot warmer and she didn't pack any shorts. I usually google and check out the local TV stations and what they say for the weather and use that as my guide. After listening to the one there now I would pack some shorts and a bathing suit no matter what since weather is so changeable and better to have them than not.

Amen to that! We are in IL (metro St. Louis) and woke up to another 3 inches of snow today. We leave Monday morning, bright and early, will be @ MCO by 10 am.

We always go to WDW in February, the week leading up to President's Day, and have run the full spectrum when it comes to weather! Anything from 20's , to 80's . I am packing a little bit of everything, and will do laundry as needed (we are there 10 days), but given the current forecast primarily paking t-shirts and capris for myself, shorts for DH and boys. I have 2 different thicknesses of hoodies (fleece and jersey type knit), wind pants for the kids/jeans for DH and I/ and some comfy yoga type pants for me. Throwing in a few long sleeved tshirts for all of us, as well as gloves.... and of course swimsuits.

Only 2 more sleeps!!!
