We just got back from a 6 day trip and I was concerned due to weather forecasts predicting rain and cooler weather for a few days. I DID pack some rain ponchos just in case -- which stayed in the luggage, we all wore jeans, sweatshirts and longsleeved shirts on the plane and I packed an extra pair of sweat/windpants for each of us.

We wore shorts, short sleeved shirts and tennis shoes/sandals every day. Never touched the long pants or sweatshirts. I had enough shorts for each day; however, I mainly stuck to cargo shorts, so I wouldn't have to bring a bag into the park and go thru the security bag check. Small wallet in one pocket, camera clipped to a belt loop, hand sanitizer/wipes in another. Was sooo easy. I did see that some people had lanyards with wallets or little pouches to hold the room key passes, id and a credit card.

Thing I took that we needed -
extra batteries for the camera (in our park bag luckily as they needed changed halfway through the day)
Rain ponchos - for some of the rides - though ironically I never took them to HS as no water rides and it was the only day it rained!

Best Tip I followed -
Take a picture of your Disney photopass incase you lose it so you can still get your photos when you get home - I read this tip and luckily followed it as I lost the first one

And just go with it and be prepared to go offplan if you need/want to

Have a fantastic time!

We went last year from March 3-10 and the weather was so crazy!!! The first half of the week the temperature was ok but the wind made it so cold. The second half was very nice with the last day being the only real day that warranted shorts.

We are leaving in 13 days for another week long trip and I am going to pack half and half for clothes, probably capris for me and my daughter.

As far as items that I don't leave home without - Immodium (you never know how some of that food will agree) and Children's Motrin. The last two times we were there both my kids ended up with fevers and it is just insult to injury to pay $10 in the gift shop - LOL!

Have a great trip!!!
