What to wear?

[tinkerbell6]

We're going in mid-March (ooooh, look at that countdown timer! ) and I see the weather can be in the 80's. Does it cool down quite a bit at night? We're thinking probably jeans & t-shirts, with a sweatshirt or light jacket for the evenings. Of course we'll pack shorts just in case it does hit the 80's!

Does that sound reasonable? I remember my last trip to WDW in the 1970's as a kid, in February, that I needed to wear a winter coat as they were having a cold snap! I'm hoping that doesn't happen again!

You should be fine with jeans and a jacket. I took my jacket last year (end of March/April) and I think I only used it once on the boat to Downtown Disney. If it does get colder...just layer on some more t-shirts.

Um...no...you just buy a new sweatshirt! hehehe

and hubby wonders why I can never fit everything back into my suitcase at the end of our trip! heheheh

but to the original poster - you should be fine with what you are describing...can't mess up dressing in layers!

We just got back on 2/22. I was very pleased with the clothes I brought although I packed too many shorts. I think layering is the best advice. I started the mornings off with a short sleeved shirt and a cotton lightweight jacket. Somedays the jacket wasn't needed by around 10am but in the evenings I needed a warm sweater or my fleece jacket. I took 2 pair cotton lycra pants and found them to be perfect. I only wore jeans one night and only 2 days for shorts. The temps were in the 67-71 degrees although our last day (designated as a "pool day" was sunny and 77 degrees) was the best.

I'm from CT and thought the weather was perfect for trekking around the parks.

Don't forget to bring rain ponchos (dollar store!) We didn't have any rain but they were great for Splash Mt and especially crucial for Kali River Rapids.

Have a super trip!
