What to wear

[Cricket0619]

We will be going to Disney in February and just curious if anyone has an ideas of what to wear that time of year. Thanks!

After we went in October I swore the next time I would bring and wear only wicking t-shirts because I got so hot and sweaty.  We just got back and I foolishly thought it would be less hot and humid in December but I was wrong.  Next time I'm bringing moisture wicking shirts for sure.  I also love tennis skorts.  Don't look cheesy like shorts but also prevent chafing.

I think at that time of year you have to be prepared for every type of weather. We went in Jan last year and needed a jacket everyday. But I know it's also been really warm during that time as well.

We are leaving in 14 days and I'm still not sure if I should pack jeans or shorts!

We went last January and wished we had hats and gloves. Two of the days were freezing and some days we were in shorts, so definitely bring layers.

we are also leaving in 2 weeks and I have no clue what to pack for me. the kids are easy but I hate shorts since I've gained weight and nothing really fits.

Layers for sure. We usually go in December, and it varies. Some years we were in shorts and tshirts, other years we needed hats and gloves.

My plans right now are to pack leggings and loose fitting tunics. My MIL bought me LLR castle leggings - please don't judge! Haha! Unless it's extremely hot, that combo keeps me comfortable in a variety of temps.

What about dresses? I tend to feel better in them, and you can wear bike shirts underneath for getting in and out of rides.

Definitely plan for a range of temps. We've gone twice in a February and needed both pants/light sweaters and shorts on each trip.

I've been once in Feb and the weather was all over the place. It was in the 80's and sunny for the first half of our trip and then it dropped down into the 40's for the rest of the trip. It got so cold one night that we broke down and bought fleece pullovers and a blanket to stay warm.

Same here for our MLK week last year. I typically wore shorts, a t-shirt, a heavy sweatshirt and gloves in the morning, mainly b/c I couldn't bring myself to wear pants at Disney. It just didn't seem right.


The kids did wear sweat pants, t-shirts, either fleece jackets or hoodies (depending on how cool it was in the morning, some mornings it was in the 30s), gloves, and hats. By mid-day, we'd all strip down, so I needed a backpack to carry all the extra layers we took off b/c it was overflowing the bottom of the stroller.

Lol, zarapipe isn't judging your choice of LLR. I saw a lot of leggings with tshirts or dresses last month at WDW. I agree w/everyone who recommended layers. The temps could range greatly throughout the day. Definitely bring a warm fleece jacket and close toed shoes.

lol darn right I won't. I love my LLR but I'm short and chubby and the TC leggings start falling down after I while and I start chaffing if I walk a lot. tmi

Definitely a range of temps! We went a few years ago in mid February. I was not prepared for really cold temps. It was SO COLD the first night! It was in the 30s and we had to be on the water to go from ft wilderness cabins to get to the monorail to make it to our dinner. I was lucky I at least had a zip up fleece with me and layered but I was still freezing. We also accidentally brought dd's winter coat (dh and I left ours in the car at the airport). Turned out it was a lucky accident!

Our first full day at MK was in the 40s. Again layered a bunch but still chilly especially by evening. Finally it warmed up and I was wearing a dress a couple days later!

I wore everything from jeans/sneakers/layered tops with fleece to tank tops and dresses with flip flops.

We are going in 17 days (can you tell I'm excited lol) and my current plan is layering. Leggings, tshirts, sweatshirt or fleece coat, hat, gloves. I'm def going to bring some shorts but I'll look at the weather before we leave to determine how many pairs. if the weather seems to start off in the 40s, peak in the 70s, and then go back to the 40s, I think I'll be okay in leggings, but if it is going to get into the 80s I'm going to need something cooler. Even checking this week and the weather seems to be all over the place.

It was easier in a way when we went in September - it was just hot, lol.

Our last 2 trips were February. The temps ranges from really warm (80's) to chilly. I think only one day was chilly and rainy (50ish). So a variety of clothes and layers like others have said.

Although I always find it amusing that my PA family is there and in shorts/tshirts in the 60's and other people are in pants/hats/jackets. I know it is all relative, but when you are coming from 20, 60 is nice and warm.

[buckeyegirl]

We go in a week and a half and the highs are 78-80 so we'll be in shorts and bring warmer layers for the top

We have gone twice in February. The first time, temps were high for that time of year, high 70s and low 80s. The last time, temps were more on average--60s-70s. I wore short sleeves and capri cut pants. I brought a sweatshirt for the morning but was able to shed it very early in the day. DS wore short and a T shirt, as did my H.
