Best Packing Tips For Your Walt Disney World Resort® Vacation

What to pack, what to pack? Always a tough decision, but it’s really easier than you think for a trip to Walt Disney World® Resort.

Think casual! Park attire is appropriate throughout Walt Disney World with the exception of the more stylish resort restaurants (for dress codes see individual restaurant descriptions), but (with the exception of Victoria & Albert’s) there isn’t a suit or tie in site. In the warmer months of April through October bring shorts, light-colored short-sleeved or sleeveless shirts (darker colors really attract the heat), comfortable walking shoes (bring two pairs to switch off), cushy socks, sunglasses, hat, bathing suit and cover-up, water-resistant footwear, and a rain jacket. Women should bring a light purse or backpack; nothing is worse than lugging a heavy bag around the parks. For evenings away from the park at one of the more sophisticated dining venues dress is resort casual: women should plan on wearing a simple dress, dress shorts, or casual pants or jeans with a stylish blouse and sandals; men will be comfortable in khakis, nice jeans or dress shorts, and a short or long-sleeved collared shirt with loafers or sandals. Only at Victoria & Albert’s is a jacket required for men (tie is optional).

The remaining months are anyone’s guess. The weather is usually mild, but bring an assortment of casual clothing in the form of shorts and comfortable long pants along with short- and long-sleeved shirts, a sweater, hat, sunglasses, bathing suit and cover-up (pools are heated), rain jacket, light jacket for morning’s cool air, and, of course, comfortable walking shoes and socks. For evenings away from the parks, women should wear smartly casual transitional clothing, and men casual pants and long-sleeved shirts. Florida is known (particularly November through February) for unexpected cold fronts that will find you in shorts one day and a winter jacket the next, although it never gets uncomfortably hot. Don’t get caught off guard or you’ll find yourself with, what might be, an unwanted Mickey Mouse motif wardrobe. Check the Internet for a weather forecast before beginning your packing.
