Even though it is a bit cold in the morning or in the evening, you can enjoy a pleasant swim in the afternoons. If you forget to bring swimwear, you can buy swimwear and other swimming costumes in Orlando.

Extra Layers of Clothes

In the center of Florida, like the colder months, it’s advisable you take along clothes that you can put on top of each other. This may means long-sleeved shirt, sweater, cardigan, jeans and trousers. Of course, some days may be warmer than others. It is also a good idea to wear shorts, hats or other warm clothes. One of the favorite strategies is to wear different layers of clothing such as shirt and vest or sweater shorts when it is colder during the day.

February is still quite an interesting month. And technically, it is still “winter” for Florida. Temperatures are still very high compared to other snowy states. So think about packing clothes and other accessories that work well at low temperatures like low in the 40°F (4°C) area. Of course, if you’re coming from a heavier winter situation, you’re probably used to some of these basic principles.

Comfortable Shoes

When you come to Disney wearing shoes, you have to make sure you wear comfortable shoes. You will walk a lot; sneakers and tennis are the best choices. Even more so perfect for the cold weather.

Remember, ready-to-wear for Disney World also includes other items than clothing, so here are some excellent items for visiting Florida in February.

Jackets and coats: February is still quite cold. In fact, in recent years, temperatures have fallen to 30°F (0°C). Too cold for Floridian tastes! For this reason, it is recommended that you wear at least one light jacket or one winter jacket. If the temperature gets hot, you won’t have to worry. If the weather does get cold, you’ll be happy to have them handy.

Hats and mittens: Nighttime can get cold at Disney. Your head and hands might start to feel a little chilly while waiting out late for a night of fireworks, venturing at night or enjoying those extra hours of magic. Some nice thin gloves and a hat will keep you warm while enjoying all the nightlife that Disney has to offer. If you have kiddos, this is a must for your trip.

Umbrellas and Ponchos: It’s not a bad idea if you room to carry along an umbrella or to stuff a poncho in a pocket. Showers can sometimes be as brief as 15 minutes, however, they can leave you drenched! Be sure to keep an eye on the weather through an app or online to get a sense of what your day may look like. If you simply cannot bring an umbrella, you can easily get ponchos in the parks, resorts or a local store.

Blanket(s): A small cover on your backpack or stroller can be perfect for packing at night while waiting for a parade or fireworks.
