cindymac11 43 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 To quote Shakespeare, "How doth one pack for November at yon beautiful Fort??" We roll out on Wednesday, and I feel like I have brought clothes to cover winter on summit of Mt. Everest, summer in the Sahara, and everything in between. If feel that maybe, just maybe, I have over done it. Living in Texas means I think anything below 70 degrees in cold. Knowing this fact, REALISTICALLY, what type of clothing do we need for days and some evenings at the park??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sounds like you packed exactly what you need! You never know this time of year in Florida, Saturdays highs were 75, today 84, tomorrow 57. Oh and dont forget your rain jackets, umbrellas, or ponchos it can rain anytime.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 It's Florida in November, so it could be anything. This week the lows range from the 30s-60s and the highs range from the 50s-80s. Prepare for everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Having been at the Fort every November for the last 13 years you packed just right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 If you aren't happy with the Florida weather in November, wait 5 minutes ... it will change. We had 70's and tornadoes this morning with hard freezes forecast for the next couple of days - and then back to the 70's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Also, you need to plan for that range all in the same day. Jackets and gloves in the morning, all the way to shorts in the afternoon, then back to jackets, gloves, and a hat after the sun goes down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
red...Susan 37 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Think layers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 And 2 pairs of shoes! I forgot extras and every time Adam was near a puddle I was yelling (and trying to avoid them myself) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cindymac11 43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 As in cake, which is a dessert, which apple pie is as well. Pack apple pie. So, the apple pie is packed. Everything else is a hot, hot mess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Last Thanksgiving week my outfit was short sleeve shirt, jeans, zip sweatshirt or cardigan sweater, waterproof/windproof jacket, hat, gloves. The least during mid-day and the rest added gradually as the sun went down. I was just reminiscing about last Thanksgiving evening eating a turkey dinner outside at Flame Tree BBQ at AK while wearing all of the above. And having a great time!

fortpartyof4 108 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Ditto to what everyone has said: layers. Also, I love those cheap fleece blankets for evening looping, movie under the stars, and viewing fireworks from the beach. You can drag 'em everywhere and they keep you so nice and snuggly warm, but if they get all dirty you don't care! And they clean up well in the end anyhow. I have several Disney themed ones that stay in the camper. Usually get them at Walmart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cindymac11 43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 So, from this theard I have learn the following: #1: pack all the clothes you own. #2: Bring pie (or cake), but really, pie. :smug: Blonde Bunny 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 A few others have mentioned gloves ... yes, please pack them! I had to buy a pair at the Emporium this last trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I probably wouldn't go outside, never mind eating out side. There was a windchill on top of those temps. After that outdoor meal at AK we went to Epcot to see Illuminations, which I'd never seen before. It was pretty empty as all the wimps stayed inside. But, personally, I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. I guess that's the difference between "can go to WDW any time we want" visitors and "only get to go to WDW every couple of years" visitors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cindymac11 43 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Now I have packing anxiety and just ate a king sized whachamacallit candy bar to compensate. Now I feel disgusting. But a great excuse to use this: :barf: I just need to throw some random crap in the RV and move on. :oregonian_winesmiley: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
