With summer on the horizon, there are a few things to consider when packing for Walt Disney World in May. Special events and good weather set the tone for a month filled with Disney fashion and style opportunities.

Heading into the Magic: Packing Tips and Style Ideas for a May Disney World Adventure

As the sun climbs higher and the days stretch longer, the weather for May 2024 looks to be on the warm side, which is not unusual. Get ready for daytime highs around 88°F or 31°C and roughly nine hours of daylight. Nighttime lows are quite comfortable, with temperatures expected to be around 72°F or 22°C. While it may well rain during your vacation, at this time no significant rain events are on the radar. So as always, check the seven-day forecast with a local weather station the day before you leave for Walt Disney World to get the most up-to-date weather information.

From a packing perspective, we're definitely starting to get into the warm weather clothes in May. You can put away the need for any jackets or long pants if you've been wondering about that.

If you like to pack or plan outfits for special occasions, then you're in luck because May is chock full of special events and holidays around which you can get a little creative with your Disney vacation fashion and style.

Some key dates to be aware of for Walt Disney World style in May include:

May the Fourth (May 4): Whether you're a Jedi Knight or a loyal Rebel, Star Wars Day is your chance to let your fandom shine. While full-blown costumes are possible and liked by many, Disney bounding offers a stylish alternative to channel your inner galaxy hero.

Cinco De Mayo (May 5): ¡Viva la fiesta! Draw inspiration from the vibrant world of Disney's Coco and The Three Caballeros as you celebrate this festive day with flair.

Mother's Day (May 12): Show some extra love to the leading ladies in your life with coordinating family outfits or matching accessories that symbolize your appreciation and love for mom.

Memorial Day (May 27): Honor the brave with patriotic colors and Disney-themed tributes as you pay homage to the heroes who've paved the way.

And let's not forget a favorite pièce de résistance: National Wine Day (May 25). Raise a glass and toast to the finer things in life with a touch of Disney elegance. From Mickey-shaped wine charms to Minnie-inspired vineyard chic, there's no shortage of ways to sip in style. EPCOT is the place to be for this one as you sip your way around the world.

So, whether you're traversing galaxies on May the Fourth or raising your glass on National Wine Day, let your Disney style be as magical as the memories you'll create. Cheers to a month filled with laughter, adventure and unforgettable moments at the most magical place on earth.

Packing for your Walt Disney World vacation doesn't have to be stressful or overthought. In fact, it can be fun to pick your Disney outfits and clothes to match your vacation plans and what time of year you're traveling to Disney World.

The Ultimate Packing List for Walt Disney World

If you're flying to Walt Disney World, one of the first things to consider is whether you plan to check a large suitcase or simply go with carry-on. Obviously a larger suitcase will give you more space and you can bring more stuff. But is that a wise move even if you have the space?

If you're traveling with kids, then that means you'll have a few more things to pack. If they're old enough to have their own kid-size suitcase, then that can help. Otherwise, you may be to bring a checked bag or two.

Another important factor is whether you plan to stay onsite in a Disney Vacation Club Villa. Having access to a washer/dryer makes it a lot easier to pack light. You can do a quick mid-week wash and you're good to go.

Walt Disney World Packing List:

Carry-on Suitcase, Packing Light, One Week Stay

• 7 pairs socks and underwear
• 7 shirts (mix and match as you see fit, t-shirts, button-up short sleeve shirts etc.)
• 4 pairs shorts (or skirts or leggings) or 2-3 longer bottoms if a cool winter vacation
• 1 pair pajamas
• 1 swimsuit
• 1 pair flip flops
• Toiletries (shavers, pain relievers, hair care, etc.)

Backpack/Extra Bag

• Wallet, Cash, Cards
• Magic Bands
• Electronics, Charger blocks, USB charging hub, Camera, Laptop/Tablet
• Sunglasses
• Other small miscellaneous items

Other considerations

• Poncho, tiny palm-size travel umbrella

We recommend NOT to pack extraneous items like water bottles, portable fans and so on unless certain conditions are met (as covered in the audio episode). These types of items are usually a waste of space as there are plenty of opportunities all around Walt Disney World to keep cool, get fresh cold ice water for free and so on. Avoid any trinkets that take up space and add weight. Many packing lists include far too much of this type of thing and for most travelers, they are simply not necessary.

How to Pack a Suitcase to Optimize Space

Fold, Roll or Compression Cubes? What's the Best Packing Method?

If you're trying to make the absolute most of the space you have in a suitcase, is rolling your clothes the best way to go?

Flat folding tends to consume more space, although is does have an advantage for collared shirts. In some cases, a combination of roll and fold will work best. Listen to the full discussion and insights in the podcast episode.

There's a lot of attention paid to what to wear in the parks at Walt Disney World, but what about the rest of the time on your vacation?

While some Disney guests do spend most of their time in the parks, there are many who don't. Even if you do make Disney Parks the majority of your time, you probably won't want to wear the same clothes to dinner after a hot and steamy day pounding the pavement in a park.

What to Consider for Non-Park Outfits at Walt Disney World

We call the non-Disney-Parks fashion Disney resort wear. These are the clothes you wear around the resort of Walt Disney World Resort, including your resort hotel, when you're not in the parks.

Obviously for many guests, it's one and the same. They put on one set of clothes each morning and that's what they wear all day, no matter where they go or what they're doing. If that's you, then this post is probably not for you.

But, if you like to dress for the occasion or you simply don't want to be in your sweaty park clothes during a nice table service meal, that's where resort wear considerations come into play (we've covered what to wear in Disney Parks in other episodes and posts).

Top Picks for Walt Disney World Non-Parks Resort Wear

Non-parks resort wear at Walt Disney World allows you to add a little style and flair to your travel wardrobe. While Disney Parks wear really should consider function or form, your Disney resort wear can flip the script and give style the upper hand (of course functional attire is always a wise decision on vacation).

Unless you're dining at Victoria and Albert's, you probably won't have to consider a specific dress code when packing, but depending on what you plan to do and the time of year of your vacation, it's worth putting a little thought into your attire for outside of the parks.

For men, this can mean a nicer pair of shorts and a button-up collared short sleeve shirt or two. This is a great simple outfit that you can wear just about anywhere and be comfortable and in style at the same time.

For women, a sundress or two, perhaps themed to your resort, will make a perfect addition to your Disney vacation packing list. They're flexible enough for multiple occasions and activities beyond the parks at Walt Disney World.

For example, are you planning to have a cocktail and light dinner at the Enchanted Rose lounge, or an evening meal at California Grill? You might want to pack something resort fashionable for those occasions. Ditch the day-worn park wear and freshen up the vibe for your non-park time. It can make a difference in how you feel and put you at ease during your less hectic off time.

Now, if you're planning to do certain other activities outside of the parks, you will have to plan accordingly for those. For example, horseback riding at Fort Wilderness will require some consideration for what you plan to wear. Also, if you plan to golf or foot golf, then a collared golf shirt with appropriate shoes and bottoms will need to be packed (check the Disney Golf website for the latest clothing guidelines).

April is a transition month at Walt Disney World. With spring weather coming into full force and the continuation of the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival there are a few things to consider if you're visiting Walt Disney World in April

April tends to feel less crowded than March, with Spring Break crowds diminishing. There are no major holidays or events in April that will dramatically affect crowds. While temperatures look like they're getting more consistently warm in April, the spring showers are also more likely to make an appearance.

Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World, April 2024

What should you pack and what should you wear for a Walt Disney World vacation in April?

Spring is well on its way in April at Walt Disney World that means daytime highs in the 80s and night time lows in the 70s. For April 2024, the long-term forecast looks to be in line with this, with a few 90s in there and a few upper 60s nights. All in all, you probably don't need any cool weather clothing for your April Disney World vacation. So unless you like to wear a light jacket or jeans even when it's warm, you can safely save some valuable packing space and leave those items at home.

What to Pack for an April Disney World Vacation

The long-range forecast for Walt Disney World in April also looks to be surprisingly dry. This is great, but in Florida rain can brew up at any moment, so always check the seven-day weather forecast on the day before you leave for your Walt Disney World vacation to see what the latest forecast says. Use a local weather station for this and not a generic weather app or service.

Disney Fashion and Style Tips for April

April is a fun season for Disney style. It's definitely starting to lean into summer clothing patterns, so shorts, t-shirts and skater dresses are all fair game.

Amelia loves purple as a color pop for April outfits, while flowers, florals and related fun prints for men and women both work well with both spring themes and the Flower and Garden Festival that is ongoing at EPCOT.

Pool time is in full swing in April at Walt Disney World, so don't forget to pay a little more attention to poolside and pool wear, along with resort wear. Flip flops might not be great for Disney Parks, but you'll want to have them for time around the resort pool.
