December weather in Central Florida can call for a little of everything. Lighter clothing may be comfortable during the afternoon, while cooler mornings and evenings can make a sweater or jacket especially welcome.

Your vacation may include plenty of walking, from exploring the Theme Parks to shopping and dining at Disney Springs®. Bring comfortable shoes you’ve already worn, along with enough socks for your stay.

Consider packing a second pair of shoes so you have an alternative if one gets wet. Pajamas, underwear, and comfortable clothes for downtime belong on your list, too.

Planning to swim during your getaway? Add a swimsuit and cover-up, along with any personal swim essentials your family needs.

A well-packed day bag helps keep your essentials close without weighing you down. Start with sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, a hat, and hand sanitizer. A refillable water bottle and rain poncho are useful additions.

Your phone will likely be busy capturing memories and helping you navigate your plans. Bring a portable charger and charging cable so you’re ready for a full day of adventures.

Choose a bag that feels comfortable to carry, and leave some room for a light layer when temperatures change.

Toiletries and everyday necessities are easy to overlook when you’re focused on the fun. Remember your toothbrush, toothpaste, skincare, deodorant, hairbrush, and any glasses or contact lens supplies.

Here are some other items to remember:
