Packing tips/list for Orlando/Disney Cruise

[ArtyFartyQueen]

Hi All,

Amidst a chest infection, I am trying to pack for our trip to Florida! We are flying out on Sunday, going on a 4 night disney cruise then spending 7 nights at Universal.

Wondered if anyone can share any things that they found useful/essential etc?

My American experience tells me they don't dress up so you should be ok casual and smart casual. What does the cruise line state for dinner? That I reckon would be your only super smart night if they have one.

Other than that what's the weather to be like? I'd just go with shorts, t-shirts, swimmers, jeans and good walking shoes. A poncho for any rainy days that can be packed away. I was in FLorida in January about 8 years ago. Can be chilly so a couple of jumpers. Have fun!

Yep, shorts, shorts and more shorts. Trainers, (or comfortable walking shoes) t-shirts, swimwear. Ponchos (v.thin) are available at all the parks, if you don't have any. It was extremely casual when I was there altho no bare chests for men other than on the beach or poolside, topless women are a bit of a no-no altogether. I saw a beach patrol cop ticking off an English woman who had taken her bikini top off.

I have been to the States three times and have never seen any topless women. It just isn't done. Although I haven't seen many topless women on holiday on the Med recently either. Is it becoming less popular or is it because we tend to go to the quieter resorts?
