All members of your party will need t-shirts or short-sleeved shirts, shorts, underwear, socks, sunglasses, hats and sneakers or other comfortable footwear. If you are interested in using the hotel's pool or visiting Disney's water parks, add swimwear and sandals to your suitcase.
Depending upon personal preference, sweatshirts, windbreakers and pants may be needed when temperatures dip below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Even warm days in March can have chilly evenings, so it is important to pack a variety of clothing that can be layered for warmth. Bulky items, like sweatshirts and jackets, can be worn on the plane instead of taking up room in checked luggage.
Disney doesn't stop when it rains, and neither should you. Visitors flee the parks when it begins to rain, greatly reducing wait times for almost every attraction. Before your trip, look for packable raincoats that fold into the coat's pocket or purchase inexpensive and disposable rain ponchos (found at most drug and dollar stores). The disposable ponchos can easily rip, so you will want to pack extras. Sport sandals, swim shoes and clogs with ventilation holes do not absorb water and will quickly dry.
Vacationers may need shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, combs or brushes, shaving supplies, analgesics, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, feminine protection, makeup, camera, video camera and extra batteries for your electronics. Pack prescriptions and basic medical supplies, like pain killers, in your carry-on luggage. A backpack or other bag is essential for toting sunglasses, sunscreen and raincoats in the parks, especially when traveling with children.
If you aren't particular about the brands you use, you won't have to pack some of the personal care items. All Disney hotels provide shampoo, conditioner, facial soap and bath soap. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash and hand/body lotion are available upon request. The hotels also provide hair dryers and pool towels.
