What to Wear in April to Disney World for Women
A big part of what to wear in April for women has a lot to do with your preferred style.
Around the parks in April, it’s totally normal to see women wearing an athletic look with leggings and a tank top or something dressier like skirts and dresses.
If you want to rock a dress or skirt but are worried about heat and humidity contributing to the dreaded chub rub, make sure to pack a pair of bike shorts to prevent chafing.
Because we often experience cooler mornings and evenings in April, a light layer like a cardigan or flannel shirt can be an excellent option to pair with your outfits.
These can be tied around your waist or packed away in your bag if the weather warms up during the day.

Walt Disney World Weather in April
Disney World weather can vary significantly in April. That’s just Florida for ya!
That’s why I recommend checking the weather frequently before your trip so that you have a good idea of what kind of weather to pack for. Trust me on this one.
It doesn’t rain too often in Orlando in April, but it’s still a good idea to pack an umbrella or raincoat so that a surprise rain shower doesn’t delay your day.
And it’s just good to have one because of the crazy Florida weather.

Best Accessories for Your Disney World Outfit
The best accessories for your Disney World outfit might turn out to be the ones you acquire on your park days!
That cool Disney mouse-ear headband you’ve been eyeing, and that cute Loungefly Disney Parks backpack are both contenders here.
Disney also has some nice and affordable jewelry options, like rings, earrings, and necklaces.
Make sure to leave some room in your suitcase for all the goodies and souvenirs you’ll acquire on your trip!
Disney Bounding in April
Thanks to the moderate weather, April is a great month for Disney Bounding.
Disney Bounding is when guests dress up in similar styles as notable Disney characters.
While full-on character costumes aren’t permitted for guests 14 years of age and older, Disney Bounding allows you to style your Disney outfit in a fun way that is allowed in the parks.
While planning your Disney Bounding outfit(s), remember that the weather forecast can change quickly.
So, incorporate a backup layer into your outfit (like a neutral long-sleeve shirt or a matching jacket) just in case you visit Disney World during a cold front.

What to Pack for Disney World in April
If you haven’t gathered already, the weather in Orlando is a finicky thing, and April is no exception.
The weather can vary greatly, with average highs in the low-80s and possibilities for cold fronts that bring temps in the 60s and 70s, as well as sweltering weather in the high-80s and low 90s.
So, when planning what to pack for Disney in April, you will want to keep this in mind.
Because of the uncertainty with the weather, I recommend keeping an eye on the weather forecast all the way up to the night before your trip starts.
Plan some warmer weather outfits like shorts and tanks and some colder weather outfits like long-sleeve tees and long pants.
Then, if the weather flip-flops at the last minute, you will still have outfits picked out!
