What To Pack For Your Orlando Vacation

Are you looking forward to an upcoming vacation to sunny Orlando? It’s one of the best places in the United States to visit. There are so many parks, places to eat, and live shows to see. Plus, you can’t beat the year-round amazing weather.

Packing is one of those things that can seem stressful at the time. Some people end up overpacking (and carting around all that luggage is no joke). While other people end up underpacking and not having enough when they arrive.

That’s why we created this guide for you. We want to help make your vacation planning go as smoothly as possible.

What Not to pack when you stay at sunshine villa

The really amazing thing about staying at Sunshine Villa is that since it’s a vacation home, there are lots of things here already. Here is what not to pack, since it’s already here at the house.

  • Board Games

  • Clock Radios
  • Hairdryers
  • Iron/Ironing Board

Forgot Something? Don’t Worry!

If you arrive at the villa and realize you forgot to pack something, you don’t have to worry. We are just a few miles away from both a Walmart and Publix supermarket. Some people actually prefer to pack light and buy disposable things (like sunscreen and ponchos) when they arrive.

Now that you know what to leave at home, let’s look at what you should pack. To make it easy, I’ll break it down by season so you can pick out what to pack based on when you are visiting.

What To Pack in the Winter

Winter in Orlando starts around December and ends about March.

And the wintertime is when it’s the rainiest here in Florida. Always pack an umbrella, some ponchos, and closed-toe shoes.

You should always pack sunscreen. Even if it’s cloudy outside and not at all warm, the sun can still cause damage.

Here’s a winter packing list.

  • Sunscreen
  • Long sleeves
  • Light jackets or hoodies
  • Ponchos
  • Bug spray
  • Extra socks
  • An extra bag for bringing back souvenirs

When you go out, bring a large bag or backpack, that way, if it does get warmer, you can just put your hoodie in your bag.

Here’s what to bring to Orlando if you are visiting in the spring:

  • Sunscreen and sunburn products
  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Pool clothes (swimsuits, coverups)
  • Raingear (umbrellas, ponchos)
