You're lucky! I teach so we have to go during summer (aka hot and sweaty) season.
My kids have picked out houses to buy nearby so we can move closer and go all year round.
Yes very lucky but last year in October we had a rude awakening..it was 95+ with heat indexes 105+ Almost every day while at WDW 10/13-10/26. We know what that's like because our summers at home are scorching and humid so we try to avoid that at WDW by going in the fall Oct- Dec. Well we felt like we were back into summer with those temps. It was the first time in years we had weather that hot at WDW in the fall. We had 80-85 in December before but not 95+ With heat indexes 105+ in mid -late October.
Not not out of the question at all. We have often had 80+ degrees in December and also the pools are heated.

Worst case scenario: Use the hot tubs and pretend they're pools. Just try not to splash :x

I think it all depends.. when we have lunch at the brown derby, we wear park clothes but make sure they are a nicer pair of shorts and shirt. Once they told my husband at Monsuier Pauls that he needed a collared shirt to eat dinner there so we bought one at one of the stores. so I always make sure the boys wear collared shirts on days of signature restaurants.. One we had dinner at California Grill Our luggage was delayed and we had to wear our clothes from the plain, felt a little uncomfortable but they let us in

Yes I have heard they have those if needed but women if dressed inappropriately they can't just give a jacket and tie to. Haha.
Ties are not required at V&A, but jackets for men are.
Most of the time, if necessary, you can find something that will get you by in the shops in the GF that can get you by in V&A, except for a men's jacket. I have seen slacks, dress shirts (albeit with a mickey embroidered on them), and womens sun dresses. You have a pretty good shot of being able to find somethine acceptable to V&A in the GF shops - you may pay through the nose for it, but the option is there.

Yes agree their gift shops have a nice selection of merchandise as I usually shop there during our trips even if we are not staying at the GF.
We plan to do V&A's eventually but will of course arrive appropriately dressed.

In park signatures: I have worn shorts and tank tops or t-shirts with no problem
Out of park signatures: I wear shorts and a blouse or a casual dress. I always wear flip flops.
My husband wears chino shorts and t-shirt or polo
The only problem we have had is they have asked him to take his hat off while waiting for a table. I thought that was kind of weird since we were not seated yet. He always takes his hat off at the table.

Grin - first, let me explain that I'm a bit old....
.But things don't change QUITE as much as we think.... really a LADY may pretty much wear anything tasteful. No argument with this.... personal opinion? This is as it should be
.Now - I STILL love the "Gentlemen with Hats" thing
. This sort of goes back to the early 1900's . again - NO GRIPE - Gentlemen have routinely removed their hats upon entering a Dining Establishment, for a VERY LONG time
.Notice that Ladies do not have to? Again - NO GRIPE .... all is right with the world
. At least for an older person, like me .So - the question in my mind: "How modern ARE we?". And is anyone truly upset by a few gender deferences designed to respect the desires of a wonderful Female Companion?
Now, I'll probably get into some form of trouble..... so again, no offence to anyone, all personal opinion from a fairly old male, I'm not right, you aren't wrong.....

Exactly! I can't imagine going to a nice dinner after being sweaty all day. That's a really gross feeling! We left the parks in the afternoon everyday so we could all go "freshen up" and head back before dinner.

I gave no argument with that position at all if you're talking about the resort signatures.
But I would not expect a guest who has spent the day in a park to go back to their resort and then return to that park for an in park signature dinner. Would I do that if I was taking an afternoon break? Of course. But would I break up my day for a lunch or dinner at a park signature for the sole purpose of a shower and change? Nope. We will wear something a little nicer, and stop off in a bathroom to do a quick tidy up, but that's it.

Actually, we did that everyday no matter where we ate. It gave us a chance to rest and get our energy back to go at it again. (We were there at opening and closing for every park.) But to answer the original question, I don't think anything in Disney is too dressy. Once my husband changed into a button Hawaiian shirt, but that was about as dressy as we got lol.

Cargo shorts are never okay.

Plus you have to remember Florida isn't like a place like NY for example. Dressing even away from the parks for a woman still tends to be a sun dress of some sort and "nice" sandals. It's just the culture here.

LOL! They come in handy at trips like this though.

I totally disagree. I wear them regularly into the parks, and upgrade to a collared golf shirt for a meal at the CG. I've never felt even a little bit out of place.

It was a joke, like "you shouldnt even own cargo shorts, let alone wear them to a nice restaurant." But we live in a culture where people wear pajamas on airplanes, so there you go...

Gotcha. And for the record, I've never worn pajamas, anywhere - even to bed!
