I'm just going to make a big list:

• Definitely bring a cardigan or lightweight hoodie for eating out at night.  Restaurants and hotels can be super chilly due to the air conditioning and a lot of people think Florida is hot and forget this.


• Theme parks get GROSS.  It's hot and sticky, you will probably get wet if you ride a water ride, and you'll be doing a ton of walking.  Wear something comfy, even err on the side of unfashionable if you have to.  Remember whatever you are wearing you will most likely get tan lines in so don't wear a shirt with weird straps.  Bring sunglasses and you may want a long strap bag so you won't have to worry about carrying it all the time.  As for shoes, I usually wear comfy flip flops because sneakers can get wet or be hot, but definitely wear something really comfy to walk in. 


• Orlando is super casual so I don't think you need to bring anything really dressy.  Casual heels and skirts is about as fancy as I would go, except maybe a really casual sundress if you have some place to wear it.


• We have a ton of outlet malls here so if you're interested.  You also need to go to the Mall at Millenia while you're here.  It has all the really nice designer boutiques (LV, Chanel, Choo, etc) and then mall stores like Anthro, UO, Neimans, Zara, AE etc etc.  It's really pretty too .

PM me if you have any specific questions (I live in the area if you couldn't tell) .
