Thinking about bringing my winter coat... am I crazy???

Well, the forecast seems to indicate that the first evening of Mousefest (on land) will drop to the mid 40's. I'm actually considering bringing my winter coat! Am I crazy??? I really hate to be cold, but will I look completely ridiculous? I bought myself a"fur"-lined sweatshirt to take instead, but I'm afraid that won't keep me warm enough. (Yep, I'm one of those people who wears fuzzy socks to bed!)

I will also be bringing my jacket (it will be cold when we leave from CT) and plan on having my gloves with me, too. I also have added a "turtleneck" to my piles of clothes I am packing. I am going to MVMCP on Thursday, and it appears that it will be chilly. After having temperatures in the 70s (hopefully) during the day, anything 50 or below will feel cold.

I'd definitely bring it. We'll have ours as well, since we will be leaving from a very cold Northern NH.

I've been to WDW twice before during December, and once we NEEDED every warm piece of clothing we had. My girls were bundled up tight! It got down into the upper 20's one night!

We went to Disney last December and tho I had my winter coat in the car I refused to wear it. I was leaving snow, wind, very cold temperatures and refused to wear it in Florida. Im very stubborn tho and we were lucky, we actually had amazing weather for December. I actually swam a couple of days. It got into the high 80's. Have a great trip.

I think you would look smart and a lot of people would be very envious if the weather gets cold enough to need it!

well, you won't be the only one with a winter coat on...i will have mine on and so will my dsd. we also will have hats and gloves on as well and probably a scarf....50's are way cold for us. as everyone above said, you will be VERY glad you have your winter stuff. our weather here can have a 40 degree variation during the daytime...when the sun is out it can get up to 70's or near 80, then the good ole sun disappears and it can get near 40. see ya soon!

You're not crazy!! On our December trips, there were times I wish I had mine (I had a fleece one, but about 5 layers under it)!! We actually bought DD a much heavier coat while we were there because it was so cold (mornings in the low 30s)!!

Oh, I feel so much better now! Thanks for the reinforcement. DH thinks I'm a freak-of-nature bringing a coat to Florida, but I would much rather throw it in a locker than freeze my patootie off!!!
