If you're heading to Walt Disney World in April 2025, get ready for a month of generally warm weather, with temperatures staying fairly consistent throughout the month. Are there a few surprises in the forecast? Read on to find out. How to Dress for April Weather at Disney WorldHere is what you need to know when planning your outfits and packing for your April Disney World vacation.Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in April 2025The weather forecast for April 2025 at Walt Disney World is looking very good. Daytime highs are expected to range anywhere from 79°F to 90°F (26°C to 32°C), with nighttime lows ranging anywhere from 68°F to 75°F (20°C to 24°C). The month of April in Orlando is expected to be incredibly consistent overall. Generally, you can expect sunny or mostly sunny days in the mid-80°Fs, with very comfortable evenings and nights in the low 70°Fs. Heading to late night extra magic hours? No need to add layers in AprilApril 2025 should bring near perfect weather for your Walt Disney World vacation.If this weather pattern holds, rain should not be an issue. At this point there are only a handful of days where rain is expected and overall, April 2025 is forecast to be a drier month than the average April in Orlando. If April showers bring May flowers, it's a good thing that Disney already brought the flowers.As always, check the local weather forecast for the Walt Disney World and Orlando areas in the days leading up to your vacation. This will give you the most accurate forecast for your Disney vacation.What to Pack for Walt Disney World in April 2025Building on a very nice month of March, packing for your April 2025 Walt Disney World trip is easy. Pack for a warm, summer-like Florida vacation. The best part is there will be very low humidity compared to the summer months. No need to worry about your clothes sticking to you.UV, however, will be hovering around 10 almost every day, so bear that in mind. You can confidently pack your favorite warm weather clothing, including shorts, t-shirts, dresses and so on. Whatever you normally like to wear for a warm sunny day in the parks is going to be perfect for April. Evenings will be quite mild, so you won't need a hoodie, sweatshirt or light jacket to keep warm (although if you like to wear them, you should be okay to do so after dark without being too hot). Packing for Events at Walt Disney World in April 2025Another consideration for Disney World packing is what to wear for special events or holidays.So what events are happening at Walt Disney World in April 2025?The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing in April. This year's event is quite good, with plenty of blooms, food and drink to go around. So, if you want to pack a floral or nature-inspired outfit for the festival (or just your favorite flowy spring attire), this is the place to do it.Plus, the Garden Rocks concert series (the musical part of the Flower and Garden Festival) features popular retro bands every day. Got a favorite concert t-shirt that you love to wear? It will fit right in at EPCOT.Other Walt Disney World events to be aware of in April 2025 include the runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend (April 3 to 6), which features a 5K, 10K and 10-mile race, among other things. Beware of extra crowds and potential road closures for this one.Plus, the big event of the month is Easter, which takes place on Sunday, April 20. Easter is another fun event to pack a special outfit for, especially if you will be lucky enough to staying onsite on Easter morning.

If you're heading to Walt Disney World for Spring Break in March 2025, get ready for a month of generally warm weather, turning warmer as the weeks progress. Are there a few surprises? Yes. Here's what to watch for and what to know when you pack for your Disney vacation.Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in March 2025The March 2025 weather forecast for Walt Disney World has daytime highs ranging anywhere from 64°F to 86°F (18°C to 30°C), with nighttime lows ranging anywhere from 50°F to 72°F (10°C to 22°C ). The month of March in Orlando is expected to begin with a weather rollercoaster in the first week (with daytime temperatures swinging from 64°F to 86°F), but then settle into a pattern of more stable highs and lows as March progresses. Most of March 2025 at Walt Disney World is expected to have daytime high anywhere from the upper 70°Fs to low 80°Fs. So, all in all it promises to be a pretty pleasant March for a Walt Disney World spring break vacation.The long-range forecast is for mostly sunny weather as well, with rain not expected to be a big factor. Yes, there will be periods of rain here and there, but nothing that should completely wash out your vacation.What to Pack for Walt Disney World in March 2025March in Orlando can mean varying outfits and styles are required if you really want to round out your wardrobe. Fortunately, it looks like cool weather clothing won't be a necessity, at least not as much as in some past years. Plan to pack for sunny, warm weather. That means your favorite shorts, t-shirts, dresses and so on are all good-to-go. Even the evenings shouldn't be too cold, so at most you might want to pack a hoodie, sweatshirt or light jacket. Events at Walt Disney World in March 2025Packing for the weather isn't the only consideration. Any Disney traveler knows that adding an outfit or two to match what's happening during their stay can be a fun way to travel.So what's happing at Walt Disney World in March 2025?The big event to style an outfit is the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, which kicks off on March 5. This event is as much about food and drink now as it is about gardening, plants and landscaping, so there are lots of opportunities here to style an outfit for the occasion. Plus, the Garden Rocks concert series brings a sonic addition to the festival, making it a great time to break out those retro concert t-shirts you have in your closet. Bonus points if you have one for one of the acts taking part in the 2025 edition of Garden Rocks.St. Patrick's Day (Monday, March 17 this year) is another fun time at Walt Disney World, especially at Disney Springs, but also at Hollywood Studios, resort hotels and more. If you want to take part in the festivities, you won't be alone if you style an outfit with shamrocks, green and St. Patrick's Day accessories.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Disney Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original Disney-inspired clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies, dresses, swimwear and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and have a magical day!Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo
The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is the unofficial signal that Spring has arrived (the 2025 edition runs from March 5 to June 2) at Walt Disney World. Not only that, the Flower and Garden Festival is a dream for fashion lovers who want to blend style with the beauty of nature. With stunning floral displays, outdoor kitchens and vibrant character topiaries, this festival is the perfect backdrop for stylish outfits that embrace springtime aesthetics. Top 10 Ideas for How to Style an Outfit for the EPCOT Flower and Garden FestivalWhether you're a Disneybounder, a casual park visitor, or a fashion-forward festival fan, here are 10 reasons why the Flower and Garden Festival is the ultimate EPCOT festival for fashion—with some outfit ideas to match!1. Blooming Florals EverywhereWith EPCOT overflowing in breathtaking flowers everywhere you look, this is the perfect time to embrace floral prints, embroidered details and pastel hues.Style Tip: Opt for a breezy floral sundress or a linen button-up with floral embroidery. Pair with comfortable sneakers or sandals to stay stylish and comfy all day.2. Instagram-Worthy Photo SpotsFrom colorful butterfly gardens to vibrant Disney topiaries, every corner of the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is a fashion photo-op just waiting to happen.Style Tip: A flowy maxi skirt with a fitted tank top and a subtle Disney or garden-themed denim jacket makes for a stylish yet effortless look that really pops in photos.3. Warm Spring Weather Calls for Effortless LayersFlorida spring can be warm during the day and breezy at night, making lighter clothing layers a festival essential.Style Tip: A lightweight jacket, cardigan or kimono over a graphic tee (subtly Disney-inspired, of course) will keep you comfortable from morning to evening.4. Garden-Inspired Accessories ShineDon't forget to accessorize. Flower crowns, leaf-shaped earrings and nature-inspired accessories will all blend perfectly with the festival's theme.Style Tip: Try a floral headband or Disney festival ears, or even a straw hat paired with a relaxed Disney tee and shorts for a chic, nature-inspired vibe.5. Butterfly Gardens Make Wings TrendyThe Flower and Garden Festival's Butterfly Garden is a magical place that makes butterfly-inspired fashion feel right at home.Style Tip: A pastel-colored flowy blouse paired with butterfly-shaped earrings or embroidered denim adds a subtle nod to this whimsical theme.6. Flower and Garden Festival Merch Inspires Outfit CoordinationEach year, the festival releases limited-edition apparel featuring characters like the Florida Orange Bird and Figment—perfect for styling a full festival fit. So if you want to wait until you're onsite to complete your outfit, this is the way to go.Style Tip: Pair an Orange Bird festival tee with a breezy skater skirt and white sneakers for a playful yet stylish look.7. It's the Best Festival for Pastel LoversSoft, dreamy colors dominate the festival, making it the ideal time to wear pastel shades that complement the scenery.Style Tip: Lavender, mint, baby pink and sky blue look stunning in photos. A pastel Disney crewneck t-shirt with biker shorts and chunky sneakers is the perfect comfy-chic combo that will look great in photos and videos.8. Flower & Garden Inspires Cottagecore VibesFrom honey-themed food booths to whimsical gardens, this festival is a dream for cottagecore fashion lovers.Style Tip: A gingham dress, lace-trimmed socks and a cozy cardigan with subtle Disney embroidery create the ultimate cottagecore Disney look.9. Festival Outfits Can Be Playful & FunUnlike other EPCOT festivals that lean into rich or dark tones, the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is all about playfulness and lighthearted themes.Style Tip: Embrace fun prints, detailed graphics and quirky Disney accessories—like a daisy-shaped bag or floral Mickey ears. 10. The Best Disney Fest for HatsWith the Florida sun shining bright, the Flower and Garden Festival is the ideal event to show off stylish headwear—whether it's a wide-brimmed sunhat, a bucket hat, or a cute pair of floral Minnie ears. Hats not only add personality to your outfit, but also provide essential sun protection while you explore.Style Tip: Opt for a neutral or pastel-toned hat that complements your outfit rather than overpowers it. Pair it with a breezy button-down shirt or a lightweight Disney-inspired tee for a relaxed, chic vibe. The 1923 Main Street Flower and Garden CollectionLooking for more inspiration?

WDW Radio # 714 - The Orange Bird - From the WDW Radio Archives I visited the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival this week, and love seeing old friends... not just wandering and grazing the promenade with me, but old friends from Walt Disney World's past... and present. In recent years, we have seen a resurgence in nostalgia, sentiment, and love for our little purple friend with childlike innocence, Figment, as well as our favorite combination of fruit and fowl, the Little Orange Bird. And in the past 50 years, we've seen some pretty interesting things at Walt Disney World: A waterskiing Goofy, gunfighters shooting it out in Frontierland, singing fruit, a rapping Mickey and much more. But until 2011, many people didn't know who the Orange Bird was, let alone remember seeing a character walking around in Adventureland with a giant orange head, leaves for arms and a green stem sticking out of his head. It started with a slow release of retro merchandise in Magic Kingdom, and in 2012, the Orange Bird returned to Sunshine Tree Terrace signage and quirky drink cups, and a new line of Orange Bird merchandise started to appear on the shelves! Also, an Orange Bird statue that was on display at Sunshine Tree Terrace in the 1970s was retrieved from the Walt Disney Imagineering Sculpture Studio in California, and is now on display in full, orange glory. This rekindled a sense of fond remembrance for our little orange friend, and now, he is not only present in our memories, hearts, and Adventureland, but is a huge fixture at this year's Festival in Epcot. He has inspired not just a huge line of merchandise, but even some food items as well. So I went back into the WDW Radio Archives this week to 2011 and Show #250, where Jim Korkis and I took a look back in time at the Sunshine Tree Terrace and it's one-time host (and hostess). We explore the origins of the Orange Bird, the Sherman Brothers song, why he and Anita Bryant may have flown the coop, and the (then) recent resurgence of our little orange friend. I'll then pose a question for you to share your thoughts on as well. Do you remember seeing the little Orange Bird in Adventureland in the 70's? Did you ever get a photo with the walk around character? Share your memories, and thoughts about this old and new unofficial mascot for the parks in the WDW Radio Clubhouse at WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse, or call the voicemail at 407-900-9391 (WDW1) and share your story on the show. But for now... sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode from the Archives on the WDW Radio show. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse - Join the community and conversation on Facebook WDWRadioNATION - Get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch and chat LIVE Wednesdays at 7:30pm ET WDWRadio.com/Podcasts - Show notes, past episodes, links, and photos WDWRadio.com/Events - WDW Radio Disney meets, events, cruises, and more!
