What to wear in May?

First time to Orlando! Size 16 (uk) woman I'm wanting to be comfortable without sweating buckets 😂 Any help or first timer tips please! Thank you

Hi - you are so lucky, all that excitement of a first trip - you will have a fantastic time!

In terms of what to wear, generally anything goes, it's very relaxed in the majority of places. A size 16 is not at all big and you can wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Shorts and t-shirts are probably the most common wear, I am bigger than you and live in them (wouldn't in the UK ). Also Sketchers are invaluable, so comfy, and a little bumbag or hiking type rucksack or shoulder bag you can wear crossways. A couple of dresses for nights out and a pair of sandals, a wrap and a couple of cardies for the evening (or sitting in air con!). Suggest a waterproof, pick up in the pound shop as these fit in your bag easily. Then just a couple swimming costumes, flip flops and beach wrap.

I suggest laying everything out and then removing 50%, you won't need it and you will leave more room for your buys - and you can get everything there!

Any other questions, just ask

Light material skater dresses (I was a size 10 when I went last time and had to wear cycle shorts underneath to combat thigh rubbing) Shorts and tees, maxi dresses. It was really hot but not overly sticky when we went in May 2016. As long as you're comfortable

Whatever you feel most comfortable in, but try and avoid jeans and denim in general, it gets very humid and sweaty! I don't do shorts as I look like Jimmy krankie in them, but I will wear skater style skirts and strappy t shirts.

Thank you! I can't wait huge Harry Potter and marvel fan 😁 I'm 5'3 so I try to stay away from maxi dresses but then I'm thinking if I wear shorts will I my thighs get stuck to the seats haha. I've read about taking a list jacket or so for when restaurants have the air con on. I'm also thinking of wear a bikini top under my clothes for park days for the extra support 😉 Don't want any accidents 😂

I'm only 5ft 4 I found a couple of lovely maxi dresses at gap that didn't trail the floor behind me The most comfy thing I found was the skater dresses, I didn't take enough of them out with me so I'll be buying more this time
