Planning a trip to Disney World in May 2025? You’re in for one of the most magical—and comfortable—times to visit.
With warm, sunny days, blooming flowers, and crowd levels that are still manageable, May is perfect for showing off your Disney style.
In this ultimate guide, I’m sharing what to wear to Disney World in May, including park-ready outfit ideas, weather-friendly packing tips, and even what to wear for special events like Disney World May the 4th and Cinco de Mayo at EPCOT. Whether you’re into casual cute, full Disneybounding, or just want to stay cool and comfy, I’ve got you covered for every park and vibe.
Disney World Weather in May (and What That Means for Your Outfits)
Expect warm, sunny days with highs around 85–90°F (29–32°C) and mild mornings in the 60s.
Humidity is creeping in, but it’s not peak summer-sticky yet — perfect for breezy dresses, lightweight layers, and cute-but-practical accessories.
☀️ Style Tip:
Think moisture-wicking fabrics, comfy sneakers, and a statement hat or ears that double as sun protection.
💧 You might catch an afternoon rain shower (this is Florida, after all), so a chic rain poncho or foldable umbrella is a smart addition to your bag.
