What to Wear to Disneyland in March: Your Perfect Outfit Ideas and Packing List for 2024!

Are you trying to figure out what to wear to Disneyland in March? 

Don’t worry, I’m here to help!

Outside of peak season, Disneyland in March enjoys lower crowd levels and shorter attraction lines allowing you to navigate the park and enjoy the attractions with ease.

But that’s not the only great thing about Disneyland in March!

Spring is on its way making this month one of the best times to visit Disneyland in terms of weather.

Sunny and warm but not so hot that the day is sweaty and exhausting, March is one of those great transitional months when everything is comfortable.

But as the weather in this transitional season can be temperamental, it can be tricky knowing what to wear to Disneyland in March.

It could be warm and sunny when you leave your hotel in the morning but come lunchtime, the skies may have opened and now you’re cold in a soaking wet t-shirt.

Not to worry!

Thanks to visiting Disneyland regularly, in every season and every month, I have the knowledge on what to wear to Disneyland in March.

Lucky for you, I’m not going to gatekeep that knowledge either.

Base layer

For Disneyland in March, you need a base layer.

It can be a short or long-sleeved t-shirt, just something you can strip down to when the temperatures are hot and an extra layer underneath a sweater when it gets cold.

Leggings/Yoga Pants

Shorts are an obvious choice for California but personally, I prefer lightweight, comfortable pants.

Leggings or yoga pants are a great option as they add that extra layer when it’s cooler but are thin enough that you won’t overheat.

A Sweater

March temperatures in Anaheim fluctuate between the mid 50’s and low 70s with extreme unpredictability.

The temperature can also change dramatically throughout the day with cooler mornings and evenings.

For that reason, a sweater or jacket is simply essential.

Waterproof/Water Resistant Shoes

While a rain jacket is great for keeping your body dry, there’ll be no keeping your feet dry unless your shoes are waterproof.

Rain Jacket/Poncho

Although sunshine is typically expected throughout the year and rain is more of a rarity in Anaheim, March is one of the most likely times to rain.

While Disney has multiple Irish Characters including Ducktales’ Chief O’Hara and Thomas O’Malley from Aristocats, I think Irish Disney Bounding is super cool with a Disney Parks theme.

Not only is Redd from The Pirates of the Caribbean Irish but The Enchanted Tiki Room’s Michael is Irish providing you with a whole spectrum of options.
