Need to make sure that the kids are prepared and traditionally what we can expect during that time of year. Gloves?? Do we really need them? Thanks and Aloha from Hawaii!!!

Don't worry to much about rain gear tho you can buy parkas pretty cheap at any store. What island are you from? I love Hawaii and we vacation there every year.

I would recommend you just bring a light sweater to wear until you can get to a local mall or target to buy sweatshirts if you need them. It is difficult to be very difinitive about temps this time of year, so it might be wise to check on-line weather just before coming. <a href="http://www.weatherforyou.com/weather/california/orange+county.html" target="_blank">http://www.weatherforyou.com/w...nty.html</a>

If it's not hot .. then it would hover around 75-79 degrees during the day. But the evenings .. it's a sharp drop into the 50s .. and even 40s. So it's wise to have warm gear for the evenings. Day time .. keep the light clothing handy - t-shirts, and shorts.

Guess with our luck the last two times there, just wanted to make sure that the kids were taken care of. Last time I had to carry 6-7 bottles of water everyday into the park. The cast members at the gate made it a point to tell me that it was a lot of water I had in my bag. Just told them, with my boy having a fever, we gotta do what we gotta do. oh well. 8ilm8: I live on Oahu and the wet, Windward side of the island.
