Anyone been to DisneyWorld in February? We'll be there Feb 9 to Feb 13 and trying to think of what to pack. Is it a puffer-jacket weather or will a fleece jacket/jeans be OK. We're from Texas and easily get cold (like mid 70's is pretty cool to me). 2 adults and 2 toddlers .
Any tips?

It depends.
I view Dec/Jan/Feb as winter at WDW, and as such, the weather is highly influenced by fronts that can come from over the U.S. landmass (and from Canada before then). If one of those is dipping down during your trip, you'll probably want puffy jackets (just like the CMs would like to be wearing). Otherwise, you might be fine in shorts, too. I was there a few years back over President's Day, and I don't think I wore long pants at all.

As Drince says, it depends. Feb can fluctuate anywhere between highs in the mid 80s to highs in the 50s. I would check the ten day forecast before you go and see what supposed to be happening. At any rate, be prepared for anything!

When we went in Feb, the best thing we did was dress in layers. It may be 65F or so out, but if you get a stiff breeze going on, especially off of any body of water, you will have a "wind chill" of sorts.
Oh, one more thing... just because it is cooler does not mean you cannot get sunburn. So make sure you pack that sunblock.

I'd just like to say that not all of us Texans are as wussy as you! ;) Of course, I grew up in Washington and Idaho, so I know COLD!!!
As to the weather, February is pretty variable. I'd come ready for everything from 50 to 80. It just kills me to see people lined up for the opening of a park, wearing shorts and tank tops in 40 degree temps! Just cuz it's Florida doesn't mean it's always 80! Take a look at accuweather.com as your trip gets closer and pack accordingly.
