    Default If you were going to spend 3.5 weeks at the beach

    And WDW, how many swimsuits would you bring?

    We don't normally go to the pool that often, so I only have two suits personally. But, I will clearly need more than that for this trip. I also wonder how many the kids should have? I know when we went on vacay last year to a water park that it was good to have 3 and that was only for a week. How many would you bring? We will have laundry facilities for the first 7 days and then not again until the last seven days (so a 10 day gap in between laundry possibilities, though I'm sure we could pay at a laundromat or something). TIA!

    I think 2 is fine. I wear one, then rinse it and hang to dry the next day when in 2nd suit. I lived 5 mins from the beach and never had more than 2 swim suits. In warm weather, it'll dry in one day.

    At least 2, more if you have them.

    I like to have three when we go to family camp for a week. That way I can be sure to have a dry suit even if I went through two the day before and they are slow to dry.

    I would say 3. In a humid climate, they can take a LONG time to dry.

    I would say at least 3. I usually bring 4 when we do Hawaii for 2 weeks. I usually have one "nicer" bathing suit that I only use for the pool or for wearing while walking around under clothes. And then 3 others that would be used at beach or pool.

    I think 2 is plenty.

    I would bring two. It seems like the wet/rinsed one should dry in Florida weather in one day.

    At least three. Let's say you swim late Monday morning, do lunch and shopping in the early afternoon, and do a evening swim. Tuesday you're up early to hit the beach, will Monday morning's suit be dry? I hate damp suits. And don't forget the spillage issue with the kids.
