In general the weather in Pasadena this time of year is in the mid-60s during the day and high 40s at night with little chance of rainfall.

For This Trip You Will Need—

• Warm, light-weight jacket — It can be very cold the morning of the parade as well as during float decoration where you will be working outdoors in a mostly covered area.
• Closed-toe shoes are required for the float decoration.

You May Want—

• Old clothes for the float decorating activity. You are likely to get dirty/dusty.
• Thin gloves and warm hat to ward off the chill on float decoration morning and on the Catalina Ferry.
• Clothing that layers. Though we are in California, it is winter and much of the activity on this tour is outdoors. Having several light layered options allows you to adjust for the weather.
• One smart-casual outfit if you'd like to dress up a bit for dinners.
• Swimsuit - the hotel has an outdoor heated swimming pool.
• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping pills, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.

Good Packing Habits—

• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing.
• Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe. 
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of our vehicles and the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own luggage.

• For ease of maneuverability, we recommend you bring only one suitcase, plus small shoulder bag/daypack/purse. 
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings.  

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider: the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks, and your individual shopping interests and habits.

• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel.
• ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining cash; you must know your PIN number for your debit and credit cards in order to use the ATMs.

All tips to local guides during your tour have already been paid on your behalf. 

• You are responsible for tipping wait-staff, porters or other individuals who provide a service to you at the hotel, or other public locations.
• You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $8-$10 per day. 

• There are no single rooms available for this trip. WTT had to reserve and pay in full for the rooms at time of our group reservation, and could not know how many, or if any, single rooms would be required.
• This tour uses a 15-passenger rental van for transportation.
