  • Should You Pack Nice Clothes for Dressing Up at Walt Disney World?

    Should You Pack Nice Clothes for Dressing Up at Walt Disney World?
    Jul 23 2024
    Should you dress up in fancy clothes or a semi formal outfit at Walt Disney World? What should you wear to a Signature Dining restaurant at Disney World? Dressing up in upscale resort wear is definitely doable at Walt Disney World. Here's what you need to know.What does Fancy Style Look Like on a Disney vacation?While a Walt Disney World vacation is most often comprised of hot sunny weather and theme park days, there are occasions where you may want to dress up just a little bit for a night out, or dinner and drinks at a Signature Disney restaurant.In most cases, you don’t need to bring formal wear or even a jacket and tie, unless you really want to. It is rare to see guests dressed up to that degree, unless they are part of a wedding party or heading to Victoria & Albert’s for dinner.Still, it is nice to get a little more dressed up in the evenings, especially if you are heading out for dinner, drinks or to stroll through Disney Springs or see a show.For women, dressing up at Disney World could include a nice breezy dress, or skirt and blouse combination is a great way to get upscale style while still staying in the spirit of your Disney vacation.For men, casual pants or casual shorts (think business casual at work), along with a button-up shirt and casual shoes is the perfect way to go.Dressing up for Dinner at Walt Disney WorldFor Disney Signature Restaurants, there is no singular dress code that applies to all. Victoria & Albert’s has the most stringent dress codes, while for the other Signature Dining Restaurants it really depends on the location.Disney World Signature Dining restaurants located inside Disney Parks (such as Le Cellier, Tiffins, Takumi-Tei and the Hollywood Brown Derby) tend to be a little more casual and less formal, since most guests are having a theme park day.For Disney World Signature Dining restaurants located inside Disney Resort Hotels or in Disney Springs the expectation is that guests will respect the restaurant’s ambiance and aesthetic with a little bit more attention. No swimwear or ratty torn clothing, but rather neat and tidy resort wear at the very least.You will find the specific dress code for each Disney Signature Dining Restaurant on the restaurant’s page at DisneyWorld.com. Disney Signature Dining Dress CodeThe Dress Code on the restaurant page is the same for virtually all Disney Signature Restaurants. It states:This restaurant is a Disney Signature Dining experience offering fine dining with a distinctly magical flair. Guests are expected to dress accordingly in attire that respects the restaurant's sophisticated and upscale aesthetic. Clothing should be clean, neat and in good condition. Please no swimwear.Victoria & Albert’s Dress CodeThe Dress Code for Victoria & Albert’s is unique as Walt Disney World. It states:Victoria & Albert’s is an exquisite and intimate upscale dining experience and the culinary crown jewel of Walt Disney World Resort. Guests are expected to dress accordingly in semi-formal/formal attire that respects the restaurant’s elegant and opulent aesthetic.Disney Bounding and Dapper DaysBeyond bringing nicer clothes to dress up at Walt Disney World, guests may also take part in Disney Bounding and the occasional Dapper Days.Disney Bounding is where you create an outfit that is inspired by a Disney character. It’s not a character costume, but rather an outfit that takes elements of a character’s style that you craft with your own clothes.Dapper Days are specific days (not Disney official) where guests dress to the nines in vintage style clothing and outfits. You’ll definitely notice guests dressed up on Dapper Days at Disney, a true celebration of style.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, we that you enjoyed it.

    Does Disney World Have a Dress Code? Yes. Here's What You Can't Wear.
    Jul 16 2024
    Packing for a Disney vacation isn't just about what to wear for the weather or fashion, there's also a fairly detailed Disney dress code that you need to know about.“Can I wear this outfit to Walt Disney World?”What You Can and Can’t Wear on Your Walt Disney World VacationChoosing your wardrobe for a Walt Disney World vacation is part of the anticipatory build-up to your departure day. But did you know that Disney World has a set of guidelines for what you cannot wear in Disney Parks and Resort properties?Part 1: This is a Family Park, So Dress AccordinglyDisney’s dress code for Walt Disney World begins with a general statement:Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times. The parks are a casual, family-oriented environment. Ensuring that the parks are family-friendly is an important part of the Disney experience. In that spirit, we ask you to use your discretion and common sense.This is a reminder that Disney takes seriously its reputation as a wholesome family destination. If you have a local non-Disney theme park, then you might know what it’s like to see certain attire that would never make it past the front entrance of a Disney Park.So if you’re wondering if a certain top or shorts will be allowed into a Disney Park, ask yourself if you’d consider it to be family friendly. That is the lens through which it will be viewed at the front gate.A Look at the Disney World Dress Code and GuidelinesThe next part of the Walt Disney World dress code gets a little more specific.Part 2: Inappropriate Attire for Walt Disney WorldIt’s not all left up to the discretion of Cast Members, as there are some specific guidelines. The Walt Disney World Dress Code clearly and plainly states that Cast Members can refuse entry, or kick you out of the park, if you are wearing anything that is inappropriate or that could detract from the experience of other guests.Specifically, the Disney dress code states:Attire that is not appropriate for the parks—and which may result in refusal of admittance—includes, but is not limited to:Costumes and costume masks, which may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older.Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphicsExcessively torn clothingClothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environmentClothing that touches or drags on the groundClothing with multiple layers is subject to search upon entryObjectionable tattoosCostume Exceptions Include:Specific Halloween and Christmas events*Some outfits inspired by Star Wars.* Note that Disney ticketed parties and events have their own specific dress codes, as does Galaxy’s Edge. So be sure to check those as well.There are also general rules that apply to the entire Walt Disney World property. They include clothing, but go far beyond just clothing. You can find the Walt Disney World Property Rules here. For the most part, Disneyland Resort in California has the exact same set of rules and regulations posted on its website.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, we that you enjoyed it.

  • The Five Best Fabrics to Wear at Walt Disney World in Summer

    The Five Best Fabrics to Wear at Walt Disney World in Summer
    Jul 9 2024
    Summer at Walt Disney World is a fun time to visit. But summer in Florida also means you’ll have to deal with rain, humidity and hot steamy weather. So what are the best clothing fabrics to wear in hot, humid weather? We share the top five fabrics for summer. The Best Clothing Fabrics to Wear in a Hot, Sweaty and Steamy Orlando SummerAside from the usual tips about sunscreen, keeping hydrated and cooling off in the AC, what you wear can also be a make-or-break decision for your comfort in the parks and beyond.Here is our guide to the best fabrics to wear in the summer at Walt Disney World, and also the ones you should avoid to stay cool and fresh in Florida's steamy summer.The Five Best Fabrics to Wear in a Hot Humid WeatherWhen packing for your summer vacation to Walt Disney World, consider packing clothing made from the following materials to ensure your best possible comfort against the sometimes oppressive Florida summer heat.Top Five Fabrics for Hot, Humid Weather(in no particular order)1. CottonCotton is always mentioned as a summer fabric for good reason. Cotton is a natural fabric that's breathable and lightweight, which allows air to circulate freely around the body. Cotton also does a good job of absorbing moisture, which helps to keep sweat off your skin and prevent irritation. Remember, as we have discussed in past posts, there are different weights of cotton, so consider lightweights cotton t-shirts for optimal comfort.Why Cotton is Great for Heat and Humidity: - Breathable and promotes air circulation- Soft and comfortable against the skin- Absorbs moisture, reducing sweat buildup2. LinenLinen is another excellent choice for keeping cool in hot and humid climates. Made from flax fibers, linen is highly breathable and has natural moisture-wicking properties. Linen is also notable for its loose weave, which allows for better air flow that can help you stay cool.Why Linen is Great for Heat and Humidity:- Extremely breathable and lightweight- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities- Dries quickly, preventing sweat from sticking around3. BambooWhile relatively new and not yet widely available as a clothing fabric, bamboo fabric is rapidly gaining popularity. If you find a bamboo clothing item that you like, it’s worth a try for Florida’s steamy summer weather. Bamboo is incredibly soft, breathable and has natural moisture-wicking and antibacterial properties, all of which combine to make bamboo fabric an ideal choice for humid conditions.Why Bamboo Fabric is Great for Heat and Humidity:- Breathable and moisture-wicking- Naturally antibacterial, reducing odor- Soft and comfortable4. RayonRayon is a semi-synthetic fabric made from natural fibers. It’s known for being lightweight and breathable, which makes it a good option for hot weather. It drapes well and can be found in many summer clothing items. However, rayon is as absorbent or moisture wicking as other options on the list, so rayon clothing would be a good pick if you want to bring a dress or nice outfit for an evening dinner or event.Why Rayon is Good for Heat:- Lightweight and breathable- Soft and smooth texture- Good moisture absorption5. ChambrayChambray is often mistaken for denim, but it's much lighter and more breathable, making it a great choice for that denim look in the heat of summer. As a cotton-based fabric, chambray is perfect for summer because it combines the sturdiness of denim with the lightness of cotton, so you get the best of both worlds with comfort and style.Why Chambray is Great for Summer:- Lightweight compared to denim- Breathable and comfortable- Stylish yet practical for hot weatherFour Fabrics to Avoid Wearing to Walt Disney World in the Summer HeatIt’s not just about which fabrics are the best to wear in a hot and steamy Florida summer, it also helps to know which clothing fabrics you should avoid packing for your Disney vacation. During the fall, winter and early spring, these four fabrics will do just fine. But in the sweatiest stickiest heat of a Florida summer, you may want to leave these items at home (unless you plan to wear them indoors in the air conditioning).1. PolyesterPolyester has a well-earned notorious reputation for being non-breathable. Polyester clothing traps heat and moisture, making it a bad choice for hot, humid weather. It is durable fabric that’s often used in activewear, but don’t let that fool you. Polyester is one clothing fabric that is best avoided during steamy Florida summers. Pay special attention to this with your kids’ clothes as well.Why to Avoid Wearing Polyester in the Florida Summer:- Non-breathable, traps heat- Can cause excessive sweating- Can get very uncomfortable in humid conditions2. NylonSimilar to polyester, nylon is not a very breathable fabric. Nylon clothing can trap moisture and heat against your skin, leading to discomfort and even the potential for skin irritation and rashes (which you definitely want to avoid at Disney World). While nylon ...

  • There’s a Better Way to Theme Your Wardrobe for a Disney Vacation

    There’s a Better Way to Theme Your Wardrobe for a Disney Vacation
    Jul 2 2024

    Forget matching Disney shirts. Matching shirts for a Disney vacation may be a common way to theme your Disney travel outfits, but there's a much better (and more fun way) to get into the Disney spirit by theming your family wardrobe more creatively.

    Choosing a theme can help to elevate and add some fun to your next Disney vacation

    Packing outfits for a Walt Disney World or Disneyland vacation can be a lot of fun. Beyond the basics of packing for the season or the weather – or packing matching shirts for your family or group – there’s another way to really elevate your Disney vacation style.

    If you’re like me and you’re not a big fan of matching Disney shirts, then this Disney fashion style is a great way to go.

    Theming your wardrobe to your upcoming vacation (or at least part of it), can make it fun to pack and even more fun to co-ordinate with what you plan to do onsite.

    Ideas for How to Theme Your Disney World Wardrobe

    Princess Theme

    A Cinderella-inspired theme for your outfits, along with a visit to Cinderella’s Royal Table, a Cinderella Meet and greet and more.

    Or, do the same with Princess Ariel, Princess Belle, or your favorite Disney princess.

    1920s New Orleans

    Don't just do a Tiana wardrobe theme, expand it into 1920s New Orleans inspired outfits for the family. You can do everything from a Princess Tiana dress for your little ones, to more clever apparel for the adults and teens. Couple this with a Tiana Meet and Greet (she will love it), a ride on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and if you're at Disneyland, a visit to Tiana’s Palace and a stroll around New Orleans Square for photos.

    Toy Story Theme

    Toy Story offers so many opportunities to have fun theming your family/group's apparel. Everything from your favorites from the movie, to your favorite toys as a kid...they're all fair game to inspire your outfits. Then, it's off to Toy Story Land for a few rides, dining at Round-Up Rodeo BBQ and Toy Story character meetings.

    Star Wars Theme

    Star Wars also offers many opportunities to theme your family Disney outfits. Then, wander Galaxy’s Edge, visit Oga’s Cantina and pilot the Millennium Falcon.

    Animal Print Theme

    Visiting Animal Kingdom Park is much more fun when you have your animal inspired family outfits. Take pictures in the park, meet characters, dine at Tusker House, ride Kilimanjaro Safaris and have a little fun with Wilderness Explorers.

  • What to Pack and What to Wear to Walt Disney World in July 2024

    What to Pack and What to Wear to Walt Disney World in July 2024
    Jun 25 2024
    It’s officially summertime at Walt Disney World and that means you’ll want to pay special attention to what you pack for a July Disney World vacation. What you need to know to be sure you cover all the bases.What to Pack and What to Wear to Walt Disney World in July July in Orlando and Walt Disney World is hot. It’s the first of the two hottest months of the year for a Walt Disney World vacation. However, we vacation at Walt Disney World every year at this time and while it’s hot, it’s still a good time to visit. July Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World The weather in July at Walt Disney World is usually hot, but not necessarily overly humid. For 2024, the forecast for July is looking fairly consistent over the course of the month. You can expect daytime highs in the range of 87˚F to 95˚F (30˚C to 35˚C), with nighttime lows in the range of 65˚F to 77˚F (18˚C to 25˚C). These temperatures do not include the humidity, which can make it feel hotter. Heat, Rain and More to Consider When Packing for Walt Disney World While the second half of the month may be slightly wetter, it’s very hard to accurately predict rain at Walt Disney World in the summer…other than to say the best defence is a good offence. This means that you should always consider that it will probably rain at some point in your trip, when you’re packing for a July Walt Disney World vacation. On top of the summer afternoon and early evening showers that can build due to the heat, there is also the potential for tropical storms and active weather to become part of the mix. As always, we recommend that you check the weather with a local weather station in Orlando the day before you arrive at Walt Disney World. This will give you the best idea of the type of weather you may get during your stay and can help with any last-minute packing decisions. In addition to the rain, heat can also be a factor for many Walt Disney World travelers in July. While much of North America has been sweltering under a heat dome already in 2024, Disney World in July is hot. However, this is often overblown by sensationalist articles and there are plenty of ways to keep your cool and find air conditioning. So be sure to give yourself and your family a break and take the time to cool off when the heat builds (including resort hotel pool time). It's Florida. It’s July. It’s going to be hot. No need to overthink it or dramatize it. Just plan for it. What to Pack for Walt Disney World in July July at Walt Disney World means you should pack your coolest, lightest and most quick-dry clothing for everyone in your group. Avoid black or dark colored t-shirts as they attract the heat of the sun. You should pack white and lighter weight clothing for sure along, with a good supply of sunscreen (and Gold Bond powder if you think you may need it). T-Shirts, tank tops and loose-fitting button-up shirts are all good items for tops. Shorts (lightweight and quick dry) are a top pick as well. Skirts, sundresses and bicycle shorts are also good items to pack. For the record, don’t forget to pack the swimwear (not that you likely would).Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, we that you enjoyed it.

  • A Buying Guide for All-Over-Print Clothing: What You Need to Know

    A Buying Guide for All-Over-Print Clothing: What You Need to Know
    Jun 18 2024
    All-over-print (AOP) apparel isn’t new, but the AOP design style has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years. So, what makes a good all-over-print design and what are the best clothing items for all-over-print patterns? All items are not created equal, so here's what to watch for before you buy. Why are All-Over-Print Clothes Popular? All-over-print shirts give you the ability to really stand out and to make a subtle (or not so subtle) fashion statement. When it comes to subtle Disney clothing in particular, all-over-print designs are a really fun design process to explore. AOP designs always have a big impact -- whether it’s bold or subtle -- because the design covers every inch of the fabric. We create all-over-print designs on everything from t-shirts and rash guards, to swimwear, skirts and dresses. You don’t often see AOP sweatshirts and hoodies, although it is possible to make them. No matter the garment, all-over-print clothing can add flair to an overall look. One benefit that many people like is that AOP garments don’t draw the eye to any one specific spot. Since the print pattern is everywhere, there is no focus on a specific graphic or area of the shirt. Still, all AOP patterns are not created equal and there is an elegance to creating a good AOP design pattern. It takes a savvy design eye and a lot of thought to create a great looking item. The Technical Aspects of a Good All-Over-Print Pattern The first thing to watch for is that the designer or manufacturer has taken the appropriate care in putting together a quality all-over-print design. AI pattern makers have taken the industry by storm, but the majority of these platforms still do not excel at creating truly seamless tiles. This is critical if you care about the details (we care and you should too). AOP patterns are usually made by repeating a single tile of the design so that when they are placed together like tiles on a wall, they will align seamlessly on all sides and the pattern will continue endlessly, with no visible seams or glitches. (Note: seamlessly refers to the design pattern and not the clothing…all clothing will have seams of kind.) So, pay close attention to this when buying an all-over-print garment. Did the designer or company pay close attention to these details? It’s something we are meticulous about here at 1923 Main Street. In addition to the technical aspects of seamless tiles, the pattern itself should also be attractive to the eye. Regardless of whether the design aims for symmetry or asymmetry, a pattern shouldn’t be jarring. There should be a natural pleasing flow to the design. Usually, it’s obvious to the eye when you look at something whether or not the seller has taken care in thinking through the desired look. If your initial reaction is jarring, that says it all. The Best Design Style for All-Over-Prints All-over-print patterns can be bold with large pattern elements, or subtle with smaller pattern elements. They can be bright and colorful, or duotone/monotone and far more subtle. Each of these styles serves a purpose and depending on what you’re looking for, they can all be appropriate choices. Big Prints, Small Prints, Light Prints, Dark Prints… A Hawaiian shirt with big bright florals works well for the big and bold style, whereas a subtle and pale toile style (often monotone) pattern can work well for something like a skater dress or skirt. The Best Clothing for All-Over-Print Patterns All-over-prints works very well on button-up shirts, dresses, skirts, swimsuits and occasionally t-shirts. You want to consider the pattern itself in all cases, as all-over-prints can become dated very quickly if they are not created with a more timeless design perspective in mind. All in all, all-over-print clothing can add a splash of style to your wardrobe and offer a different look than solid colors or geometrics and the classic graphic t-shirt or sweatshirt. If you pay attention to the technical and design considerations noted above, you’ll become a more savvy and informed all-over-print shopper.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, we that you enjoyed it.

  • What to Pack and What to Wear to Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii

    What to Pack and What to Wear to Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii
    Jun 11 2024

    Set in a luxurious setting on west side of Oahu, Disney’s Aulani Resort and Spa is wonderful Hawaiian getaway that’s unlike any other Disney destination. But packing for Aulani is very different than packing for Walt Disney World or Disneyland. Here's what you need to know.

    Disney Aulani: Not a Disney Parks Vacation

    Aulani offers a Hawaiian Disney vibe, with no theme parks or attractions to distract from the magic of this Polynesian destination.

    The first thing to know is that what you pack and what you wear at Aulani is very different from what you would pack and wear for a Disney theme park resort vacation.

    Aulani is a Disney resort yes, but it’s not a Disney Parks resort, so your packing considerations will be quite different. Plus, you’ll likely do some island exploring around Oahu while you’re there, so consideration for the various micro-climates on the island is another important point to remember.

    Located in the town of Ko Olina on the southwest or leeward side of Oahu, Disney Aulani is located in a very upscale area, surrounded by other luxury resort destinations along with the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. Aulani has much to offer on the resort property, but the nearby area and the island of Oahu are also must-dos when visiting.

    If you plan to visit Aulani from May to September, it’s an ideal time to visit. Planning your wardrobe means considering a few factors. These include humidity, micro climates, upscale clothing or resort wear, your beach and swim attire and your casual wear.

    We like to visit Aulani for two weeks when we go, so we stay in a Disney Vacation Club Villa and take advantage of laundry facility. That makes packing a lot easier and a lot lighter, as you can do a little laundry halfway through your stay. No big deal.

    Three Packing Categories for Disney Aulani Resort and Spa

    When planning for what to pack and what to wear to Disney Aulani, consider putting your clothes into three categories:

    Resort Wear or Casual Chic

    For dining out, relaxing around the resort and visiting neighboring hotels you’ll want to pack something that’s a little more upscale than your everyday casual wear.

    Swimwear or Beach Wear

    Packing for Aulani takes a little more thought than packing for the pools at Walt Disney World or Disneyland. Beaches and pools can be your theme park, so you’re going to need more than just a single swimsuit. For time at the Aulani pools or beach, bring multiple options. Consider water slides, the cold water of the Aulani Rainbow Reef and offsite beaches – including surfing if you plan to do that.

    Casual Wear

    Casual wear will still play a big role in what you pack for Disney Aulani. This is your everyday attire to wear around the resort and on day trips exploring the island of Oahu. But remember, you don’t have to go as heavy on the Disney-themed attire here, although Lilo and Stitch or Moana themed items (and that Hawaiian shirt of yours) will all be good choices.

  • What to Wear to the Pools at Walt Disney World (and Disneyland)

    What to Wear to the Pools at Walt Disney World (and Disneyland)
    Jun 4 2024

    Spending time at your Disney resort hotel pool is a must-do on your Walt Disney World (and Disneyland) vacation. Here's what to consider when packing your swim style for Walt Disney World resort hotel pools.

    How to Style Your Swimwear for Disney Resort Hotel Pools

    Not only are Disney hotel pools great guest amenities, they also help to provide a well-earned relaxing break from the energy and activity of the parks. Whether it’s to let your kids unwind and release some energy, or to allow yourself a little lounging time by the pool (perhaps with a snack and a cold drink), making time to visit Disney pools is something to make time for in your daily Disney vacation schedule.

    Disney Pool Style and Disney Pool Dress Codes

    Every onsite resort hotel at Walt Disney World has unique pools. Depending on the Disney resort, the theming is different and so is the vibe of the pool area. Most resorts have multiple pools, generally separating the louder pool-games-and-music pool from the quieter pool.

    What you plan to wear to the pool depends on your own personal style and possibly the particular resort.

    There are no specific pool dress codes for Disney pools, other than the catch-all of “proper attire” for the resort (which gives Cast Members some room in the event that someone pushes things a little too far). Most guests dress with common sense. One-piece swimsuits and bikinis are common, as are board shorts. It is rare that we have seen anything bordering on what may be offensive to some.

    What you wear to the pool also depends on what you plan to do at the pool. Not everyone who goes to a Disney pool is there to swim.

    For many Disney hotel guests, relaxing in the warm weather on a lounger with a drink in hand and a good book will do just fine (with maybe a quick walk in the zero-entry area to cool off). For others, it’s multiple trips to the water slide or taking part in pool games for the younger guests. So plan your swim attire accordingly.

    A swimsuit cover up is also another piece of fashion attire that is often seen at Disney pools. So if you plan to go in style to the Courtyard Pool at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, have some fun and consider your complete outfit.

    Speaking of specific pools, it’s also worth considering that many pool decks (such as slide pools at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Wilderness Lodge) tend to be very overcrowded during busy times of year. Pools like these are undersized for the resort, so it may be hard to find seating and it may not be very relaxing if your intention is to, well, relax and not swim.

    Subtle Disney Swimwear and Disney-Themed Swimsuits

    As you would expect, Disney hotel pools are the perfect place to wear your Disney-themed swimsuit, or subtle Disney swimwear. Little ones in particular are often seen wearing their favorite Disney character swimsuits, which helps to add to the magic.

    Flip flops or other poolside footwear is also a good idea because some of the surfaces can get very hot in the Florida sun.
