The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is a popular annual event at Walt Disney World that is a celebration of everything to do with food and drink. From food sampling stations, to wine tasting, instructional kitchens and more, there is something for everyone who enjoys celebrating food and wine (and other beverages as well).
If You’re Attending the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, Should You Dress Up?
Unlike Disney events such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the EPCOT festivals aren’t events that many people consider as dressing-up occasions.
But there are many guests who do like to dress for the occasion and if you enjoy styling outfits for events that you attend, then the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is a perfect place to put a little thought into your outfit.
So should you dress up? We say yes, at least in terms of putting a little thought into styling your outfit with a hint of food and wine fest flair.
What Should You Wear to the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival?
For the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, it’s not so much about dressing up as it is picking the perfect outfit. It’s styling your outfit versus wearing a costume.
Getting into the food and wine vibe is a great place to start. What you wear could be anything from graphic tees or print shirts that have food and wine theming, to something that you might wear to a vineyard for a wine tasting.
Most guests do not dress up, so you might not want to go too far with your outfit. After all, you will be walking around a fair bit in Florida heat and humidity, so it’s wise to balance style with functionality.
Personally, we believe that the Food and Wine Festival would be elevated if more guests did put a little more effort in their personal style when visiting the event. Plus, it makes it more fun and immersive for all attendees when the theming is extended to the attendees.

If you plan to visit Walt Disney World or Disneyland during the Halloween season, should you dress up to join in the festivities? Will you feel out of place if you don’t dress up? And if you do dress up, what should you wear?
The Spooky Season is Here, Do Disney Guests Really Dress Up for Halloween?Halloween at Disney World and Disneyland is a fun time of year. Disney goes all out with décor, treats, food, shows and even special ride overlays at Disneyland (too bad Disney World doesn’t do the same). So it’s not surprising that many guests embrace the spirit of Halloween with a little extra magic in their outfits.
But should you dress up for Disney Halloween?
Are You Going to a Disney Halloween Party?
While some Disney Park guests do dress up a little during Halloween, it’s really only during the Halloween parties that you’ll see a larger number of guests dressing up in their favorite costumes.
Many kids dress up for their Disney vacations all year long (princesses, Star Wars characters, Marvel characters etc.), but adults are truly allowed to go full costume only during the Halloween season (yes, there is a dress code specifically for this).
Will You Feel Out of Place if You Don’t Dress Up for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party or Boo Bash?
The answer is no.
Many children and teens dress up, as do many adults. But not everyone dresses up for Disney Halloween. Far from it. So you won’t feel out of place if you don’t dress up.
Costume Considerations for Disney Halloween Parties
If you do want to dress up for a Disney Halloween party, what should you wear?
The costume you wear to a Disney Halloween party really comes down to why you want to dress up. If you want to dress up so that you can really get into the spirit and be fully immersive, then by all means you can go all out with your costume (within Disney dress code guidelines).
Cast Members will often acknowledge great costumes and you’ll certainly be able to get some great photos in the Halloween vibe. But, going all out on a costume can come at the cost of comfort, maneuverability and the ability to easily ride rides (depending on the costume).
The next (and probably most common approach) is to strike a balance between dressing up to some degree (you’ll see a lot of Disney bounding in this category), while still being uninhibited by your costume.
The final approach is to not dress up at all and just go to the party to enjoy the ambiance, sights and sounds. You won’t feel out of place if you’re not in costume, as you certainly won’t be the only one.

How to Dress for the Beginning of Fall at Walt Disney World in September
Are you traveling to Walt Disney World in September 2024? September is a unique month in Orlando and at Walt Disney World. There a few things that you really need to know when picking your outfits and packing for September weather in Orlando.
September in Orlando is a Shoulder Season, Which Means Be Prepared for Anything
September is a great month to visit Disney World, particularly when it comes to lower crowd levels and fun events. This is the month where you can enjoy the best of Disney Halloween and the food and flavors of the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival all in one trip.
However, preparing for potential weather conditions during the month of September at Walt Disney World is a little trickier. As a shoulder month, there can be various weather impacts in the month of September and 2024 looks like it may be a wetter month than recent years.
What to Pack for Walt Disney World in September 2024
Packing for September 2024 will be different this year, as the weather is looking to be a little hotter than normal and a little wetter as well. Packing like you would for August is probably a safe bet this year, which is not always the case for the first official month of fall at Walt Disney World.
Plus, with Halloween in full swing and the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival fully underway, you may want to consider packing a special outfit or two if you plan to take part in the festivities (both of which are highly recommended).
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in September 2024
The forecast for September 2024 at Walt Disney World includes the kind of oppressive heat and humidity that you pretty much expect in Orlando at this time of year.
For September 2024, Orlando and Walt Disney World daytime highs should range from 86°F (30°C) to 95°F (35°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 73°F (23°C) to 79°F (26°C). And remember, these temperatures do not include humidity/humidex, so be aware that it can easily feel much hotter than this on most days.
Unfortunately, the forecast for September 2024 in Orlando includes rain on 15 of 30 days, with the week of September 15 predicted to be particularly wet. Of course, we all know that weather prediction is hardly a science, but still it is something to consider if you’re visiting this month.
When you couple the warm temperatures continuing on into September with the forecast rain, you can prepare for humidity that will impact on both your park stamina and the clothes that you wear, so pack with this in mind.
Active weather, including tropical storms and hurricanes, is still possible as well in September. You can plan in advance for these by checking the local weather (on a local Orlando weather app) the day before you leave for your vacation. That will give you the most up-to-date outlook for the week of your vacation.
What to Wear in Walt Disney World in September
This year, September weather means you can continue to pack lighter clothing as you would in the summer. Light colors (which are great in the hot sun) are not as critical for the month as the forecast calls for a lot of cloud cover. Given the chance of showers and active weather, quick dry clothing and footwear are good picks to pack for September 2024 at Walt Disney World.

Disney guests at Walt Disney World and Disneyland don’t dress the same when it comes to Mickey wear and more. So which resort has visitors who wear more Disney inspired clothing and why do guests dress differently at Disney World and Disneyland?
Walt Disney World and Disneyland Guests Don’t Dress the Same, Here’s What We Noticed
One of the great things about visiting both Walt Disney World and Disneyland is that the resorts and parks are different, so you get a very different experience when visiting one or the other. But the differences aren’t only what you can see and do in the parks, the style of the guests who visit each resort is also different.
So what’s different about Disneyland and Walt Disney World guest style?
California weather has a couple of noticeable differences compared to Orlando: rain and humidity. Where it can rain at Walt Disney World on every day of your summer vacation, you’re unlikely to see any rain at all at Disneyland during the same time period. Plus, there is very little humidity at Disneyland Resort, which makes it much more comfortable to walk the parks (even in 90*F+ heat).
Weather aside, there are quite a few things that we noticed when comparing the guests in the crowds of Disneyland versus the guests at Walt Disney World.
How Guest Style Differs Between Disneyland and Walt Disney World
Headwear
One of the most noticeable differences that really stands out (possibly because it is at eye level) is that there are far fewer Disney mouse ears and mouse headbands on guests at Disneyland versus Walt Disney World.
Disney-Branded Clothes
Similar to mouse ears and mouse ear headbands, there are also far fewer Disney clothes on guests at Disneyland. Whereas the majority of guests (on an average day) at Walt Disney World have some sort of Mickey wear on, it’s quite a different story at Disneyland. Mickey wear and Disney character clothes are in the minority. You do see some, of course, but the difference is noticeable. Along the same lines, there are far fewer couples, families and groups wearing matching Disney shirts as well. In fact, over the course of a week visiting both Disneyland parks daily, I saw two instances of matching Disney shirts.
Footwear
When it comes to footwear, things are not dramatically different at Disneyland versus Walt Disney World, with one notable differences. We noticed far fewer Crocs on guests at Disneyland compared to what you tend to see at Walt Disney World.
What Causes the Guest Style Differences Between Disneyland and Walt Disney World?
It’s hard to say why Disneyland guests tends to be less decked out in Disney wear than guests at Walt Disney World. It may be that California residents are more fashion and style conscious and so they value personal style over Disney wear for their park visits. The fact that California weather is less humid and less rainy likely does not have an impact on outfit choices. Guests at Disneyland are still wearing the same types of clothes as their counterparts at Walt Disney World in Florida (t-shirts, shorts, dresses etc.), it’s just that they are not predominantly Disney branded or Disney related items.

If you're wondering if it's possible to fly to Walt Disney World with carry-on luggage only, the answer is yes. We share the top five benefits of doing carry-on only and how it's easy to pack for a week's vacation with carry-on only.
Ever since Covid hit in 2020 and bag check became a universal nightmare at airports around the globe, we have never checked a bag again.
We travel to Walt Disney World and Disneyland at least three times each year, plus we have had European vacations and more during this time and have not checked a single bag.
For most airlines, you are allowed one free carry-on bag, plus one additional bag – like a backpack. This is an important part of the carry-on packing strategy, since the backpack can be a fallback for additional items that may not fit neatly into your carry-on.
Five Reasons Why Should Only Do Carry-On on Your Disney Vacation
1. Saves You Money
The first and easiest reason is that it typically saves you money when you go with carry-on bags only. Carry-on is less costly (usually free), so the savings increase with the size of your group. Airlines may soon charge for carry-on baggage, but for the time being, it’s usually going to save you money on checked baggage fees if you go with carry-on bags only.
2. Forces You to Pack Light
Overpacking is one of the worst habits of many travelers, and Disney travelers in particular can ten to overpack on Disney outfits. Remember, five to seven outfits is plenty. Even less if you will typically wear only two pairs of shorts for the week (for men at least). Shoes is also one of the biggest issues travelers have. I pack only one pair (and one pair of flip flops for pool time, but those are flat and don’t take up much room). So if you are a shoe person, try to limit yourself to two pairs maximum,
3. Faster to Get out of the Airport at Orlando International Airport (MCO)
When you land in Orlando, everyone is usually itching to get out of the airport and get to Walt Disney World as quickly as possible. The carry-on strategy is your biggest friend here as you will get to walk right by the crowds hovering around the baggage carousels waiting (im)patiently for their bags to arrive. If you go with carry-on baggage only, you can skip this time sucker altogether and be out of the airport and on your way to WDW an hour faster.
4. Easier to Maneuver at the Airport, Hotel and Everywhere
Carry-on bags are smaller, lighter and easier to maneuver. So you will really enjoy the convenience at the airport, on your transportation, at the hotel and anywhere you need to lug your bags around. If you are going with a split-stay strategy (two or more hotels on your vacation), then carry-on bags is even better. First, you won’t have as much to repack (since you have a smaller bag in the first place) and second, switch hotels is so much easier when you only have small, light luggage to move.
5. You’ll Have More Room in Your Room
With carry-on bags, you’ll find that you have more room in your hotel room. The small bags can make a huge difference in how much space is tied up by luggage. You’ll find you’re not tripping over bags or having to give up valuable room space to full size suitcases. Even with only two or three people, having only carry-on suitcases to deal with makes a big difference. So enjoy your extra space!

If you want to take great photos of your Disney outfits at Walt Disney World, there are five great spots that will consistently deliver exceptional photos for your social media feed or personal photo album. Want to be Disney fashion influencer? Here's how to get started with great Disney style photos.
The Five Best Photo Spots at Walt Disney World to Show Off an Outfit
What to Consider to Get the Best Photos of Your Disney Outfits at Disney World
The best time for photos under natural light is first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon (which generally will provide softer golden lighting. Overcast days and shaded areas are also great for providing picture perfect diffused and muted light. So if you are serious about getting a great photo for your social feed or to become a fashion/style influencer, get to your photo spot first thing in the morning. This will provide the best lighting and the lowest crowds.
By going early, the lower crowds mean that, at worst, you can use AI great to remove one or two errant people in the photo. But beyond one or two people, it can get trickier. Unless you are going for the blurred crowd effect (which is something to try if you find yourself in that situation).
Focal length, aperture and the distance to your subject can all affect how the final photo turns out. Plus, for scenic views you need to consider whether the background will be busy or uniform, and whether it will be blurred or more in focus. All of this makes a difference in your final photo. You can adjust much of this in post production using apps, but the more that you consider up front, the less work you will have to do later.
Five of the Best Outdoor Scenic Photo Locations for Disney Style
1. Cinderella Castle
As a classic icon, Cinderella Castle has several vantage points that are perfect for unique and stylized fashion shots. This does not include the standard head-on shot from Main Street (where the PhotoPass photographers are positioned). Look for a unique angle on either side of the castle, with some good spots towards the back.
2. Grand Floridian Resort
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort offers a ton of first rate outdoor photo spots. From sprawling green lawns, to great florals and tropical gardens, to beach photos and backgrounds of Seven Seas Lagoon, you can always find a great photo spot here. Of course, the white and red color palette of the majestic buildings are also picture perfect.
3. Disney Boardwalk
The Walt Disney World Boardwalk has a number of options for unique and interesting fashion and style photos. From benches on the wooden boardwalk, to vistas of the Crescent Lake and the Yacht and Beach Club hotels in the distance, you will have the potential to get a ton of great shots here. If you are looking for that magical late afternoon golden hour sunlight, the Boardwalk area is perfect for that photo-friendly natural lighting.
4. EPCOT: Morocco Pavilion, France Pavilion, By the fence around to World Showcase Lagoon
While EPCOT has no shortage of first-rate photo opp locations for fashion and style photos, there are two or three that stand out as top picks to explore. At the very back of the Morocco Pavilion, you will find a wonderful location with great lighting, interesting backdrops and few crowds. Nearby in the France Pavilion is another great area where you can capture some fashion and style photos featuring the charm of old Europe. For the France area, you will need to go early in the day for the optimal nature light and the lowest crowds.
Also in EPCOT, the blue water of World Showcase Lagoon can make a nice blurred background. Finding a location along the black iron rails next to the water can make for some excellent photos, assuming you time it right with the sun low in the sky or on an overcast day.
5. Animal Kingdom: Harambe Marketplace area, Animal Kingdom
(Fichwa Fellow Wall, with Mickey Mouse, You are Most Beautiful wall)
Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park, the Harambe Marketplace are is filled with colorful backdrops and unique textures that can make for some excellent photo opps. The great thing about this area is that unlike some of the other popular Disney photo wall locations (which don’t have enough room to create distance between the camera, subject and backdrop), the Harambe area provides the perfect opportunity to set up for some great fashion photos.
Planning Your Disney Fashion Photos in Advance is Worth the Effort
Putting some thought into the photos before you take them will make a difference in the end result. If you are aiming to get some like-worthy fashion photos for your Instagram or social feed, then the extra effort and thought will pay off.

Ever wonder how to choose between two things when planning your Disney travel outfits? We answer 10 top questions, that each compare two Disney what-to-wear options, in 10 rounds of This or That: Disney Travel Fashion and Style Edition.
10 This or That Questions that Answer What’s Best to Wear in Disney Parks
Ever wonder how to choose between two things when planning your Disney travel outfits?
Mike and Amelia discuss, debate and pick the winners in 10 categories of Disney travel This or That? Get the answers to 10 top questions about this or that Disney travel fashion and style.Disney Travel Style: This or That
1. In the Disney Parks: Subtle Disney Shirt or Obvious Disney Shirt. This or That?
Subtle Disney shirt is our top pick in this category. Keep your obvious Disney shirts for back home when you're not on vacation. Plus, Disney Cast Members often comment on the subtle Disney shirts that they don't see every day.
What about outside the Parks?
Outside the parks on a Disney vacation, subtle Disney shirts are still a top pick.
2. For a casual dinner (such as the Grand Floridian Café): casual shorts/leggings or a dress? This or That?
A dress is a great option for women, as it's a little more, well, dressy.
For men: nice casual shorts and a short sleeve button up shirt or pants and casual dress shirt?
For men, casual shorts with a short sleeve button shirt is a great choice and can be worn on many other occasions on your vacation.
3. For visiting the Disney Parks: a hat or Disney ears? This or That?
Disney ears are the winner here, because there aren't many other places you can really wear Disney ears and feel confident. But this doesn't include if you need a hat for utility purposes.
4. Wearing a hat in Disney Parks: a ball cap or wide brim hat? This or That?
A ball cap is more functional if you go on a lot of rides. They can be stowed and stored more easily. But, you will get a ball-cap tanline (if you're concerned about that). A wide brim hat offers more protection and is a good choice if you don't go on fast rides.
5. For Disney World in cooler weather: jeans or leggings? This or That?
While there is a bit of an anti-jeans feeling among many Disney travelers, Amelia still feels that leggings or loose pants are a better pick (also considering that jeans are less forgiving around the waistline). Mike is a little more on the anti-jeans side of the fence.
6. For Disney Parks in cooler weather: a hoodie or sweatshirt? This or That?
This one's close and can depend on whether or not the hoodie is zip up or pullover (zip up offers more flexibility). The crew neck sweatshirt gets a slight edge here.
7. Walking the Disney Parks: Converse Chuck Taylor’s or Running Shoes/sneakers? This or That?
The response is split on this one. Amelia recommends sneakers or tennis shoes, while Mike prefers his Converse All-Stars. Your best bet here is to get with what is most comfortable for you in other long-walk situations.
8. A cotton t-shirt or a button-up short-sleeve shirt? This or That?
Mike recommends a short-sleeve button-up shirt over the t-shirt here. Mainly because button-up shirts are less hot and more flexible for both parks and dining.
9. Which top is best: cotton or linen? This or That?
Assuming the best quality of both items, linen is the pick for both Mike and Amelia.
10. If you need to carry a bag in a Disney Park: a backpack or sling bag/crossbody? This or That?
For easy access and less bulk, the crossbody or sling bag is the winner here. Small backpacks were trendy 10 years ago and are not as accessible. So unless you need a large backpack for utility reasons, go with the more flexible crossbody type of bag.

Are you traveling to Walt Disney World in August? Here is what you need to know to pack for August weather in Orlando.
The Hottest and Steamiest Month of the Year is Still a Great Time to Go, If You Go Prepared
August at Walt Disney World is the hottest, stickiest and wettest month of the year for a Disney vacation. The key to a great time is knowing what to pack and how to plan your days for the dog days of summer at Disney World.
What to Pack for Walt Disney World in August 2024
We spend a week at Walt Disney World every August and the lazy, hazy days of August require that you pack appropriately for the weather you’ll likely encounter. This means packing for heat, humidity and being prepared for lots of pop-up wet weather.
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in August 2024
The forecast for August 2024 at Walt Disney World includes the kind of oppressive heat and humidity that you pretty much expect in Orlando at this time of year.
For August 2024, Orlando and Walt Disney World daytime highs should range from 90°F (32°C) to 93°F (34°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 79°F (26°C) to 81°F (27°C). These temperatures do not include humidity/humidex, so be aware that it will feel much hotter than this on most days, likely into the 100°F+ range. During August at Walt Disney World, you don’t get much relief from the heat and humidity after dark. The humidity has a huge impact on both your overall stamina and the clothes that you wear, so pack wisely and accordingly.
Another consideration to bear in mind always when visiting Walt Disney World in August is the potential for very active weather, including tropical storms and hurricanes. You can usually plan for these in advance, so be sure to check the local weather (on a local Orlando weather app) the day before you leave for your vacation. That will give you the most up-to-date outlook for the week (even then, weather can change quickly in Florida in the summer).
What to Wear in Walt Disney World in August
This is the time of year when you want to pack light. Light colors, lightweight clothing and quick dry clothing and footwear are what you should aim to pack.
At Walt Disney World in August, pop-up afternoon thunderstorms (including very heavy rain) are a normal occurrence. Try to avoid planning any important outdoor activities between approximately 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. If you do, be aware that weather could impact your plans.
Pack light color and lightweight t-shirts and tops. Quick dry shorts and bottoms are also a great choice (they tend to be lightweight) along with footwear that can dry quickly or at least not hold moisture for too long if you get caught in a deluge of rain.

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 World
For 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 Code
The 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 Code
The 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 Days
Beyond 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.

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 Vacation
Choosing 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 Accordingly
Disney’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 Guidelines
The next part of the Walt Disney World dress code gets a little more specific.
Part 2: Inappropriate Attire for Walt Disney World
It’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.

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 Summer
Aside 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 Weather
When 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. Cotton
Cotton 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 buildup
2. Linen
Linen 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 around
3. Bamboo
While 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 comfortable
4. Rayon
Rayon 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 absorption
5. Chambray
Chambray 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 weather
Four Fabrics to Avoid Wearing to Walt Disney World in the Summer Heat
It’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. Polyester
Polyester 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 conditions
2. Nylon
Similar 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 is often used in activewear, it is not suited to humid climates—unless it is blended with breathable fabrics. Even then, if you see nylon on the label, we recommend avoiding this for a summer vacation in Orlando.
Why to Avoid Nylon Clothing in Humid Weather:
- Traps heat and moisture
- Not breathable
- Can cause discomfort and irritation
3. Acrylic
Acrylic is another synthetic fabric that is typically used in cooler weather due to its insulating properties. Wearing acrylic in hot, humid weather can lead to overheating, excessive sweating and even making you a little more odorous along the way. So skip acrylic clothing when packing for a Disney summer vacation.
Why to Avoid Acrylic Clothing in an Orlando Summer:
- Insulates heat, not breathable
- Can cause excessive sweating
- Uncomfortable in hot conditions
4. Silk
Silk is a tricky one that some people believe is good for hot humid weather. It’s not. While silk is lightweight and does feel luxuriously light, once the humidity kicks in, it’s not going to be a pleasant fabric to wear. Yes, silk can absorb moisture, but it doesn’t dry quickly. This means you’ll be left feeling sticky, uncomfortable and generally irritated in the high heat and humidity of summer at Walt Disney World.
Why to Avoid Wearing Silk in Heat and Humidity:
- Absorbs moisture but dries slowly
- Can feel sticky and uncomfortable
- Delicate and requires special care
General Clothing Tips for Staying Cool at Walt Disney World
In addition to choosing the best clothing fabrics for hot, humid Florida weather, be sure to remember these general clothing tips for staying cool during a Disney World summer vacation.
Choose Light Colors:
Dark colors attract and absorb more heat from the sun, while light colors reflect it. So skip the black and navy blue tops and go with whites, yellows or similar.
Wear Loose-fitting Clothes:
Tight clothes tend to trap heat and restrict airflow. That’s not what you want on a hot, humid sticky day. Go for looser fitting shirts to promote better air circulation.
Layer wisely:
Whether to layer at all is the first ... -
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

June is the month when things really begin to heat up at Walt Disney World. What you should pack and what you should wear for a June vacation to Walt Disney World. Plus, what did ChatGPT suggest you should pack and wear?
Top Tips for What to Wear to Walt Disney World in June 2024
Plus, Can ChatGPT Help with Your Summer Disney World Clothing List?
June is the month when things really begin to heat up at Walt Disney World.
The long range forecast for June 2024 calls for daytime highs from 88°F to 102°F and nighttime lows ranging from 73°F to 81°F. With temperatures like this, it’s safe to say the summer has arrived in Orlando and Walt Disney World.
Thankfully, the long-range forecast for Orlando does not call for extended periods of rain. However, this is Orlando, Florida in the emerging summer heat, so rain is highly likely when the heat and humidity build in the early afternoon. But it’s an encouraging sign to start the month without any major storms being noted at this point. This can change at any time, however, so always check the seven-day forecast for Orlando the day before you leave for the most up-to-date weather predictions.
What clothing and other items should you pack for Walt Disney World in June?
Given the weather outlook for June 2024 at Walt Disney World, you’ll be safe to pack light in terms of shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, skirts and any other warm weather comfortable clothing that you have.
Humidity will be building, so bear that in mind. Super light quick dry shorts and other clothing work really well at Walt Disney World. One of the benefits of quick-dry clothing (in addition to the quick dry in Florida rain), is that quick dry clothing tends to be very light, which makes it perfect for hot park days.
It's also a time of year when you can forget about packing any jackets, coats and any other cool weather gear (finally).

Love it or hate it, AI is here to stay. With the popularity of ChatGPT and other AI platforms, we wanted to see what it would say when asked about packing tips for a Walt Disney World vacation.
We Asked ChatGPT to Help Us Pack for a Disney World Vacation, Here’s What It Said
Would we agree with ChatGPT’s advice or not?
For this query, we asked Chat GPT to provide us with a list of the top 10 essentials to pack for a Walt Disney World vacation in 2024.
Here are ChatGPT’s 10 Walt Disney World packing recommendations and whether we agree or disagree with the AI advice:
1. Comfortable Shoes: You'll still be doing a lot of walking around the parks, so comfortable shoes are a must to keep your feet happy throughout the day.
2. Sunscreen: Protect your skin from the Florida sun by applying sunscreen regularly. This is crucial for avoiding sunburn and preventing long-term damage.
3. Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is essential, especially in the hot and humid weather. Bring a refillable water bottle to save money and ensure you have access to water whenever you need it.
4. Portable Phone Charger: With the reliance on mobile apps for everything from virtual queues to mobile food ordering, keeping your devices charged is more important than ever. A portable charger will ensure you stay connected throughout your visit.
5. Rain Gear: Florida weather can still be unpredictable, so it's wise to pack a compact rain poncho or umbrella to stay dry during sudden showers.
6. Snacks: While dining options abound in Disney World, having snacks on hand can help curb hunger between meals and save you money on theme park snacks. Pack non-perishable snacks to keep you energized throughout the day.
7. Backpack or Day Bag: A lightweight backpack or day bag is essential for carrying your essentials around the parks. Make sure it's spacious enough to hold items like sunscreen, water bottles, snacks, and souvenirs.
8. Hand Sanitizer: Maintaining good hygiene is important, especially in crowded areas. Carry hand sanitizer to keep your hands clean and minimize the risk of getting sick.
9. Hat and Sunglasses: Protect yourself from the sun's rays with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Not only do they shield your face and eyes from UV exposure, but they also add a touch of style to your Disney attire.
10. Park Tickets and Identification: Don't forget your park tickets and identification! You'll need them for park entry and any reservations you've made for attractions, dining, or experiences. Keep them safe in a waterproof pouch or wallet.
With these updated essentials, you'll be well-prepared for an enjoyable and comfortable visit to Walt Disney World in 2024.

If you take a lot of Disney vacations (or even if you don't, but you love Disney characters), chances are you have a closet full of Disney clothes that you’ve picked up while Disney shopping.
Official Disney-themed apparel is great, but there are times when you might want the feeling of wearing a little Disney-inspired magic, without Disney characters all over it.
Welcome to the world of subtle Disney clothes.
Subtle Disney Clothes
Subtle Disney t-shirts and other clothing is all about getting that upbeat Disney feeling, without sporting official Disney apparel. Subtle Disney celebrates the magic without Disney characters or other intellectual property. Because sometimes you want the magic of Disney without obviously wearing Mickey wear, or character-themed clothing.
Clothes Inspired by the Magic of Disney and Beyond
Subtle Disney clothing is not Disney clothing, nor is it meant to be.
No Disney characters, no Disney intellectual property, nothing that is owned by Disney.
Subtle Disney clothes get inspiration from the feelings or concepts that come from a spark of magic. When you buy something inspired by the magic, it gives you a fun and uplifting feeling. Because you’re getting a piece of clothing without anyone (except possibly your true Disney fan friends) potentially even knowing that what you’re wearing was inspired by the magic at all.
The Benefits of Subtle Disney Clothes
The subtle Disney shirts, hoodies, skirts, dresses, yoga leggings, swimwear and more that we create at 1923 Main Street offer several fun and unique benefits for those who also love official Disney attire, but are looking for something subtle and non-Disney.
Subtle Disney Clothing:
Complements your official Disney attire.Carries the magic with you without being obviously Disney.Adds the fun of a little hidden magic that’s found in almost every Design.Expands and extends your Disney travel wardrobe and your everyday wardrobe no matter where you are.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style Podcast

Shopping for clothes online? Chances are you will encounter many of the same base t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies across various clothing companies and sellers. Gildan. Comfort Colors. Bella + Canvas.
So how do you choose one over the other?
Discover the Differences: A Detailed Comparison of How to Choose Between these Popular T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, and HoodiesWhen it comes to choosing the perfect blank apparel for print on demand (POD) clothing, there are several factors to consider. From print quality to the fabric composition, to wearability and more, each shirt has different features that cater to different preferences and needs.
The Differences Between Popular Print-on-Demand Shirts
Women's T-Shirts
Two of the most popular women's t-shirts that we use are the Bella + Canva 6400 and the Gildan 880. Both are excellent quality shirts, but they are not exactly the same.
Bella + Canvas 6400: Known for its lightweight soft feel and flattering fit, the Bella + Canvas 6400 is crafted from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. It has a very lightweight fabric that makes it ideal for warmer weather (like hot Florida days) or for layering under coats or jackets. Plus, the Bella + Canvas 6400 uses a premium quality fabric, which helps with vibrant print results for graphic tees (and for comfort).
Gildan 880: The Gildan 880 offers a more relaxed fit and is a quality shirt made from 100% cotton. It's slightly heavier than the Bella + Canvas 6400. This means that it is generally a more durable product for heavy wear and offers a more structured silhouette due to the extra weight. The Gildan 880 is a great and practical choice for everyday wear.
Bottom Line, Women's T-Shirts: Consider the fit and fabric preference. If you prioritize softness and a fitted look, opt for Bella + Canvas 6400. For those seeking a slightly more budget-friendly option with a relaxed fit, Gildan 880 is one to consider.
Unisex T-Shirts
We use a lot of unisex t-shirts at 1923 Main Street and there are a few main products that we view as excellent options. Here are the differences between them.
Bella + Canvas 3001: This is a very popular shirt that is well known for its fit and soft feel. Similar to the 6400 model above, the Bella + Canvas 3001 is made from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. It comes in a variety of color options, giving it good versatility and style. Once again, the benefit of the Bella + Canvas 3001 lies in its lightweight fabric, perfect for all-day comfort and vibrant print results.
Gildan 64000: Made from 100% preshrunk cotton, the Gildan 64000 is the epitome of durability and a classic fit. It's slightly heavier than the Bella + Canvas 3001, providing a structured look and wear. The benefit of the Gildan 64000 is its classic t-shirt weight, coupled with affordability and wide range of available colors.
Comfort Colors 1717: Made from 100% ringspun cotton, the Comfort Colors 1717 is another very popular t-shirt. It offers a relaxed fit and garment-dyed softness. The Comfort Colors 1717 is known for its lived-in feel and vintage look. This t-shirt is a great combination of ultimate comfort and a unique aesthetic. The benefit of the Comfort Colors 1717 lies in its distinct style and cozy wear, making it a favorite among those seeking a laid-back vibe for their prints. However, it comes at a price of costing slightly more than the other options here.
Bottom Line, Unisex T-Shirts: All of these are great shirts and you can't go wrong with any of them. When faced with a choice, consider your style preference, the fit and your intended use. If you a relaxed fit and vintage appeal are more important, the Comfort Colors 1717 is worth considering. For a classic fit and budget-friendly option, Gildan 64000 is a reliable choice, while Bella + Canvas 3001 offers a trendy "retail" fit and softer feel.
Unisex Hoodies
There are two main hoodies that are used quite often. We love them both (and so will you), but they do have their differences.
Cotton Heritage M2580: The Cotton Heritage M2580 hoodie is a premium hoodie that's made from a blend of cotton and polyester, offering warmth and comfort. Its fleece interior adds cozy insulation, making it perfect for cooler weather. The benefit of this hoodie lies in its premium fabric blend, ensuring durability and cozy wear.
Gildan 18500: Also made from a cotton and polyester blend, the Gildan 18500 hoodie offers a roomy fit and soft feel. Its air-jet spun yarn ensures minimal pilling, maintaining a smooth surface for printing. The benefit here is its affordability without compromising on quality. It has a more structured feel to it and feels less like a sweater.
Bottom Line, Unisex Hoodies: These are both great hoodies. Price may be a consideration, as the Cotton Heritage comes with more of a premium price tag. Beyond that, consider the climate and desired level of warmth. If you need a hoodie for colder weather or outdoor activities, opt for Cotton Heritage M2580. For a truly versatile and budget-friendly option, the Gildan 18500 is a very popular hoodie and a solid can't-go-wrong choice.
Unisex Sweatshirts
Similar to hoodies, there are two main sweatshirts that we use and that are found at a large number of clothing companies.
Cotton Heritage M2480: This cotton and polyester blend sweatshirt offers comfort and durability. Its ribbed cuffs and waistband provide a snug fit, while the fleece interior keeps you warm. The benefit lies in its premium fabric blend and construction, ensuring long-lasting wear.
Gildan 18000: Made from a blend of cotton and polyester, the Gildan 18000 sweatshirt features air-jet spun yarn for a softer feel and reduced pilling. It has a very classic sweatshirt fit and it is slightly more affordable, making it a popular choice for everyday wear. Its main benefits are versatility and a budget-friendly price point.
Bottom Line, Unisex Sweatshirts: Consider the level of warmth that you want and the how you will wear it. If you need a sweatshirt for outdoor activities or cooler weather, the Cotton Heritage M2480 is a good choice. For a more structured sweatshirt feel, coupled with a classic sweatshirt style and more budget-friendly price-point, the Gildan 18000 is a great pick.
You Really Can't Go Wrong with Any of These Shirts
You can't go wrong with any of the products covered here. We use them all and they are all very reliable items from top quality companies. They key is to know their slight differences and which type of product you prefer.
So if faced with the option of choosing between different blank apparel options, consider factors such as fabric composition, fit, print quality and intended use. By understanding the unique features and benefits of each shirt, you can make an informed decision based on their preferences and needs.
Thankfully here at 1923 Main Street, we do most of the decision-makin...
