Dou You Wear NEW Clothes to Disney Parks?

[EditReject]

Not always new but I make sure I always look good. When you look good you feel good.

Years ago I use to think I needed new clothes to go on Disney but now I wear what I have. It's just a woman thing to think you need something new.
I don't pay much attention to what people wear . I do notice men in particular wearing wife beater shirts and saying on t-shirts I feel are way out of place at Disney. I'm not a snob by no means but somethings I have read are really out there.

ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!
DH gets new underwear and DS gets new socks, whether or not they need them. I on the otherhand get EVERYTHING new
Actually DS and DH get new clothes also if they want. They just don't like to shop like me

Buying new before the trip does not stop me from buying more when in Orlando. I just love the Florida Mall.

We usually buy new Disney T-shirts each year. We try to always match while at Disney. We usually just have shorts to go with them.

We usually wear fairly new clothes to Disney. We've been tending to go in May, well before summer starts up here, so we need new things for the summer anyways.

Really though, I want us all to look nice, since we get so many pictures done, they are just better if we all have nice clothes on too.

Not as much as we use to. When my kids were younger I use to pretty much dress them in head to toe disney, coordinated, and matching the park or character meal that we were going to that day- sometimes switching mid-day to ensure that the theme continued. Is this a sickness? Honestly, I remember one time at our airport, on the way to Disney, an airport worker commenting on how my four year old daughter looked as though she had already been on vacation- disney skirt, top, socks and sparkling shoes, disney princess ears with veil, backpack and pulling her sparkling Disney Princess suitcase- clutching her soft Cinderella sleeping doll-all new- bought especially for our arrival day. It must have been a sickness. Now that everyone is getting older (and refusing to enable the sickness) we bring our nice, comfortable summery clothes with some new stuff thrown in. And only a few Disney things.

Call it a big expense. Afteall if your going to Disney you MUST be ready to spend boo cuu bucks. It's a long family tradition I need to blame on my parents. When I was a child, my mom and dad would splurge on me with new threads, so now I do the same for myself, my wife and my son. All the way down to the underwear. It becomes a BIG expense, but hey it's well worth it, Disney is not your ordinary theme park. It's a land of fantasy. When I walk around the "world", I'm dressed like a gentleman, Walt deserves that. I usually go in the summer, so a nice brand new pair of shorts, polo shirt, new kicks, new socks, new boxer shorts, even new cologne. I worry about the expense when I get my credit card bill the following month.

I never wear new clothes to WDW. Literally, everytime I go there I wear basketball shorts, t-shirt, ball cap, sun glasses and beat up shoes. I'm only there to have fun, not impress. I will wear a new shirt whenever I've bought the one t-shirt souvenir I'll get every once in a while, but other than that, beat up clothes that are broken in so I'm comfortable and not worried about ruining anything.

I didn't think I did, but looking back to this Spring, any new clothes items I bought were things that I thought would be great for Disney - new tanks/halters etc for the HOT weather. I actually bought 2 new pairs of Disney PJ's, so I wouldn't be sportin' my usual (dh's old t-shirts). I even bought my dh and 2 boys matching Mickey Hawaiian shirts for Poly. I also try not to pack things that I know we have a lot of pic's of us wearing on the last trip.

The thing that cracks my dh up is that when me, my mom and sister buy new clothes, we don't wear them right away, we let them sit in the closet for a little - not sure what we're waiting for, it's not like a fine wine.

[dog-ears]

I actually have "Disney clothes" that I almost only wear at WDW. Drives my wife nuts.

LOL, me too! Although DH does not seem to mind. Some of mine are almost vintage now but I always get some compliments from other guests while at the parks!

[crltkcagle]

Yep I go out and buy the whole family new clothes and dh always complains. LOL

[georger]

What the heck are jorts????

[bruin1344]

The only things I buy are new socks, new sneakers and sometimes a new boston sports team hat. I buy new sneakers a month or 2 in advance to break them in before i go to wdw.

I wear t-shirts to the parks during the day and polo shirt for dinner in the evening

[KAJUNKING]

What the heck are jorts????

jean shorts, there is a whole thread about jorts its pretty funny

[kbean]

Ha...this is funny. I make it a point to look my best when going to Disney. There's alot of cute girls there for us single guys. Of course I live close by so one day doesn't hurt nice clothes.

[joonyer]

DW usually buys our family of 4 new shirts for each day before each trip (although sometimes we uses ones form a previous trip) so that each day we are wearing matching colors. It makes it a lot easier to find each other in the crowds.

[Iteachpc]

Okay, I already posted on this thread, but now I've got to repost.

I started packing and realized there were more days to our trip than shorts in my wardrobe! So off to the store for a couple new pairs! They are now tucked in my suitcase with a couple of new shirts as well. So I will be sporting a few new duds!

We head to Orlando on Friday! WE CAN'T WAIT!

[Wolf]

Nah usually just the oldest/softest clothes I think can hold out for day or two without bugging me really. I like to save up and try to not spend any money before I go so I can spend more there lol! I buy wayyy too much stuff while I'm there so I don't think it makes up for it.

[Bethanymouse]

I always buy new clothes for disney, for me and the kids. It is definitely not our complete wardrobe but some of us women prepare for our trips as if they are like the next coming of christ. I spend months preparing and planning and I am already gathering things for packing and we still have 49 days until we leave. It is always nice to take Disney pictures and have new clothes on in them, and this will set apart photos from previous trips, as well. I also have clothes that I have worn before that I have to "get into" for my trip, and that is typically the only time they fit. I don't see this as all that abnormal for a woman to do.

I LOVE THIS! And....I agree!

[minnie-mouse]

Absolutely! It is vacation, a chance to do new things and have fun, be free for a week. Good for her to get excited about it all. I do the same thing and my hubby loves it.
