Dou You Wear NEW Clothes to Disney Parks?

[Goes4FastPass]

The Jort thread got me wondering, Do you wear new or "nice" clothes when you visit Disney parks?

My wife seems to use Disney trips as a excuse to buy new warm weather clothes.

I always say, "You certainly don't need any new clothes for Disney World!". Still, she shops. She always looks cute.

When we get up and get ready to park hop she puts on a new outfit and asks, "How do you like it?" I smile and say, "You look swell"

There's a kind of man who knows when not to argue. They're called husbands.

yep...we all wear a new personalized disney T-shirt for our first day in the parks each time we visit (a fam tradition)...purchased away from WDW (via the internet) where they are much less expensive. As for buying other "new clothes" for a visit...only if someone needs a new pair of flipflops or an extra pair of shorts.

I always wear nice clothes (not fancy, but casual) at Disney. I Never dress sloppy, always do my hair and make up.

Between sweating in the heat, and all the possible tragedies that go with "eating on the run" in the parks, I definitely DO NOT take new clothing on a WDW trip.

I will take 1 "nice" outfit to wear depending on if we have ADR's for France, Artist Pointe, or wherever.

Beyond that, though, I only pack things that I don't care if they get messed up.

I buy the kids new character theme shirts from the Disney outlet or on sale at department stores before we go. They don't need them but they like them and do wear them again when we return home.

I always wear a polo shirt and shorts...definitely not jorts. DD14 would have a fit if I had jorts on..

Every Disney trip the wife loads up on new outfits for all the kids and us. It is not too bad due to the fact we go in Sept/Oct time frame, and stores up here on the cape have summer clothing on clearence. It is a good time to load up on some new foot wear also.

I buy a few new outfits for Disney trips. I like to have us looking "put together". We dress nicely, but not too fancy and definatley not sloppy. This will be our dd's first trip, and I am already buying some new outfits for her and am on the lookout for clothes for my DH and I.!

I buy some new, and then pack my favorites that I already have. I even like to buy and pack new PJ's. I get new toiletries and even new makeup sometimes. I love putting on new cute outfits at Disney. I do the same for my kids too. This is probably why our Disney trips go way over budget. I never make do with what we have.

I rarely buy new clothes (unless some cute and original Mickey shirt or hoodie catches my eye) ... but I always plan a specific "look" for my Disney outfits ... it makes me happy to think of the week and what I plan on wearing ... and if I am going to wear some sort of Mickey clothes etc. It's a nerdy thing I do ...

[GhostHost999]

I try and pack light so that way I can just buy the shirts, etc. that I want and wear those. :-)

So I guess by default I wear new stuff to the Disney Parks. :-)

I fly back to WDW tomorrow...I can't wait.

This is me exactly. Past trips, I made sure the kids were dressed in a theme for the day (park, resort, whatever we were doing). I won't be able to get away with it in the future, but it was so much fun!

We take more pictures at Disney than anywhere. I don't want to be sloppy and frumpy looking so I tend to dress a little nice. Not dressy at all, but "cute" casual stuff.

well what me and dw do is:
when we buy our new disney t-shirts at WDW we won't wear them until our next trip down, so this way we wear our shirts which are new from our previous trips and just match them up with shorts that we've had for quite sometime now. all in all it works out well. in the mornings before we head to breakfest and the parks, dw will pick out our outfits, usually the same t's but different shorts(obvious reasons- womens to mens) then it's off to have

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

[jonahbear2006]

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 went shopping for new clothes this spring. With everything I put on I found myself wondering how would this look at Disney? I only bought things that I would wear at Disney

[kakn7294]

My family all wears shorts and t-shirts, casual tops, or tank tops, some new and some not. We don't buy new clothes specifically for the trip, but we always have something new that we bought that season. We never dress up but we do try to look nice - I do my hair and wear makeup.

[Aggie97]

We don't buy new clothes or shoes specifically for the trip, unless they were needed anyway. We tend to dress on the nicer side of casual most days (the same way the do at home), unless we are wearing WDW T-shirts, and I do my hair and wear make-up -- we take more pictures at WDW than anywhere else, so we like to look nice for them!

[Imagineer1981]

We don't buy new clothes, but we wear nice clothes. I usually wear nice tshirts or polo. I feel generally alot of people "dress up" to go to Disney. Its just a higher caliber park, and I think alot of people feel that the sleeveless Ron Jon Surf Shop shirt just isn't dressy enough. Granted there are the people who wear that stuff, but I'd say in a given day you'll see way more polos and nice shirts as opposed to the competition where you are lucky to see people with a shirt on at all!
