Do you buy new ??

[minnie04]

Just curious... Do you buy new clothes to go to Disney World?? I do. I like everyone to look nice and clean (put together) I don't know why, but I do..

[SBETigg]

I do buy some new things, and then I mix things in from my current wardrobe, or packed away summer wardrobe, too.

[Disney4us2]

I do both. Some new and some old. Always new unmentionables

[MstngDrvnDsnyLvr]

Not usually. Although I will be getting some T's and Polo Shirts embroidered with some Disneyana for my DD and I's trip in June. And I probably need some new shorts/lightweight capris.

Like these guys, if we buy something new, it's usually something related to the trip...like we'll have some t-shirts made or something like that.

[Mousemates]

nope...though when the kids were young (and would not completely rebel against it) mrs mousemates would occasionally get some kind of personalized and similarly themed shirts (the last time it was tiki characters) for our first day in the parks.

We don't usually buy new stuff because theme park days are actually a grind.

I'm embarrassed to admit I usually take too many shirts and pants and carry half of it back from the trip unworn.

But I want to hear more about Disney4Us2's unmentionables...

Just packaged undies

[buzznwoodysmom]

Yes, I always get some new stuff. A few new outfits for each of us, then we also bring old stuff too. For some reason I tend to go overboard with new PJs for us all.

No, I sort of think of WDW as sitting on the ground or curb, and there are the dirty seats from grubby ice-creamed coated patrons.
They may try to keep the place clean, but it is not possible on a moment by moment basis.
It sure would be less fun for the kids to be dressed up and required to be clean while playing.

[Dopey's Girl]

I may use a trip for an excuse for a new shirt or two, but I buy new socks every trip. My family picks on me for it, but I love new trip socks!

[DizneyRox]

We usually bring old stuff on trips and discard it, making room for new items purchased. Wearing new items is asking for trouble if you want my opinion.

[SandmanGStefani24]

yep, every time.

It's a nice little plus to look at/wear a shirt afterwards knowing you wore that item first at WDW. Plus I also love to look my best at the World, not sure why either since I am not keen on clothes or fashion at all. Just a tshirt and jeans guy, but at least they are new at WDW lol.

As a side note, I do have a pair of Jordans (Retro VI's in red black and white) that I have only worn at WDW. I couldn't afford them when I was a kid so I have them now on display in my room, only worn twice, both at Epcot. What can I say, I'm a bit of a nerd...

We always get some new things for the trip - and of course then we always take our favorite disney shirts too. Like some of the other posters new undies and socks for everyone as its just easier to pack them! (and new socks for all of that walking!!!) but usually just go with whatever jeans, shorts etc. that we have - I always make some shirts for all of us and hairbows for DD to match some of her outfits but nothing expensive. We like to try to have at least one day where we all have somewhat matching shirts and its normally on a MK day so that we get a nice family pic in front of the castle that we all look coordinated in!

[buzznwoodysmom]

I see some of you mention not wanting to get new/good clothes messed up. In all our trips, number 15 in a few weeks, we have never come home with stained or ruined clothes. And we've traveled to WDW since our kids were 2 years old and 9 months old. We have gone pretty much every year, so every age from a baby to now 11 and 9 years old. Not a single item of stained, torn, or ruined clothes. That thought actually never even crossed my mind when shopping for new cute outfits for our trips!

[Scar]

With the exception of a suit I bought last year, and a couple of Civil War period clothes, I haven't bought clothes in 3 years.

I'm hoping to go a few more years before I have to buy any more. At I-15 I'll be the guy in a torn T-shirt.

[alaMode]

I never buy new clothes for a WDW trip b/c we typically travel off-season. That means getting the summer clothes out of storage. DS does buy new T-shirts while we're there, so he usually brings his current collection to wear.

When we visit more than one time in the same year, it's not unusual for DS to have the same outfits on from trip to trip. It can make remembering when photos were taken difficult!

I bring a set of the exact same outfit for each day of the trip...Dark wash capris, black t-shirt, Birkenstocks or other black sandals...boring, but presentable in most situations and easy to pack!

[kakn7294]

I buy new if we need new, othewise, we wear what we have that are our favorites.

[Tink#64]

Me too! But yes, we all get a few new pieces, DS's more than DH & I because they're still outgrowing their clothes! And I do like "put together" outfits, and I don't want every years WDW pics to have all of us wearing the same exact clothes!

Vacations are the only time of year I buy clothes. Every August, whether we're going to WDW, ME, NH, or wherever, I buy enough socks, undies, and shorts, as well as a new pair of footwear, all of which I promptly pack (except for the shoes) and don't open until I'm away. As for shirts, I may buy one or two, and then I'll get the rest on the trip! It's always my goal to come home with new vacation t-shirts. I still have WDW shirts from 98, 99, and 03.
