What do you wear to a theme park?! We aren’t going for a few months but I’m already wondering. I know everyone talks about comfortable footwear (I’m guessing it should be waterproof-ish?) so I’ll definitely be reaching for sneakers or maybe just my favorite broken-in sandals. I’m thinking loose and easy for outfits — boxer shorts with a favorite tee; a featherweight, breathable Doen top with jean shorts; etc. See below for my current vibe.
DOEN TOP // AGOLDE SHORTS // CELINE SUNGLASSES // MINI MISTING FAN // LESET TEE // AMAZON SHORTS // TEVA SANDALS // CHLOE NAMA SNEAKERS // CELINE PHONE SLING // FRANK AND EILEEN LINEN SET // MICKEY MOUSE EARS HAIR CLIP
And a few items I’ve come across for little ones — note that Emory has already requested this t-shirt among the Disney options I presented her with! And I thought she’d flip over the sherpa mouse ears but she’s asked for something simpler, so I’m still hunting…
Not seen below, but another cute option for little boys: these polos! The Mickey tee seen below was sold out in Hill’s size but I got him the Donald Duck and this one with Pluto, too.
MINNIE TEE // RIBBED SHORTS // NATIVE SNEAKERS // SHERPA MOUSE EARS // MOUSE EARS HAIR CLIP // LETTERFOLK OUTINGS JOURNAL // MICKEY TEE // CADETS SHORTS // CROCS // DISNEY HAT // POUCH
Will share all things Disney after we get back – don’t want to advertise plans/strategies that don’t end up working.
P.S. On the magic and mayhem of traveling with young kids.
P.P.S. The osprey and the heron.
P.P.P.S. Some of my favorite travel gear and thoughts on making travel days easier.
I literally resorted to athleisure/On running shoes when we went to Disneyland (West Coasters here!) and was so glad I did. You’re juggling so much with gear, rides, reservations, kids, etc. I definitely wasn’t concerned about what I was wearing and was so glad I opted for comfort and clothes that didn’t constantly feel like they needed to be adjusted.
Fun! I agree with Stephanie on the white, don’t wear white bottoms – the Frozen ride, nope just learn from me and don’t do it 🙂 I often wear white tops and layers as it can be cool in the morning and then warm up in the afternoon. For bottoms we go in December so I usually wear vuori joggers or something similar, hubs wears similar or lulu joggers/short. Sneakers are a must for the whole family, even the littles as when the natives get wet they can rub, again live and learn 🙂 I also throw plenty of band aids, chaffing stick, all of the things in a backpack or bag under the stroller. I also lost my favorite sunnies on space mountain and had to hit the sunglass hut in MK, if you are going to wear them make sure to tuck them into your shirt or be ready to put them away on each ride. I still wear my ray bands but now they go inside my shirt or in the lockers (ala the Tron ride). We pack 2 pairs of sneakers/trainers per person in case there is a rain day and also yes to the ponchos, throw them in your backpack! ENJOY!!
So exciting!! Yes, comfortable footwear for sure. I wore white leather Keds or NB. We were lucky to avoid rain so wet shoes weren’t an issue. It was a bit chilly two of our park days so layers were key…especially if you get to the park early in the day. I wore jeans or jean shorts with a tee and a lightweight French terry crew neck when it was chilly. And I wore a tshirt dress to magic kingdom. I’d be nervous about wearing that white set to an amusement park! Especially if you get caught in the rain…speaking of which, we got cheap ponchos from Amazon before we left – otherwise you’re a captive audience for the overpriced ponchos at the parks.
We just booked an Orlando trip for the end of the month, but we’re not going to the parks this time. Probably will hit Disney springs or something to give the girls a little Disney magic 🙂 As alumni of Give Kids the World (Make-a-wish resort) we can visit for the day twice a year. Excited to go back! Excited for your trip, too! Hopefully Hill will be tall enough for just about all the rides.
Have you seen the large Mila toiletry organizers by Dagne Dover? Genius for travel when checking a bag! Love the moonbeam color way.
