Over 60% of Disney Fans Agree this Outfit is a Theme Park Fashion Faux Pas


Recommended Posts

Deciding what to wear to Disney World is VERY difficult — we get it!

Trust us, we’ve been there. You’re tearing through your closet, trying to find the outfit pieces that will be cute yet functional for long days walking around the parks. However, sometimes you decide to take a risk, which can be great! …Or it may turn into a bit of a disaster. Many Disney World fans think these particular fashion choices are quite the faux pas, so here’s how you can avoid them!

Now, to preface, you wear whatever YOU would like to Disney World and whatever you’ll be comfortable in! However, there are some situations you need to prepare for, some of them that specifically stem from what you choose to wear, so we’re just giving you these as a heads-up!

Getting Soaked

If you’re in Disney World on a rainy day and don’t have any rain gear, it’s almost a guarantee that unless you take cover JUST in time and stay there, you very well may get soaked. And there’s nothing wrong with that…as long as your outfit can hold up when it’s soaking wet.

We’ve seen firsthand that people who have worn these adorable and elegant outfits to Disney World look incredible, but then they get wet, and things go downhill really fast. Now, we’re not telling you to NOT wear these outfits, but we are saying that if your outfit isn’t water-friendly, you need to bring some kind of rain gear with you to keep yourself dry without needing to hide inside for (potentially) hours. We personally love the Cosowe Ponchos!

This is a fantastic product to keep you dry all day as you walk through the parks, and it’s cheaper than buying a poncho in Disney World, which will rip easily and, therefore, ruin its effectiveness. Plus, you can grab the clear ones, so your outfit can still be seen!

Don’t miss it!

However, if you’re looking for something REALLY sturdy and don’t care as much about your outfit being seen, we also love the FROGG TOGGS Poncho!

This thing is AMAZING. Water practically rolls right off of it, and it’s dry almost the moment you step out of the rain!

Wearing Something That Chafes You

No need to be embarrassed! It’s happened to most of us out there. Chafing doesn’t just happen in one area either — it can happen almost anywhere on your body. Chafing often comes from the type of clothes you’re wearing in the parks, but the strap of your bag could also chafe your arms, OR your ears could chafe the sides of your head.

Again, we’re not necessarily saying to avoid wearing anything that could chafe you (because that’s a LOT of different items and hey, Disney World is hot and we totally get wanting to wear as few layers as possible sometimes), but this is where being prepared comes in handy. We absolutely recommend carrying around the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick!

This stuff will SAVE YOU! We’ve had many members of our team swear by it. Even those of us who don’t typically chafe keep some on our bag for the off chance that something changes that day and our skin gets irritated. You just rub a little bit on wherever you need it, and you’re good to go!

Add it to your cart!

Wearing Fancy/Impractical Shoes For the WHOLE Day

We totally understand packing a pair of fancy heels or shoes for a special dining reservation you have in Disney World the evening of your trip, but make no mistake — wearing impractical shoes for your ENTIRE day is a major mistake.

You’ll be doing MILES of walking each day of your Disney World trip, and you won’t want to be doing it in heels or uncomfortable shoes. Again, we’ve been there and are BEGGING you to not make the same mistake we have, but if you do (or if you wear good shoes but your skin blisters anyway), it’s best to be prepared with some Moleskin.

These are thick (but not too thick) bandages that come in multiple different sizes and shapes to best fit where you need it. It’ll protect your skin from further irritation which is VERY important!

Wearing A Universal Shirt in Disney World

This one is a little silly, but it’s on this list for a reason. Many people who come to visit Disney World from far away, or who haven’t done a ton of research may be confused on what’s actually in the parks. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve overheard people wondering where Harry Potter land or Jurassic Park is in the parks, and the truth is that they’re nowhere — those are over at Universal Orlando.

While Universal Orlando is very close to Disney World in retrospect (only about half an hour away at most), they’re two completely different companies with different IP and attractions. So every time we see a Universal Orlando shirt, or a shirt based on their IP or attractions, in Disney World, we can’t help but cringe a little bit.

And now we know we’re not alone in this! A lot of our readers feel the same way and would feel the same if they saw a Disney World shirt in Universal Orlando.
