Getting dressed for a day at the parks doesn’t have to be a chore. In fact, there are five tried and true outfit styles that can cover just about any Disney Parks occasion.
Tried and True Outfits to Enjoy Your Time in the Parks with No Fuss
We’ve analyzed the styles and trends of Disney Parks visitors over the years and compiled this list of the five classic outfits ideal for any park day. Wondering what to pack or wear to Walt Disney World? You can’t go wrong with any of these.
Top Five Outfits You’ll See at Walt Disney World Parks
1. T-Shirt and Shorts, variation Tank Top and Bicycle Shorts
This is the classic look for what to wear inside a Disney Park, and for good reason. A comfy t-shirt or tank top paired with casual shorts (loose fitting or bicycle shorts) will keep you comfy and ready to go no matter how long you plan to stay at the park.
2. Collared Shirt (Button-Up Shirt/Golf Shirt) and Cargo Shorts
In the heat of the summer or on any very warm day at Walt Disney World, this variation on the classic original look is a good pick. Substitute the cotton t-shirt with a lightweight button-up shirt or collared golf shirt, for a more breathable and loose-fitting option. Paired with cargo shorts, this is a very stylish and practical option offering lots of extra pockets (which are always welcome on a Disney vacation).
3. Layered Look: Zip-up Hoodie with T-Shirt and Jeans
If you’re traveling to Walt Disney World in the winter or early spring, the layered outfit is a very good choice. Whether it’s cool mornings or cold evenings that you may encounter, layering your Disney Parks outfit is a great idea. With a jacket, hoodie or zip-up hoodie over a t-shirt up top, and jeans, casual pants or leggings on the bottom, you’ll be good to go for your entire Disney Parks day.
4. T-Shirt/Tank Top and Leggings/Yoga Pants
A very popular look for the parks, leggings paired with a t-shirt or tank top is something you’re likely to see on a large number of park visitors any Walt Disney World vacation. This classic combination offers both style and comfort, making it a great choice for all-day park hopping.
5. Dresses
On warmer days, dresses of all kinds make for a popular and comfortable theme park outfit. When it’s hot out, a loose-fitting dress allows air to circulate, giving the breezy breathability that offers added comfort in the heat.
Let’s Not Forget Disney Style
For all the above outfits, Disney style is a popular way to incorporate a little magic through graphics tops and bottoms, or outfit accessories.
For the kids, Princess Dresses and other character outfits are classic Disney Parks attire as well, but not necessarily built for comfort. These work best for little who may be spending some time in a stroller, or when you’re not pushing for a full-day non-stop in the parks.

Christmas and Disney magic just seem to go together. Whether you’re planning a Disney vacation during the holiday season, or just sharing a little magic at home, it’s always nice to have a little Disney inspiration in your wardrobe.
Do you wear Disney inspired Christmas clothes? The most popular items for your list this year
Whether it’s Disney official clothing or non-Disney apparel inspired by the magic, Christmas and holiday-themed apparel adds a little extra magic to just about any seasonal festivity.
The Most Popular Disney-Inspired Apparel Items for Christmas
Christmas and holiday themed apparel falls into three categories:
1. Christmas themed patterns
2. Christmas sweaters
3. Christmas graphics
Apparel items can be anything from hoodies, t-shirts and sweatshirts, to leggings, dresses and wide-leg pajama pants (which can be worn day or night, inside or outside).
Disney Official and Disney-Inspired Holiday Wear
If you’re looking for Disney character themed holiday apparel, then hitting the shops on your Disney vacation can be a lot of fun. From Disney official to Disney licensed clothing, you can find lots of fun festive cheer that features Disney characters in all sorts of holiday activities.
If you’re looking for Christmas apparel that doesn’t feature Disney characters or intellectual property, but that is inspired by the magical feeling that you get on a Disney vacation, then the Disney inspired apparel items are a good option. Note that when we say Disney inspired, we are not talking about any shop or seller that violates Disney trademarks. If you want Disney characters or intellectual property, then buy from Disney or Disney licensed sellers.
When Would You Want Disney-Inspired versus Disney Official?
While most Disney fans likely have both style of festive wear in their closet, sometimes you may not want a Disney character on your clothes, but you still want to capture that family vibe and ambiance of a Disney Christmas vacation. In these cases, Disney inspired – or subtle Disney clothes, as we like to say – is a great way to go. It’s the perfect complement to your official Disney wardrobe.
Here at 1923 Main Street, for example, we design festive holiday wear that draws inspiration from the joy and positive ambiance of the Disney experience. This can be anything from a festive street scene reminiscent of the feeling of Main Street U.S.A. at Christmas, to a graphic design that celebrates hopping between theme parks during the holidays. Chances are, you may want to add a little Disney official and Disney-inspired to your wardrobe to ensure you have something for every occasion and holiday event.
What is the Most Popular Single Apparel Item for the Holidays?
With so many different Christmas-themed clothes items from which to choose, what is the most popular and versatile piece of clothing, if you only want to buy one?
While the popular ugly Christmas sweater can be good choice for some, not everyone likes sweaters. Plus, the Christmas sweater on its own is not as versatile a piece to wear for multiple occasions over the holidays.
If you only want to have one Christmas or festive themed item in your wardrobe, Mike recommends a Christmas or holiday themed sweatshirt as your go-to item. Sweatshirts are versatile and can be worn to many occasions. They pair well with jeans, leggings or a skirt and even with pajama bottoms. Plus, their warm and can be layered for times when you need something a little extra cozy.
Amelia’s top pick, while she agrees with sweatshirt idea, is to consider Christmas or holiday-themed wide-leg pants/pajama pants. These are also quite versatile for curling up next to a fire to watch a movie, or to head out to a cozy Christmas gathering.

A lot of people think that the prospect of doing laundry while on vacation is crazy. But in these days of airline luggage challenges and the desire to put everything into a carry-on bag, doing laundry while on vacation can actually help to free up space in your luggage.
Should You Do Laundry on Your Walt Disney World Vacation?
But is doing laundry on your vacation really worth the benefits? Is this a convenience you'd enjoy, or an irritation you'd rather leave at home.
Laundry at Walt Disney World Hotels
Did you know that every Walt Disney World hotel has a laundry room (or rooms) for guests?
Hotels in all Walt Disney World categories offer paid self-serve laundry facilities that you are free to use on a first-come first serve basis. For example, Pop Century has three laundry rooms and they’re open 24 hours.
Why Do Laundry When You’re on Vacation?
Sure, doing laundry on vacation sounds like a chore that’s best left at home, but there are times when having access to a laundry room is a good thing. Even if you don’t want to pack less because you can do laundry mid-week and get a fully refreshed travel wardrobe, there are other reasons why you might need the laundry room.
Ever spilled something (or had a child who did) on one of your favorite Disney outfits? Dark chocolate on a brand new white t-shirt? This is another scenario when a quick run to the laundry room can save the day. The faster you get that item in the wash, the better the chances that stain will come out. Forget the sink in your hotel bathroom, a washing machine will do a much better job.
How Much Does it Cost to Do Laundry at Walt Disney World?
While the exact cost can change, a load of laundry in a Disney hotel laundry room is usually around two dollars per load. You can buy soap as well, so it’s all provided in one place.
When is the Best Time to Do Laundry at a Disney World Hotel?
While these things can vary because you can never fully predict the crowd levels in a laundry room, early morning is often best time to do laundry at Walt Disney World. Most guests are off to the parks or off to breakfast, so the laundry rooms can be less busy at this time. Put in a load of laundry and go grab a coffee or quick service breakfast.
Afternoon can be good as well, and you go spend a little time by the pool while your laundry is on.
Later in the evening is often the busiest times for the Disney hotel laundry rooms, so bear that in mind. If the laundry room happens to be close to your room, then you can always drop by to see how busy it is.
On a similar note, if you plan to do laundry during your Disney vacation, do a little advance scouting when you first get to the hotel to see which times are least busy in the laundry room. That way you will have a better idea of when may be the best time to do your laundry, when the time comes.
Disney Deluxe Villas and Laundry
One of the benefits of staying in a Disney Deluxe Villa is that the one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom villas all have washer/dryer units right in the room. Not only is this very convenient, but it is also free.
Studio Villas do not have in-room laundry, but they are laundry room facilities in the building.

If you are traveling to Walt Disney World in November 2024, here is what you need to know about the weather and more that will affect what you should pack and wear for your vacation.
November signals not only a change in weather patterns, but also a seasonal change at Walt Disney World, as Christmas holiday vibes begin to take over the Most Magical Place on Earth, with a little Food & Wine and Thanksgiving added to the mix.
How to Dress for November Weather and the Kick-Off to the Holiday Season at Walt Disney World
November 2024 in Orlando is Shaping Up to Be a Pretty Good Weather Month
November at Walt Disney World is when the weather typically begins a cooling trend. This is particularly true in 2024, where warmer temperatures have hung on longer than usual through the month of October. While November won’t exactly be cold, it is shaping up to a be a seasonally cooler month.
Special events in November will have an impact on your vacation. From Christmas parties kicking off at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park and Hollywood Studios, to seasonal activities at EPCOT and Thanksgiving on November 28, you can expect crowds to be bigger than they were in October. Still, it is not Christmas week by any means, so pack your patience and have fun enjoying the immersive ambiance all around you.
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in November 2024
The forecast for November 2024 at Walt Disney World sees a month that starts warm and then follows a gradual cooling trends as the weeks pass.
For November 2024, Orlando and Walt Disney World daytime highs are forecast to range from 70°F (21°C) to 86°F (30°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 55°F (13°C) to 70°F (21°C). These temperatures are noticeably cooler than October, but still very pleasant for your vacation. The forecast calls for a gradual decline in both daytime highs and nighttime lows as November progresses.
On a positive note, November at Walt Disney World is shaping up to be a relatively dry month, with only a few days of rain here or there popping up. Rain can be unpredictable in Orlando, at this point, November is looking pretty good.
What to Pack for Walt Disney World in November 2024
Packing for Walt Disney World in November 2024 means packing for a pleasant weather during the day and cooler weather at night.
With Christmas cheer, the smell of gingerbread and holiday festivities setting the tone, it’s fun to get into the spirit of the season and pack a seasonal outfit. Evenings will be cool, so if you’re spending time outside after dark, a hoodie or light jacket is a good thing to bring.
In addition to the Christmas parties, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival continues throughout the month of November, with its last day on November 23, 2024. So you can still bring along some themed clothes for that if you are a foodie who love to take part.
Most days are warm enough for shorts if you like to hang on to them as long as possible, but you should pack something that will cover your legs at night. If you tend to get chilled when the temperatures dip into the 50s, bear that in mind when packing.
Watch for extra crowds towards the end of the month when Thanksgiving falls upon Walt Disney World. If you are there at this time and you plan to dine out to celebrate, feel free to pack a nicer casual outfit to dine in style for Thanksgiving.

If you’re traveling to Walt Disney World during the colder winter months, you may be wondering if there are certain things you need to pack for Florida in the winter.
There are a few things about packing for Walt Disney World in winter that you may not have considered
We answer the top five most common questions that we’ve been asked over the years from travelers visiting Disney World in the winter for the first time.
Five Questions and Answers About Packing for a Winter Walt Disney World Vacation
The five most common questions that you’re probably asking yourself if you’re traveling to Walt Disney World in winter for the very first time.
1. Will I need a heavy coat?
You won’t usually need a heavy coat for Walt Disney World in the winter. Can it get cold enough for a ski jacket? Sure, it has happened. But generally, you should be fine with a jacket or hoodie, particularly if you plan to visit the parks or go out after dark. The Florida sun brings warmth in the winter, but once the sun sets you feel the cold a lot more.
2. Should I bring a swim suit?
It’s usually cool during the winter months (December and January for example) and the Disney resort hotel pools are not crowded. Do people swim? Yes, some do. One option is to hop in the hot tub by the pool. That way you can keep warm and still get that outdoor pool feeling. So if you don’t mind swimming in cooler temps (or if your kids don’t), then packing a swimsuit is not a bad idea. Just remember you may need a warmer cover up when walking to and from the pool as the air will be cooler than summer months.
3. Will I need a poncho or umbrella?
This is an interesting question because in the past we would have said no. It didn’t used to rain too much in the winter during our Disney World vacations, however, that has changed. We’re not fans of ponchos in the hot summer months, but when the air is cooler during the winter, a poncho is not a bad idea. If the weather calls for rain, then a rain jacket (which can double as your cool night jacket), poncho or small travel umbrella are items to consider.
4. Can I still wear shorts?
If you are a shorts person and like the freedom and light packing that come with wearing shorts, then by all means you can get away with wearing shorts on a sunny winter day at Walt Disney World. You might need something a little more after the sun goes down, however, which brings us to our next point.
5. Should I pack jeans, long pants or leggings?
Even when shorts are a great option in the sunny hours of the day, nighttime at Walt Disney World in the winter can be much cooler. We find that night temperatures can still be comfortable for shorts at times, but at others (when it gets colder), you will likely be far more comfortable with your legs covered (especially if it’s windy). So, we recommend that you bring at least one pair of leg coverings of your choice. It could be what you wear on travel day if you’re coming from a cooler climate, which will save luggage space (the same goes for your jacket, by the way).
Top Tip: Check the Orlando Weather Before Your Leave
As always, be sure to check to the weather at Walt Disney World on a local Orlando weather app the day before you leave in order to get the best forecast for your vacation period. That may help to tip the scale one way or another if you’re not sure about packing a certain item or two.

What is the most popular spot for graphics to appear on t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies? And what difference does it make?
What is the Best Spot for Graphics on Hoodies, Sweatshirts and T-Shirts?
Graphics hoodies, sweatshirts and t-shirts have been popular for decades. Originally, it began with printed graphics or words on the front center of the garment only.
But things have changed a lot over the years.
Nowadays you can find graphics printed on the front, back, front and back, left chest, sleeve, upper arm and more. So which style of t-shirt is the most popular and which designs suit buyers the best?
Six Common Graphic Placements on T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies
Center Chest Graphic
This is the most common graphic placement, centered in the top half of the t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie. The center chest can be smaller in size, especially if its an embroidery.
Full Front Graphic
The full front design covers the full length of the shirt. It is centered, but stretches from top to bottom. This is often seen for large letter message designs.
Left Chest Graphic
The left chest design is typically a small logo or iconic. It is sometimes embroidered and popular on golf shirts and polo shirts as well as t-shirts. These are simple, iconic placements avoiding too much detail due to the small size.
Sleeve and Arm Graphics
On t-shirts, the sleeve design is often a logo or another element that ties into a main graphic on the front or back of the shirt. The same goes for arm printing on hoodies and sweatshirts.
Upper Back Graphics
The upper back design is popular and often paired with the left chest design on the front. The upper back stretches across the shoulder blade area.
Full Back Graphics
When you think of full back graphics, concert t-shirts immediately come to mind. The concert t-shirt makes full use of the space on the back of a t-shirt or hoodie, often listing cities from tour dates. Of course, there are full back graphics for all kinds of things.
Fun Fact: The first ever concert t-shirt was an Elvis Presley shirt in 1956, while the first ever band tour t-shirt was reportedly created for the Beatles U.S. tour in 1964.
Disney Loves Graphics on the Back
Have you ever been looking for a garment in a Disney shop, found one you liked the front of…then turned it around and saw a huge graphic on the back that turned you off? If you’re not someone who likes the concert style t-shirts and hoodies with full-back placement of graphics, then it can be challenging when it comes to Disney apparel.
Disney absolutely loves the back placement for their graphics. It also matters what that design is composed of: simple graphics can work well, but the overly colorful and bold cartoon-style artwork can be a bit much.
We place a lot of thought into the composition of our designs on t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and more. Just because you can cover every inch of a garment, doesn’t always mean that you should.
So, on the rare occasion that we do venture into back graphic placements at 1923 Main Street, we tend to stick to solid design principles, with a focus on elegant and timeless style.
For hoodies, the back placement of a graphic offers a lot more real estate than the front, since the kangaroo pocket on the front of hoodies limits how much space a graphic can have.
Similar to graphics on the front of a t-shirt or sweatshirt, back graphics on a hoodie can be located either on the upper back or cover the full back of the garment. The reason that we do not do any back graphic hoodies here at 1923 Main Street is because the hood itself will block a portion of the design when its down. We don’t find that to be a good design aesthetic, so we don’t produce this type of product (at least we haven’t so far).
What is the Most Popular Graphic Placement on a T-Shirt, Sweatshirt or Hoodie?
The front graphic is the most common placement that we see today.
The front graphic on a t-shirt is how it all began, so it’s really no surprise that it remains very popular to this day. However, back graphics, arm graphics and chest graphics are all great enhancements and very common, as they can help to make specific designs even more unique and more stylish.
As a leading designer of subtle Disney-inspired graphic shirts, at 1923 Main Street we determine the style and placement of graphics based on several factors, including the graphic itself, the colors, the subject matter and the garment(s) where it will appear. A lot of thought goes into how and where graphics will appear on a particular piece of clothing.
We tend to take a minimalistic approach to design, avoiding “loud” and overly busy graphics that we believe can muddy the message and design itself. At the end of the day, it’s all about personal style and finding something that’s just right for you.

Want to dress up in a Disney-themed Halloween costume this year, but not sure what to wear?
We looked at what’s hot for Disney in 2024 and created this list of well over 20 Disney-inspired Halloween costumes that are totally on-trend for 2024.
Seven Trending Disney Halloween Costume Themes for 2024
Want to dress up in a Disney-themed Halloween costume this year, but not sure what to wear? We looked at what’s hot for Disney in 2024 and created this list of well over 20 Disney-inspired Halloween costumes that are totally on-trend for 2024.
There are seven Disney themes covering options for everyone here, including individuals, couples and group costumes.
Our Top Picks for Disney Halloween Costume Ideas for 2024
1. Inside Out
Inside Out 2 was a smash hit for Disney in 2024 and that brings a huge opportunity for Disney Halloween costume ideas that will be right on trend. With popular characters including Disgust, Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and more, you can go as your favorite character or a make a group costume by dressing as several of these. Have fun with creating your interpretation of your favorite from Inside Out 2.
2. Deadpool & Wolverine
Deadpool, Wolverine, Elektra, Blade, Johnny Storm… the list goes on and on. Dress as your favorite character from this 2024 Disney Marvel blockbuster film and you’ll be right on trend for Disney Halloween 2024.
3. Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion had a great year in 2024. First, there was a significant refurbishment at the Disneyland Haunted Mansion this year (including an updated seasonal ride overlay). Next, there was the return of the Hatbox Ghost to the Walt Disney World Haunted Mansion late last year. Both of these have added new energy to this timeless classic and make it worthy as a Halloween costume inspiration.
Great Haunted Mansion Halloween costume ideas for 2024 include the Hatbox Ghost, Madame Leota and the Hitchhiking Ghosts for a group idea. You can even go a step further and dress as a Haunted Mansion cast member if you want to get really creative.
Plus, with 999 Happy Haunts as residents, you can go even deeper, with costumes such as Constance Hatchaway (aka the axe wielding Bride in the attic), or your favorite character from inside the mansion.
4. Agatha Harkness and Witches
Witch costumes are definitely a great Disney inspired choice for 2024, led by Agatha Harkness and the Agatha All Along series on Disney Plus. You can do your best Agatha, or any witch inspired costume based on your favorite character from the series.
5. The Classic Ape
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was a hit for Disney in 2024 (the first film of a three movie trilogy) and this opens the door for a return to the classic ape costumes that were super popular when the original films were released. You may recall the episode of Big Bang Theory when Leonard, Raj and Howard dressed up for film-fest of the original movies. If you’re a fan of the franchise, grab your ape mask and update your outfit for Halloween 2024.
6. Retro Swimmer
Want to wear something totally different, Disney-inspired, that no one else will be wearing?
Daisy Ridley as Gertrude Eberle in Young Woman and the Sea was the sleeper film of the year. An excellent Disney movie (you should watch it if you haven’t seen it), this one opens the door for swimmer-inspired retro outfits. Grab your vintage bathing cap and swimsuit (or anything from the 1920s era) and you’re on your way.
If you want to go with something that’s a little different, but still Disney inspired, this is a great one to consider.
7. The Disney Classic Halloween Costumes
Finally, some Disney classic Halloween costumes never go out of style and the big three are Maleficent, Jack Skellington and Sally. If you’re looking for a timeless Disney Halloween costume this may just be the vibe for you.

Hoodies are very popular at Walt Disney World, especially during the evening hours during the colder months. So which hoodie should you wear and where did hoodies come from in the first place?
The History of the Hoodie: Who Invented the Hoodie?
Which Style of Hoodie is the Best Hoodie for a Disney World Vacation?
All Hoodies are Not Created Equal, So How Do You Choose?
Who Invented the Hoodie?
Today’s popular hoodie has a long history that goes all the way back to the 1930s, when the Knickerbocker Knitting Company designed the first hoodie sweatshirt (they basically sewed a hood onto a sweatshirt to add extra warmth). Today, that pioneering hoodie company is known as Champion.
After its launch, the hoodie gained popularity with the military, who found the design to be great for training purposes. Colleges and universities gave the hoodie enhanced popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, when the hoodie became synonymous with sportswear and branded logo hoodies emerged.
In the 1970s, skaters, surfers and the emerging rap and hip hop scene gave the hoodie a more “cool” and urban street vibe. With the release of the first Rocky film in 1976, the hoodie gained even more exposure as apparel for gritty athletics, as Rocky trained hard in his hoodie.
Nowadays, the hoodie remains very popular with even more variations: from sports, to street style, college athletics and functional casual wear. The hoodie is now firmly cemented as an iconic staple of casual wear apparel.
The Five Types of Hoodies
There are many variations of the classic hoodie, but the five main hoodie styles we tend to see include:
Within each of these five hoodie categories there are various types and styles, primarily based on weight and fabric. There are branded and non-branded hoodies and various color options and all-over-prints.
Hoodies are both a fashion statement and functional piece of apparel. Unlike the original plain grey hoodie (the kind of hoodie that Rocky wore in the ‘70s), it’s rare nowadays that you’ll see a plain blank hoodie with no graphic at all. The hoodie has gone fully commercial, a trend that took off in the 1990s.
Hoodies at Walt Disney World: Which Should You Wear?
At Walt Disney World, hoodies tend to appear in full force when the weather gets a little chilly and Cast Members roll out the hoodie racks for eager buyers.
So which hoodie is best? The most common and most popular hoodies are pullovers and zip ups. Pullover hoodies tend to be more popular, but if you prefer the convenience of a front zipper (the hoodie jacket), then the zip up hoodie can add more flexibility. Aesthetically, the pullover hoodie tends to have cleaner lines and a more traditional look – especially if a graphic is featured on the front (where it won’t be broken up by a zipper).
Ultimately, the choice of which hoodie is best comes down to personal preference: the perfect combination of comfort, fit and style.

Will you be visiting Walt Disney World in October 2024? October is typically a great month to visit Orlando and Walt Disney World. This year, it looks like the weather will co-operate to make for some great vacation time at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
How to Dress for October Weather and the Halloween Season at Walt Disney World
October 2024 in Orlando is Shaping Up to Be a Pretty Good Weather Month
October can be a great month to visit Disney World, especially if you like Halloween. Halloween décor and festivities are in full swing in October and the spooky season mood will be all around you. Of course, if Halloween isn’t your thing, it’s not the only game in town. The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is also under way in October, making a great option for more Disney fun and food.
Also in October, Canadian Thanksgiving happens mid-month (October 14), so if you are visiting Walt Disney World at that time you may see elevated crowds surrounding that weekend.
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in October 2024
The forecast for October 2024 at Walt Disney World continues this year’s trend of warmer-than-normal weather for Orlando.
For October 2024, Orlando and Walt Disney World daytime highs are forecast to range from 79°F (26°C) to 88°F (31°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 66°F (19°C) to 73°F (23°C). This is a little cooler than September, but still very warm and pleasant for your Disney vacation.
Another good sign is that there isn’t expected to be too much rain in the forecast. Of course, rain can be somewhat unpredictable in Orlando (especially with warmer temperatures), but October is looking to be a little drier than September.
October will start out with temperatures on the warmer side and then cool very slightly as the month progresses. All in all, however, October 2024 is shaping up to be a very good weather month at Walt Disney World.
What to Pack for Walt Disney World in October 2024
Packing for Walt Disney World in October 2024 means packing for a warm weather vacation. The nights will not be cold, so you can still get away with packing relatively light this October.
With Halloween being in full swing in October, it’s definitely a good idea to pack a seasonal outfit, t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie – if you have one. Evenings should be just cool enough on some days so that you won’t be too hot in a hoodie once the sun goes down.
Of course, if you plan to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom Park, you may want to bring a costume of some sort to celebrate the event.
Beyond Halloween, it’s also fall, so fall-themed attire is another top pick for October at Walt Disney World.
Given the warm temperatures, daytime outfits can include t-shirts, shorts, dresses and pretty much anything that you’d wear on a nice summer day. Evenings will be moderately cooler, so a hoodie or light jacket for after the sun goes down is also worth packing.

The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is a popular annual event at Walt Disney World that is a celebration of everything to do with food and drink. From food sampling stations, to wine tasting, instructional kitchens and more, there is something for everyone who enjoys celebrating food and wine (and other beverages as well).
If You’re Attending the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, Should You Dress Up?
Unlike Disney events such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the EPCOT festivals aren’t events that many people consider as dressing-up occasions.
But there are many guests who do like to dress for the occasion and if you enjoy styling outfits for events that you attend, then the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is a perfect place to put a little thought into your outfit.
So should you dress up? We say yes, at least in terms of putting a little thought into styling your outfit with a hint of food and wine fest flair.
What Should You Wear to the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival?
For the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, it’s not so much about dressing up as it is picking the perfect outfit. It’s styling your outfit versus wearing a costume.
Getting into the food and wine vibe is a great place to start. What you wear could be anything from graphic tees or print shirts that have food and wine theming, to something that you might wear to a vineyard for a wine tasting.
Most guests do not dress up, so you might not want to go too far with your outfit. After all, you will be walking around a fair bit in Florida heat and humidity, so it’s wise to balance style with functionality.
Personally, we believe that the Food and Wine Festival would be elevated if more guests did put a little more effort in their personal style when visiting the event. Plus, it makes it more fun and immersive for all attendees when the theming is extended to the attendees.
What do you think?
