Dou You Wear NEW Clothes to Disney Parks?

[Disney Doll]

I do buy some new things every trip. I'm always looking for an excuse to shop. I have several Disney shirts that I only wear in the world so I bring those along as well. My main priority is comfort, but we do take lots of pictures so I don't want to look sloppy.

I like to wear what is comfortable. If I need a new something & a trip is upcoming, then I wear something new. More important is comfort & looking nice for photos, etc. DH wears button down short sleeve shirts for the most part to the parks. He actually finds them to be cooler (in a temperature sort of way) than the tee shirts that so many seem to prefer (and I think they look nicer). I do like to bring a light weight hoodie or long sleeve button down to through on when we go from outside in the heat to inside with the AC on.

I am a big guy so I dress comfortable/casual.
Most WDW shops do not have anything my size, but I do purchase several new hats each trip, probably have accumulated a few dozen by now.

[EeyoresBestFriend]

I take a mix of old favorites and some new ones.

The scary thing is I find myself looking at a summer top and thinking "that would be perfect for DisneyWorld ~ even if it gets wet".
I think that's a top three sign of DOD (Disney Obsession Disorder) and also shows that I spend too much time at WDW and nowhere else on the planet. Oh well . . . .

Try croc butter. It works great!

I'll do that, thanks!

I usually get new socks for a trip...I don't really know why, but a WDW trip always means it's time for new socks! The funniest part is that at least 60% of the time, I wear flip flops while I'm in the parks, so I don't even need socks!!!

[Pop Centurion]

I buy a few new things for our trip plus a new pair of sneakers. (actually I use WDW as an excuse for new sneakers since I buy so many pair)

My girlfriend buys everything new just for the trip. Plus being a typical woman, she buys more outfits than days in the trip. Half of the clothes she bought last year just for WDW still has the tags on them

[mickeys_princess_mom]

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.

You're a good guy. I have one of those.
I do buy some new clothes--it's part of the fun of anticipation. Pictures are a consideration, and I do give thought to not wearing clothes that were in the last ones. I don't buy enough for the whole trip though--love to pick out some new things while we're there. Love wearing them later and remembering.

It depends on what we need. Sometimes we just are in need of extras that you don't need at home. There are certain things you can get away with at home ( - jorts - ) that we wouldn't wear outside the house other then for yard work.

Also upstate NY (especially this year) a handful of decent warm weather clothes with your own washer & dryer are all we need. so extras are necessary to take for the florida heat & not to have to do laundry every 3 days.

I am lucky enough to be a SAHM this is my one valid excuse to get new clothes. Since my youngest is 4 I don't think I can get away with maternity clothes now can I?

I always buy some retro Disney tees before getting to the parks.

On our last trip we bought some new clothes. For this trip since we will be celebrating an anniversary and a birthday I have decided to make some new matching shirts. Plus we bought matching shirts from the Disney store that also match- very dirt cheap.

some days i wear nice shorts but if there is a water park the waters kinda nasty so i wear like quick drying atheltic shorts. I usually dont dress that nice for the parks but i looks nicer at night when we go out to dinner and dont usually ride as many rides. I need to be comfortable but ya I dont want to sorta mess up my nice new clothes so i save them for night time when im not sitting on rides!

[indytraveler]

Only new purchase is matching shirts for one day. We used to buy new matching outfits for the kids in bright colors so we could pick them out of a crowd. But since they are older now (15, 13, 9) it is a little difficult. I do have my Disney shirt that I have worn last 3 trips. A breathable shirt that wicks moisture away. Problem is when I look back at pictures I don't know which year it is.

Problem is when I look back at pictures I don't know which year it is.

That would be easy for me. I could tell each year by the extra 10 pounds and additional grey hair i have added on.

2006: Still look good, 175 lbs., mostly black hair
2007: Look just ok now, 185 lbs., grey creeping in
2008: What the hell happened to me? 195 lbs. hair looks like I go to Bea Arthur's hair stylist!
2009: Annual trip cancelled due to all of my extra income going to Jenny Craig membership and monthly Just For Men treatments!!

Our trips are normally in November and I'm always running out trying to find summer shirts. Somehow everything I put away at the end of August grows mysterious spots in the drawer.

[ASweetLov]

Months before my Disney vacations I always look for new jean capris and new character shirts to buy. I don't dress fancy, but I dress comfortable and clean.

[r4kids]

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.

Ditto!!

[vws_and_disney]

Always! Me and DW seem to start clothes shopping a few months before and everything goes into a large suitcase until the night before when we seperate all the clothes to their respective suitcases. it makes it fun, kind of like the first day of school.

[caryrae]

We will only bring new cloths if there is stuff that doesn't fit anymore otherwise with what it can cost for a Disney trip our cloths we already have will do just fine. I end up buying a few t-shirts and baseball caps anyway while at WDW.

I wear what's comfortable....
