What to Wear to Disney World for Comfort
Being comfortable is so important when it comes to Disney World. You’ll be doing quite a bit of walking each day of your trip at the parks.
A comfortable pair of shoes and a light-weight t-shirt are a must! This is one of the number one tips that I can give you.
Leave the high-heeled shoes and brand-new pair of shoes behind. This is not the time to break in your new purchases!
- Fabric
- not_water_resistant
Walking shoes, waterproof sneakers, or anything that protects your feet from hating you at the end of the day are a must.
- [Stretchable Fabric Upper]: Whether it’s naturally breathable materials, technical membranes and meshes or Active Air technology, our shoes help you move more comfortably
- [Easy On and Off]: Are you tired of just lacing your darn shoes every time? These women’s walking shoes feature elastic slip-on closure with a small tab at the backs to help users pull them on
- [Reduce Heel Pain]: The women’s walking shoes with Arch Support insole as well as Memory Foam construction which are a great option for women who suffer from plantar fasciitis, bunions, and other foot pain, our shoes provide support where it’s needed most
- [Great Traction]: Cushion design softens your steps, durable rubber outsole will keep you safe, stable and comfortable on any terrain. The work shoes for women are both attractive and functional
- [Occasion]: These sock sneakers for women are great for any daily occasion, such as walking, long time standing, work, food service, nursing, gardening, shopping, traveling, driving, jazz, tap dance, street jazz, leisure, athletic, workout, indoor and outdoor activities
I also highly recommend sunglasses and/or a hat for all the time spent outdoors.

Best Clothes for Disney World: The Fashionista
Vintage Mickey and Disney prints are really in style right now. These vintage style designs can be on shirts, crop tops, sweaters, backpacks, and much more!
Every Disney Fashionista needs a Minnie Mouse Ear headband. It’s a must for pictures in front of the castle!
I’ve noticed a lot of influencers also wearing skirts and Disney graphic tees that show their love for their favorite character or ride.
The best time to show off your perfect Walt Disney World outfit is during Dapper Day!
It’s during this time that you can get super creative and mix in a bit of fashion with a theme park twist!
What to Wear to Disney World for the Disney Bounder
Disney Bounding is when someone dresses in non-costume clothes that resemble a character.
A blogger came up with the concept of Disney Bounding so people can still represent their favorite characters in their own individual style.
Think of your favorite character that you would like to dress as at the park. Then, use their style to influence what you wear.
For example, if I was Disney Bounding as Ariel I might wear all green clothes and a seashell necklace.
So many fun and themed accessories can be found on Amazon or at party supply stores. Be creative! DIYing an outfit is half the fun sometimes.
It’s always so exciting to see someone’s vision of a character!
Best Clothes for Disney World for Water Park Days
On water park days, leave the Minnie headbands at the hotel room. Anything you wear should be able to get wet.
Seriously, you get soaked at the water parks.
If you don’t want to wear a bathing suit there, you could wear a waterproof swim shirt.
The Florida sun is no joke especially if you’re not used to it. You can develop a sunburn very quickly in the summer months. Lather up that sunscreen and protect yourself.
Some guests choose to wear waterproof shoes at the water parks to prevent having to hold them or stash them in a locker. They’re also good to protect your feet from hot concrete.
What to Wear to Disney World for the Winter Season
January is usually the coldest month in Florida.
Even if where you are coming from is a lot colder, it’s still a good idea to pack a jacket and warm clothes.
It can get into the 40’s sometimes even 30’s at night in the winter.
A fleece zip up or a pullover hoodie is perfect for winter especially if it’s warmer during the day. Tie it around your waist, you’ll be thankful later on!

Best Clothes for Disney World for the Spring Season
By the end of February or early March, Florida starts seeing warmer weather at night.
Depending on where you are traveling from you might still have snow on the ground!
Even if that’s the case, you may still want to bring a light jacket and layers in case the weather stays low at night
What to Wear to Disney World in the Summer Season
If you’re traveling to Disney in the summer, plan for very hot days and lots of heavy rain.
Seriously, it will rain almost every day of your trip in June and July.
Shorts, short sleeves, sunscreen and sunglasses will help with the heat. A light rain jacket or poncho will protect you from the rain.
Many people wear fans around their neck or cooling towels to stay cool.
Have a lot of patience if you are traveling to Disney during these months. The heat can make people crazy!
Best Clothes for Disney World in the Fall
Fall is such a beautiful time in Florida! It’s a lot warmer than most other places at that time and you could easily wear shorts and short sleeves.
It may even be hotter than you think! You’ll also want to plan for some rain around this time as well (as every season really!)
There are so many trendy Disney crewneck sweaters that go perfect with the fall vibe.
If you are going to Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party, then you’ll want to pack a Halloween costume!
This is a ticketed event and costumes can be worn during this time but not during the regular park day.
What to Wear to Disney World When Lounging at the Resort
Don’t forget that the ultimate reason to go on vacation is to relax!
When hanging out at the resort, my go-to outfit is sweatpants and a tank top. I have to always have casual and comfy vibes in my room and around the resort area.
While at the pool you’ll want your bathing suit, flip-flops and wide brimmed hat to block the sun.
- Womens Disney Mickey Mouse swimsuit
- Oh boy, isn’t this the greatest Disney bathing suit you ever did see
- Sporting a classic retro print of a cheeky Mickey Mouse, this eye-popping red swimsuit is perfect for any Disney mascot
- Whether at the Mickey Clubhouse or the beach, you’ll have plenty of Disney pizazz in this swimming costume
- Officially licensed Disney merchandise
The resorts have restaurants and bar areas as well. This can be casual or a little fancier depending on your taste.
Or maybe you’ll want to wear all the new Disney park merchandise you bought over the last few days!
The choice is up to you!
