Are you trying to figure out what to wear to Disneyland in May?
Don’t worry, I’m here to help!
May is a phenomenal time for a trip to Disneyland as it’s the sweet spot of spring between the brisk chill of winter and the overwhelming heat of summer.
The temperatures are rising making for an enjoyable day in the parks without getting too hot, while the month is bursting with events and holidays filling Disneyland with excitement.
May is a relatively easy month for deciding what to wear to Disneyland as you don’t necessarily need to worry about temperature extremes.
Park days are enjoyable with a mild climate in Anaheim but this typically means you will be doing more exploring and tracking more steps.
For the many miles you’ll walk at Disneyland, comfort is key but that doesn’t mean you need to compromise on style.

Sweater
You can easily get away without a sweater in May but I’d rather take one and not use it than stand watching the fireworks feeling the cold. Just my opinion…

- Hottest style. Fashion & Trendy
- Cute and Comfortable Wedge Sandals

You can make your look incredibly trendy while staying comfortable if you choose the right sandals.

Top Tips on Choosing the Best Outfits for Disneyland in May
Now that you know what to wear to Disneyland, let’s go over a few tips to help you get started.
1. Get Your Star Wars Gear Early
If you are planning on showcasing your Star Wars fandom throughout the month of May, plan in advance to save yourself money on park prices.
Star Wars clothing is available everywhere and you can get it for a really affordable price.
However, shops on Batuu do have some unique gems that are worth the premium.
2. Pack Light
With less layers to carry with you and minimal chance of rain, May is a month when your park essentials are drastically reduced.
You may want to consider a fanny pack rather than a backpack for your park day. Great for staying hands-free and easier getting on and off attractions.
