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…
Sandals
If you opt for a t-shirt and shorts, I’d personally opt for sneakers but if you go for a romper, sandals just elevate your look a touch more.

You can make your look incredibly trendy while staying comfortable if you choose the right sandals.
Just make sure you choose correctly and wear something secure as you don’t want to be wearing slides or flip flops on certain attractions.

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.
