What NOT To Wear To Disneyland

Let’s start by talking about what not to wear to Disneyland. The Disney parks don’t have a special dress code, but they do have a few things that they find inappropriate and do not allow guests to wear them in their parks. Here’s the info on inappropriate attire from the Disneyland Website.

Attire that is not appropriate for the theme parks (and which may result in refusal of admittance or ejection) includes but is not limited to:

• Costumes may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older
• Masks may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older (unless they are for medical purposes)
• Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics
• Excessively torn clothing or loose fitting clothing which may drag on the ground and create a potential trip hazard
• Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment
• Clothing with multiple layers are subject to search upon entry
• Visible tattoos that could be considered inappropriate, such as those containing objectionable language or designs
• Bare feet

What To Wear To Disneyland

Here’s a guide by season to help you decide what to wear to Disneyland. In my opinion, it’s always better to be prepared, so if there’s even a slight chance you might need something on this list, bring it! It’s better to have it than to wish you did.

What To Wear To Disneyland: Winter

Most people think of Southern California as the land of constant sunshine and hot days and it usually is. However, the winter months can have chilly mornings and evenings. Often the winter months can have downright cold weather. You need to be prepared so you don’t freeze if you end up visiting on a cold day.

I have a full guide to each of the winter months that will be so helpful for you!

• Disneyland in December
• Disneyland in January
• Disneyland in February

Bringing a light sweater and a hat is a good idea. I like to bring a light weight coat as well when I’m visiting Disneyland in the winter. Some people may want to bring gloves and a heavier jacket. I’ve spent some really cold days at the Disneyland resort. Layering is one of the best ways to stay comfortable in the winter.

The average high in the winter is 70 degrees F with a low of 48 degrees F. Disneyland gets about 4-5 rainy days each month during the winter. Keep an eye on the weather so you know what to expect! California weather can go from one extreme to the other. The rainy season runs from the end of October to the end of April. You can find info on Disneyland in the rain here.

What To Wear To Disneyland: Spring

Springtime is one of my favorite times to visit Disneyland! The trees are blossoming on Main Street and the weather is getting warmer! Early mornings can still be chilly, so make sure you have a jacket with you. The night time can also be cold, so pack layers! Make sure you keep an eye on the weather leading up to your trip so you can be prepared!

I have a full guide to each of the spring months that will be so helpful for you!

• Disneyland in March
• Disneyland in April
• Disneyland in May

The average high in the spring is 73 degrees F with a low of 54 degrees F. The chance of rain does go down a bit in the spring, but you’ll want to make sure you’re still prepared for for rain, just in case. Check out my guide to Disneyland in the rain if you’ve got rain in your forecast!

What To Wear To Disneyland: Summer

Summertime brings warmer weather(and long lines!) to the happiest place on earth! In fact, it can actually get quite hot. Please remember to use sunscreen and stay hydrated during the warmer months. I like to bring a reusable water bottle with me on my Disney vacation. Here’s an article about beating the heat at Disneyland that you’ll want to check out.

I have a full guide to each of the summer months that will be so helpful for you!

• Disneyland In June
• Disneyland In July
• Disneyland In August

Even though it’s hot during the day, the evenings can still be a bit chilly. I always have a jacket with me, just in case! Keep an eye on the weather so you’re prepared for any situation!

The average high in the summer is 83 degrees with a low of 65 degrees. There’s usually no rain during the summer months.

What to Wear To Disneyland: Fall

Visiting Disneyland in the fall is one of my favorite times to make a Disneyland visit. I enjoy the special events like the Oogie Boogie Bash and Halloween time. When I think of fall, I imagine crisp air and falling leaves. You probably do to, but that’s not accurate at Disneyland. The fall is still quite hot! So, make sure you are aware you’ll most likely be having hother weather if you visit Disneyland during the fall. More info on dealing with the heat at Disneyland here.

I have a full guide to each of the fall months that will be so helpful for you!

• Disneyland In September
• Disneyland In October
• Disneyland In November

The average high during the summer is 82 degrees F with a low of 58 degrees. Even though the days are warms, the nights can get cold, so make sure you’re prepared with a jacket or sweatshirt.

What To Wear To Disneyland: Shoes

Choosing which shoes to wear on your Disney trip is a very important thing. Your shoes can make or break your vacation. It’s important to choose shoes that you’ll be able to walk around in all day long. High heels are out! I have had really great luck with Brooks tennis shoes. They have great support and I can walk all day in them without any trouble.

I also really like my tevas. They are another good option. I can walk all day in these shoes as well without any trouble. I like my tevas for warmer months because I can wear them on water rides and not have to worry about wet/soggy tennis shoes.

I will sometimes bring a pair of flip flops and change into them before water rides to keep my shoes dry! Changing to flip flops for a couple of hours during the day is also a great way to give my feet a break from tennis shoes.

Whichever shoes you choose(there’s lots of great options!), consider switching out shoes each day of your visit. Different shoes put pressure on different parts of your feet. Changing shoes each day can be a great way to avoid sore feet.

What To Wear To Disneyland: Dapper Day

Have you heard of Dapper Day at Disneyland? It’s a special event held at Disneyland that celebrates fun, refined style from yesterday and today. During this fun event, guests dress up in incredible outfits! Wondering what to wear to Disneyland on Dapper Days? Some are choose outfits inspired by a favorite character, others are inspired by Disney days gone by and some are just plain fun! Guests spend so much time planning the perfect outfit and it’s really fun to see all the creativity! You can find out more about Dapper Day here.

What To Wear To Disneyland: Mickey Ears

I absolutely love wearing a pair of Mickey ears to the Disney parks! They’re such a fun way to dress up any outfit and really get you in the Disney spirit! There’s lots of fun options for purchase at the Disney parks, but I’ve found their ears to be a bit heavy and the headbands sometimes give me a headache. I’ve found an ETSY shop with adorable ears that are comfortable and cute! Allie’s Ears are so much fun and she even does custom orders. You can find her shop here.

Whenever you’re visiting, make sure you use your common sense when you’re deciding what to wear to Disneyland. I usually go with comfort in mind and pack accordingly. Make sure you check the weather so you’re ready for whatever comes your way!
