Walking around Walt Disney World, you’re guaranteed to see hundreds of people wearing Disney clothing and accessories. Some of it’s from the Disney Store back home, some of it they just picked up at the theme park, and some of it they custom ordered so their group can match while on vacation.
From sneakers to t-shirts, I’ve been wearing Disney clothes for over 25 years. Over time, I’ve worn more of it at home in private, but I want that to change. Being a Disney fangirl is nothing to be ashamed of.
Like I said, I can’t resist walking into The Disney Store when I’m nearby. I’ve bought Disney things all over Canada and the United States, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I pick up something Disney related once I explore other countries.
T-Shirt
When I went to New York last year, I made my first purchase of the trip at the Disney Store in Times Square. I love that store because there’s a ton of special products with a New York theme that you won’t find elsewhere. I picked up a black graphic t-shirt with mouse ears filled with icons of the city, such as Times Square, Central Park and the Empire State Building. It features Minnie Mouse dressed up as the Statue of Liberty too!
In Orlando this month, I picked up 2 accessories: silver sequin Minnie Mouse ears and a printed scarf.
Minnie Mouse Ears
I’ve tried on Minnie Mouse ears in different colours many times before and they didn’t fit (I’ve had a large head since birth), so when I was on Main St. in Magic Kingdom and these ones felt comfortable, I had to have them! I didn’t want to wear them around the park, but they’ll be part of my next Halloween costume for sure! Can’t you see it now – girl in the red jeans with a black top and Minnie Mouse ears? Spoiler alert!
Scarf
Next, I walked around every store in Disney Springs AKA Downtown Disney, which is the ultimate shopping destination when you’re at Walt Disney World. There were a few things I considered, but the thing I liked the most was a scarf. I love how it matches my website – it’s a white scarf with red, black and grey polka dots with mini Mickey Mouse ears scattered subtly throughout. This seemed like a practical choice because it doesn’t scream Disney, yet will still remind me of magical memories at the Disney theme parks.
I had a great time on my last trip to Walt Disney World and I noticed how my shopping experience there changed, as I got older. This was the first trip that I didn’t buy any stuffed animals and instead focused on buying clothes and accessories at Walt Disney World and surrounding malls. Keep an eye on my social media channels to see other things I picked up in Orlando!
