10 This or That Questions that Answer What’s Best to Wear in Disney Parks

Ever wonder how to choose between two things when planning your Disney travel outfits?

Mike and Amelia discuss, debate and pick the winners in 10 categories of Disney travel This or That? Get the answers to 10 top questions about this or that Disney travel fashion and style.

Disney Travel Style: This or That

1. In the Disney Parks: Subtle Disney Shirt or Obvious Disney Shirt. This or That?

Subtle Disney shirt is our top pick in this category. Keep your obvious Disney shirts for back home when you're not on vacation. Plus, Disney Cast Members often comment on the subtle Disney shirts that they don't see every day.

What about outside the Parks?

Outside the parks on a Disney vacation, subtle Disney shirts are still a top pick.

2. For a casual dinner (such as the Grand Floridian Café): casual shorts/leggings or a dress? This or That?

A dress is a great option for women, as it's a little more, well, dressy.

For men: nice casual shorts and a short sleeve button up shirt or pants and casual dress shirt?

For men, casual shorts with a short sleeve button shirt is a great choice and can be worn on many other occasions on your vacation.

3. For visiting the Disney Parks: a hat or Disney ears? This or That?

Disney ears are the winner here, because there aren't many other places you can really wear Disney ears and feel confident. But this doesn't include if you need a hat for utility purposes.

4. Wearing a hat in Disney Parks: a ball cap or wide brim hat? This or That?

A ball cap is more functional if you go on a lot of rides. They can be stowed and stored more easily. But, you will get a ball-cap tanline (if you're concerned about that). A wide brim hat offers more protection and is a good choice if you don't go on fast rides.

5. For Disney World in cooler weather: jeans or leggings? This or That?

While there is a bit of an anti-jeans feeling among many Disney travelers, Amelia still feels that leggings or loose pants are a better pick (also considering that jeans are less forgiving around the waistline). Mike is a little more on the anti-jeans side of the fence.

6. For Disney Parks in cooler weather: a hoodie or sweatshirt? This or That?

This one's close and can depend on whether or not the hoodie is zip up or pullover (zip up offers more flexibility). The crew neck sweatshirt gets a slight edge here.

7. Walking the Disney Parks: Converse Chuck Taylor’s or Running Shoes/sneakers? This or That?

The response is split on this one. Amelia recommends sneakers or tennis shoes, while Mike prefers his Converse All-Stars. Your best bet here is to get with what is most comfortable for you in other long-walk situations.

8. A cotton t-shirt or a button-up short-sleeve shirt? This or That?

Mike recommends a short-sleeve button-up shirt over the t-shirt here. Mainly because button-up shirts are less hot and more flexible for both parks and dining.

9. Which top is best: cotton or linen? This or That?

Assuming the best quality of both items, linen is the pick for both Mike and Amelia.

10. If you need to carry a bag in a Disney Park: a backpack or sling bag/crossbody? This or That?

For easy access and less bulk, the crossbody or sling bag is the winner here. Small backpacks were trendy 10 years ago and are not as accessible. So unless you need a large backpack for utility reasons, go with the more flexible crossbody type of bag.
