“We suggest you dress comfortably, wear good walking shoes and check the local weather report before you leave for the parks,” according to Disney’s official dress code — all logical advice.

Disney also expects you to use good judgment: “Ensuring that the parks are family friendly is an important part of the Disney experience. In that spirit, we ask you to use your discretion and common sense.” (Inappropriate wardrobe includes objectionable T-shirt prints and costumes for guests over 14.)

Disneyland Marquee Ear Headband for Adults
No matter your age or gender, it’s pretty much a prerequisite to rock a pair of Mickey ears and show your spirit. Take your pick of options from characters to holiday motifs and more — like this sequined set featuring Disneyland’s iconic marquee — and march right in at rope drop in a standout style.
Hoka Bondi 8 Sneakers
It’s no stretch to expect you’ll log 20,000 steps on the trusty Apple Watch by the time you limp to the car at the end of the day. Make sure your feet are prepared for the task with an ultra-comfortable pair of sneakers. The fashion world is famously enamored with Hokas, which feel like walking on a cloud. (There are also plenty of colorways that can help you channel your favorite Disney character, from these Ariel-worthy kicks these pretty pink sneakers fit for a princess.)
Fitflop Lulu Adjustable Leather Slides
If the weather is hot, you might opt for a pair of sandals for ventilation instead. But wear flip-flops or something similarly unsupportive at your own peril. Fitflop’s comfy padded sandals get the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance. The brand’s proprietary Microwobbleboard midsoles are “biomechanically engineered for pressure diffusion, impact reduction and unbeatable cushioning and comfort.”
MC2 St. Barth Mickey Mouse Cotton T-Shirt
A day at Disney is all about embracing Mickey Mouse logos — but you can still make it fashion. This practical cotton tee by MC2 Saint Barth has a look inspired by souvenir tees of the past with its vintage-inspired Mickey print.
Diff Eyewear Disney Princess Jasmine Sunglasses
For a day out in the park (especially in Anaheim’s year-round sun), shield your eyes from those harsh rays. This gorgeous pair from Diff’s Disney Princess eyewear collection channels Jasmine and features polarized lenses with 100 percent UV protection. We love that they also come in optical and kids options; grown-up frames also include a free sunnies chain for a limited time.
Herschel Norman Bucket Hat
Further protect your face and eyes from too much sun exposure with a brimmed topper. This unstructured bucket hat is easy to wear and unisex, made of 100 percent cotton twill with a striped liner that is the signature of the brand better known for its backpacks.
Lole Ultralight Packable Jacket
Even warm or mild days are known to cool off substantially after dusk in Southern California. So layers are always key for a day at the park. Wear or bring a lightweight, packable jacket — like this one by Lole — to warm up in the evenings or after getting doused in a water ride. This garment is water repellent and packs away tidily into its front pocket when you don’t need it.
Crocs Mickey Mouse Classic Clog
If you’re heading for a Disney water park, water shoes are essential. But do be aware that shoes with any metal components are not permitted on the slides because of the damage risk they pose to surfaces. Crocs’ comfy all-foam Mickey Mouse Classic Clogs pass muster with their breathable design; other Disney-inspired styles are available, including for kids.
