Anyone who’s searched “cute Disney outfits” on Pinterest has most likely come across tons of images of intricate Mickey Mouse-adorned looks that are just downright adorable. Unfortunately, most of those photos were taken at Disneyland, where the weather permits such styles, and not at Walt Disney World, where the same can’t be said. As someone who grew up and lived near central Florida for nearly 15 years, I can confidently tell you that the heat in the Sunshine State is no joke. Making it extremely difficult to look and feel your best at Disney World.
But as a savvy and stylish shopping writer, I’ve figured out how to survive such conditions while looking absolutely fabulous (according to park goers and myself). Which is why I’ve created this guide, so we can feel positively magical at the Happiest Place on Earth. Here, I’ve outlined a handful of clothing, bags, and accessory options that’ll make your time chic and comfortable. And of course, you can expect everything to be decked out in all things Disney — from Mickey & Friends to iconic Pixar characters, you’re bound to find your favorites here. Take a sneak peek at some of the best options now.

What is the Weather Like at Walt Disney World?
Fortunately (or unfortunately, however you decide to look at it), Walt Disney World sits smack dab in the middle of the Sunshine State in Orlando. There, it feels like summer for most of the year, aside from the very short winter season Florida experiences during November through January. Because the parks are situated more inland, the weather is typically hot and humid, with highs that can reach up to 90 degrees and beyond. If you end up going during the extended summer months, you’re bound to have some sweaty days while you’re there, which is why cool and breezy fabrics are a must.
However, if you’re like me who really wants to get some holiday ‘fits in the work, the best time of year is to go towards the end of the year, during October, November, or December. The weather is usually much cooler giving you leeway to wear comfy sweatshirts or sweaters the entire day. Plus, I find that the older I get, I can last longer in the park when it’s cooler — and with the amount of money a ticket costs, you better believe I’m getting a full day in no matter what.
What Should I Wear to Walt Disney World?
Since the weather is usually hot for the majority of the year, it can be a little limiting on what you can wear that’ll keep you cool, dry, and comfortable. The best recommendation is to find comfy athleisure pieces that you can last all day inand are made out of sweat-wicking fabrics. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t show off some Disney swag. You justhave to get a little creative with it. Take this opportunity to channel your favorite characters with the same color scheme or reach for accessories that show them off in unique ways.
Below, take a closer look at some of my favorite pieces that I’ve worn to Walt Disney World already this year and what I’m buying to wear this winter — because in my Floridian opinion, that’s the best time of year to go, but we can get into that another time.
Best Tees for Walt Disney World
If you’re going during the long summer season, your best bet is a sweat-wicking sports bra, athletic tank top, a breezy t-shirt or something along those lines. I would also consider leaning into light colors like white so it doesn’t attract the sun’s heat as much.

If you’re like me, who loves to go during the holiday season when it’s slightly chiller, this is the section you need to be in. You can finally wear comfy sweatshirts and hoodies, cozy sweaters, and most importantly spirit jerseys. I would recommend wearing a plain tank top underneath just in case you need to shed some layers.

Best Bottoms for Walt Disney World
No matter what time of year, the best bottoms for Walt Disney World are going to be something lightweight. If you’re going in the summer, I would recommend shorts — like denim, activewear, and tennis skorts. But if you want something a little longer I’d also consider leggings, yoga pants, and lightweight sweats especially if you’re thinking about heading to the parks during the winter.

Best Bags for Walt Disney World
Honestly, I could do an entire story on accessories alone but we’re sticking to the necessities for now. And nothing is more important than the bag you carry at Disney World. It can either make or break your trip. It has to be big enough to hold the necessities like your phone, keys, wallet, and snacks. But it also needs to be lightweight so you don’t feel bogged down. Trust me, there’s a science to it and these bags will help.

Best Ears for Walt Disney World
Don’t forget the ears! While some may consider this an extra, I say it’s a necessity. If I had to pick just one accessory to wear at the parks, it has to be a pair of ears. Nowadays, there aren’t just Mickey ears available. You’ve got Minnie ears, Winnie the Pooh ears, and so much more.
