Dapper Day at Disney

Dapper Day - When the fashionable visit the Disney parks!

The original Disneyland designers frequently populated their renderings with guests who appeared dressed for a day of sophisticated entertainment, men in sharp suits, toddlers working two-pieces, and ladies looking like a page from Dior's sketchbook - all as if a visit to Disneyland were on par with a night at the opera. And why shouldn't it be? That's what Dapper Day is about, realizing those designer's dreams that Disneyland be experienced as the upscale escape that it is, filled with fashionable guests ready for fun.

Interpret this however you like. A period "Mad Men" look is as correct as the latest haute couture.

Dapper Day is not a private ticketed event. (You will need a park ticket or annual pass as usual.) There's two events every year, a spring all-day happening in February - celebrated at all Magic Kingdom parks worldwide, and a fall, evening event celebrated at Disneyland and WDW.

DAPPER DAY: An Evening Affair, 6pm-midnight Friday, September 7, 2012 at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris. Schedules and meet-up times will be posted this summer at www.dapperday.com.
