Springing Into Dapper Day 2018

It’s time to break out your white gloves, bow ties, and red lipstick; Dapper Day is back at Walt Disney World! On April 28 and 29, experience the Parks in style when you participate in Dapper Day.

This year during the WDW Spring event, Saturday’s vintage inspired outing takes place at Magic Kingdom while Sunday is all about stylish strutting through the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot.

What is Dapper Day? Dapper Day is put on by an organization of the same name that encourages Disney World and Disneyland attendees two weekends a year to come spend a day in the park dressed, well, dapper! Dapper is stylish, and neat. Basically, enjoy the day dressed in retro and vintage inspired looks from famous fashions of the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s! Join thousands of other creatively dressed people and look like you walked right out of a picture from opening day at the park, or like you belong on 1920s Main Street USA!

Still not sure if Dapper Day is up your alley or how to participate? Here are a few past TMSM articles to help you get started with the basics (these articles discuss Dapper Day Fall 2017 but the principles are the same).
