Dapper Day at Disneyland - Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011
 

Some Disney fans (and someone named Justin Jorgensen) is organizing Dapper Day at Disneyland on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011. This idea seems well "suited" for all you stylish and snappy dressers at Lounge of Tomorrow!

I'm thinking of going to this and joining other sharp-dressed Disney fans that day. Hopefully, it won't rain too much on Sunday.

Event Background:
Spend a day at the park in high style.

The original Disneyland designers frequently populated their renderings with guests who appeared dressed for a day of sophisticated entertainment -- because this was Disneyland after all! A new, highly developed, exhaustively detailed entertainment experience. No flip-flops or cargo shorts here! These were men in sharp suits, toddlers working two-pieces, and ladies looking like pages 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 this day is about, realizing those designer's dreams that Disneyland be seen as the upscale escape that it is, filled with guests dressed appropriately for it.

Interpret this however you like (but no prom dresses please -- barf). A period "Mad Men" look is as correct as the latest haute couture, be creative, go Gaga, anything that would make the legendary and stylish Disney designers Mary Blair, John Hench, Herbie Ryman, Dorthea Redmond, Harriet Burns and the rest of the stylish WED lot look proud -- or blush!

Bring cameras. Stage impromptu photoshoots. See you at the park. Werk.

Park Hours on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011:
Disneyland 8 a.m. to midnight

Annual Pass Blockouts:
Note: Since it will be Presidents Day Weekend on Sunday, Feb. 20, the Annual Pass levels of SoCal and Deluxe are blocked out. Blockout Day tickets are $50.

Aw, now ya made me wish I had a pass. And a pair of gloves. And this dress.

Awesome idea - too bad so many people are blocked. Perhaps we should organize our own someday.

I like it. I get so sick of seeing people in poorly fitting, stained, torn clothes when I am in the park.

I just saw a pic of Worthy (not of this board, but many here know him) all gussied up for Dapper Day. He looks faaaaaaaaabulouuuuuuuuus!

Agreed that we should do our own Dapper Day!

How about our own diaper day?

Um...no?

Sure Kevy. Come on over any day you want, plenty of diapers for you to change

Well, one thing assured, I will never assist your wife in making that costume for you, nor do I ever want to see it. ;)

We were at the park and saw Dapper Daniel and a bunch of the Dapper folk. Some cool stuff. They were on the top level of the Twain waiving to everyone.

Love the photos on the facebook page. I wonder how many time the participants where mistaken for cast members.

Where there any problems at the front gate for being "in costume"?

I've gone to Disneyland on Sunday after church in a suit and tie. I had no problems getting in, but that was about 10 years ago. Now no one even wears a suit to my church any more, so I think things have changed quit a bit. But with celebrations like weddings, proms, Friday night zoot suits, and stuff going on at the resort, I don't think it's completely unusual to see people dressed up now and again. plus, I realy don't think anyone will consider suits, gowns, and tuxes as a costume.

Vintage wear is not unheard of.

I'm still sad the Vintage costume thingy we were going to do at Tower of Terror got cancelled a few years back. That would have been awesome.

Yes, but some years are easier to pull off than others... except on Bats Day, when they pretty much tolerate anything.

costumers guild west (one of those dorky costume groups I belong to) is having a 50's meetup Sunday March 25th I plan to wear the dress I made for Steve's last birthday party, and gloves and a little hat too : )
wish I had known about dapper day beforehand!
