THE STORY: The original Disneyland designers frequently populated their renderings with guests dressed for a day of sophisticated entertainment - 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 Dapper Day is about, realizing those designers’ dreams that (for one day at least) the park be filled with guests dressed fashionably and ready for fun.
Interpret this however you like. Considering the park has been open since 1955, a period "Mad Men" look is as correct as the latest haute couture. Give us color, glamour, and sophistication no matter what decade you choose!

Dapper Day events are not private ticketed happenings, but simply a day us stylish folk have decided to visit the Disney park(s) en masse.
"Dapper Day" is an independently organized social gathering neither operated by nor associated with The Walt Disney Company.
(Note: if you are dressed in a way that appears to be a costume, or a park cast member, you may be asked to make modifications (like adding a jacket) so other guests don’t mistake you for an employee.)
Bring cameras. Stage impromptu photoshoots. See you at the park.
