  • Top Five Questions About What to Pack for Disney World in Winter

    Top Five Questions About What to Pack for Disney World in Winter
    Oct 22 2024
    If you’re traveling to Walt Disney World during the colder winter months, you may be wondering if there are certain things you need to pack for Florida in the winter.There are a few things about packing for Walt Disney World in winter that you may not have consideredWe answer the top five most common questions that we’ve been asked over the years from travelers visiting Disney World in the winter for the first time.Five Questions and Answers About Packing for a Winter Walt Disney World VacationThe five most common questions that you’re probably asking yourself if you’re traveling to Walt Disney World in winter for the very first time. 1. Will I need a heavy coat? You won’t usually need a heavy coat for Walt Disney World in the winter. Can it get cold enough for a ski jacket? Sure, it has happened. But generally, you should be fine with a jacket or hoodie, particularly if you plan to visit the parks or go out after dark. The Florida sun brings warmth in the winter, but once the sun sets you feel the cold a lot more. 2. Should I bring a swim suit? It’s usually cool during the winter months (December and January for example) and the Disney resort hotel pools are not crowded. Do people swim? Yes, some do. One option is to hop in the hot tub by the pool. That way you can keep warm and still get that outdoor pool feeling. So if you don’t mind swimming in cooler temps (or if your kids don’t), then packing a swimsuit is not a bad idea. Just remember you may need a warmer cover up when walking to and from the pool as the air will be cooler than summer months. 3. Will I need a poncho or umbrella? This is an interesting question because in the past we would have said no. It didn’t used to rain too much in the winter during our Disney World vacations, however, that has changed. We’re not fans of ponchos in the hot summer months, but when the air is cooler during the winter, a poncho is not a bad idea. If the weather calls for rain, then a rain jacket (which can double as your cool night jacket), poncho or small travel umbrella are items to consider. 4. Can I still wear shorts? If you are a shorts person and like the freedom and light packing that come with wearing shorts, then by all means you can get away with wearing shorts on a sunny winter day at Walt Disney World. You might need something a little more after the sun goes down, however, which brings us to our next point. 5. Should I pack jeans, long pants or leggings? Even when shorts are a great option in the sunny hours of the day, nighttime at Walt Disney World in the winter can be much cooler. We find that night temperatures can still be comfortable for shorts at times, but at others (when it gets colder), you will likely be far more comfortable with your legs covered (especially if it’s windy). So, we recommend that you bring at least one pair of leg coverings of your choice. It could be what you wear on travel day if you’re coming from a cooler climate, which will save luggage space (the same goes for your jacket, by the way).Top Tip: Check the Orlando Weather Before Your Leave As always, be sure to check to the weather at Walt Disney World on a local Orlando weather app the day before you leave in order to get the best forecast for your vacation period. That may help to tip the scale one way or another if you’re not sure about packing a certain item or two.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, we that you enjoyed it.

  • Graphic T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies: Does Graphic Placement Matter?

    Graphic T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies: Does Graphic Placement Matter?
    Oct 15 2024
    What is the most popular spot for graphics to appear on t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies? And what difference does it make?What is the Best Spot for Graphics on Hoodies, Sweatshirts and T-Shirts? Graphics hoodies, sweatshirts and t-shirts have been popular for decades. Originally, it began with printed graphics or words on the front center of the garment only. But things have changed a lot over the years. Nowadays you can find graphics printed on the front, back, front and back, left chest, sleeve, upper arm and more. So which style of t-shirt is the most popular and which designs suit buyers the best? Six Common Graphic Placements on T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies Center Chest Graphic This is the most common graphic placement, centered in the top half of the t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie. The center chest can be smaller in size, especially if its an embroidery. Full Front Graphic The full front design covers the full length of the shirt. It is centered, but stretches from top to bottom. This is often seen for large letter message designs. Left Chest Graphic The left chest design is typically a small logo or iconic. It is sometimes embroidered and popular on golf shirts and polo shirts as well as t-shirts. These are simple, iconic placements avoiding too much detail due to the small size. Sleeve and Arm Graphics On t-shirts, the sleeve design is often a logo or another element that ties into a main graphic on the front or back of the shirt. The same goes for arm printing on hoodies and sweatshirts. Upper Back Graphics The upper back design is popular and often paired with the left chest design on the front. The upper back stretches across the shoulder blade area. Full Back Graphics When you think of full back graphics, concert t-shirts immediately come to mind. The concert t-shirt makes full use of the space on the back of a t-shirt or hoodie, often listing cities from tour dates. Of course, there are full back graphics for all kinds of things. Fun Fact: The first ever concert t-shirt was an Elvis Presley shirt in 1956, while the first ever band tour t-shirt was reportedly created for the Beatles U.S. tour in 1964. Disney Loves Graphics on the Back Have you ever been looking for a garment in a Disney shop, found one you liked the front of…then turned it around and saw a huge graphic on the back that turned you off? If you’re not someone who likes the concert style t-shirts and hoodies with full-back placement of graphics, then it can be challenging when it comes to Disney apparel. Disney absolutely loves the back placement for their graphics. It also matters what that design is composed of: simple graphics can work well, but the overly colorful and bold cartoon-style artwork can be a bit much. We place a lot of thought into the composition of our designs on t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and more. Just because you can cover every inch of a garment, doesn’t always mean that you should. So, on the rare occasion that we do venture into back graphic placements at 1923 Main Street, we tend to stick to solid design principles, with a focus on elegant and timeless style. For hoodies, the back placement of a graphic offers a lot more real estate than the front, since the kangaroo pocket on the front of hoodies limits how much space a graphic can have. Similar to graphics on the front of a t-shirt or sweatshirt, back graphics on a hoodie can be located either on the upper back or cover the full back of the garment. The reason that we do not do any back graphic hoodies here at 1923 Main Street is because the hood itself will block a portion of the design when its down. We don’t find that to be a good design aesthetic, so we don’t produce this type of product (at least we haven’t so far). What is the Most Popular Graphic Placement on a T-Shirt, Sweatshirt or Hoodie? The front graphic is the most common placement that we see today. The front graphic on a t-shirt is how it all began, so it’s really no surprise that it remains very popular to this day. However, back graphics, arm graphics and chest graphics are all great enhancements and very common, as they can help to make specific designs even more unique and more stylish. As a leading designer of subtle Disney-inspired graphic shirts, at 1923 Main Street we determine the style and placement of graphics based on several factors, including the graphic itself, the colors, the subject matter and the garment(s) where it will appear. A lot of thought goes into how and where graphics will appear on a particular piece of clothing. We tend to take a minimalistic approach to design, avoiding “loud” and overly busy graphics that we believe can muddy the message and design itself. At the end of the day, it’s all about personal style and finding something that’s just right for you.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Style PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, we that you enjoyed...

Dress as your favorite character from this 2024 Disney Marvel blockbuster film and you’ll be right on trend for Disney Halloween 2024.3. Haunted MansionThe Haunted Mansion had a great year in 2024. First, there was a significant refurbishment at the Disneyland Haunted Mansion this year (including an updated seasonal ride overlay). Next, there was the return of the Hatbox Ghost to the Walt Disney World Haunted Mansion late last year. Both of these have added new energy to this timeless classic and make it worthy as a Halloween costume inspiration.Great Haunted Mansion Halloween costume ideas for 2024 include the Hatbox Ghost, Madame Leota and the Hitchhiking Ghosts for a group idea. You can even go a step further and dress as a Haunted Mansion cast member if you want to get really creative. Plus, with 999 Happy Haunts as residents, you can go even deeper, with costumes such as Constance Hatchaway (aka the axe wielding Bride in the attic), or your favorite character from inside the mansion.4.

You can do your best Agatha, or any witch inspired costume based on your favorite character from the series.5. The Classic Ape Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was a hit for Disney in 2024 (the first film of a three movie trilogy) and this opens the door for a return to the classic ape costumes that were super popular when the original films were released.

If you’re a fan of the franchise, grab your ape mask and update your outfit for Halloween 2024.6.

An excellent Disney movie (you should watch it if you haven’t seen it), this one opens the door for swimmer-inspired retro outfits. Grab your vintage bathing cap and swimsuit (or anything from the 1920s era) and you’re on your way. If you want to go with something that’s a little different, but still Disney inspired, this is a great one to consider.7.
