We suggest you dress comfortably, wear good walking shoes and check the local weather report before you leave for the parks at Walt Disney World Resort. Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times. The parks are a casual, family-oriented environment.

Dressing for Epcot requires a balance of comfort, weather preparedness, and a dash of style, especially since you will likely be walking between 5 and 10 miles. The most critical item is a pair of well-broken-in athletic shoes; Epcot is geographically the second-largest park at Disney World, and the World Showcase lagoon is a 1.2-mile loop alone. Since Orlando is prone to sudden rain and high humidity, moisture-wicking fabrics and breathable layers are best. Many guests opt for "Disney Bounding" (outfits inspired by characters) or themed shirts, but practicality should rule. During the Food & Wine Festival, you might see slightly dressier casual wear, but "theme park casual"—shorts, t-shirts, and a light poncho in your bag—is the standard. Don't forget a hat and sunglasses, as the expansive concrete areas of World Discovery offer very little shade from the Florida sun.
