What should I wear to Epcot for a day?

Lightweight Clothing When visiting Epcot, it is crucial to dress lightweight. You may want to wear light-colored clothing. They are soft, light, and a good reflector of heat thereby keeping you cool. You don't want to wear winter outfits in this serenity.

Wear layers to the parks everyday. Bring a sweatshirt that is easy to stuff in a backpack or tie around your waist. Or a flannel works just as well! You will probably be seen by at least 25,000 people and you will be taking photos all day long. Don't confuse being comfortable with looking sloppy.

In general, you should think of Epcot as a two-day park. There's so much to see and do that you really need a couple of days to enjoy everything without feeling like you're rushing through the park. But we recognize that most people can't or won't give two of their precious days at Disney to Epcot.

So when should you visit for the lowest crowds, generally? Go on a Wednesday! Fewer guests head to EPCOT mid-week and you can hopefully then walk up to the festival booths without having to wait in long lines. As a bonus tip — make sure to visit the festival booths early in the day.

This nice thing about Epcot is that the World Showcase really offers you the opportunity to make whatever you'd like out of your day. Eating, drinking, shopping, entertainment—add in the unique festival offerings throughout most days of the year, and it's not hard to fill a full day at the park.

Suffice to say, EPCOT attendance increases throughout the day because more people arrive than leave, and wait times remain fairly steady for a lot of attractions. From a strategic perspective, the best time to do EPCOT is before noon, not in the afternoon or at night.

EPCOT is arguably the least family-friendly park at Walt Disney World, so you may not need more than a few hours to do everything of interest if you have small children. With that said, a full day at EPCOT is highly recommended for first-timers.

Floor-length Skirts or Dresses Make sure your skirt doesn't come close to the ground! They also aren't ideal for going on rides, since different ride vehicles have configurations that aren't comfortable if you have a skirt or dress on. We DEFINITELY wouldn't wear a wedding dress to the parks!

Sneakers or water like sneakers would be the most appropriate. DO NOT wear heels or sandals. I saw a lot of sandals break and feet slipping around in them. Being on your feet all day you really need to be smart for your feet.

Dresses can make getting into and out of low-sitting attractions a little more difficult, but they are so much cooler, especially when you have long hair. These dresses are typically sundresses that are better suited to wearing to the parks, rather than thicker or fancier ones.

Depending on what season you go to Disney World, you'll want either shorts or comfortable stretchy jeans/pants. Black leggings are a great go-to for comfort and durability. During the summer months, always opt for shorter bottoms. A note: You do not have to wear only pants/shorts to Disney world!

Speaking of clothes that are so torn up that you're showing more skin than your mom would have let you get away with in high school, Disney also does not allow guests to wear very revealing articles of clothing that could be viewed as “inappropriate for a family setting.” Make sure your shirt isn't overly cropped!
