  • The Graphic Hoodie Style Dilemma for Travel Style Influencers: What You Need to Know

    The Graphic Hoodie Style Dilemma for Travel Style Influencers: What You Need to Know
    Apr 29 2025

    This episode is for all the fashion influencers out there. Recently we covered comfort versus style when it comes to choosing the right hoodie (or hoodies) to pack for your vacation.

    Three Reasons that Graphic Hoodies Can be Dicey to Pack and How to Get Around Them


    Now, we’re going to talk purely about fashion.

    We all know that vacations are prime time for outfit pics, with unique surroundings, fun vistas and once-in-a-lifetime potential to capture that viral fit pic. Plus, depending on where you're going, you might also want to elevate your look beyond cool casual.

    This is where the graphic hoodie you love can get dicey, Why? Because graphics hoodies can have some minuses if you’re not careful with your outfit and photo planning:

    • Visually Loud: Bold graphics on a hoodie can clash with the rest of your travel wardrobe. A hoodie that screams "skate park energy" or “theme park crazy” might not vibe with a quaint Parisian café or a minimalist Tokyo boutique (let alone the pastoral beauty of an awesome landscape as a backdrop)
    • Style Limitations: A graphic hoodie doesn’t easily dress up. You can’t really rock it to a nice dinner, a night out, or a cultural venue with a dress code.
    • Travel Aesthetic: If you're curating a travel aesthetic—think coastal chic, urban minimalist, or boho traveler—a graphic hoodie might throw off the entire vibe.

    All of these are potential outfit breakers. That is, if you don’t plan ahead.

    If you’re packing light and hoping to build a cohesive, Instagram worthy travel wardrobe, a hoodie covered in memes, logos, or band names might stick out like a sore thumb.

    Here’s How to Answer the Travel Hoodie Question: Should You Pack It?

    Yes—if:

    • Your vacation involves a lot of transit time or unpredictable weather.
    • You plan to dress casually and prioritize comfort.
    • The graphic matches your personal style or travel aesthetic.

    Maybe not—if:

    • Your trip leans toward high-end experiences or has a formal element.
    • You’re working with a minimalist packing list and every item must multitask.
    • You’re aiming for a more curated travel aesthetic.

    Pro Tip for Travel Packing and Hoodies: Meet in the Middle

    Still on the fence about packing that travel graphic hoodie?

    Go for a neutral-toned hoodie with a subtle graphic—something that reflects your personality without dominating your outfit. This way, you can stay comfy and stylish, no compromise necessary.

    At the end of the day, the graphic hoodie is neither hero nor villain—it’s all about how well it plays with the rest of your suitcase. Choose wisely, pack smart, and enjoy the journey

    What’s your take—are you team graphic hoodie, or team leave it at home?

  • The Top Five Things That Make the Right Graphic Hoodie the Ultimate Travel Item

    The Top Five Things That Make the Right Graphic Hoodie the Ultimate Travel Item
    Apr 22 2025
    Are you a minimalist packer or do you pack more than one outfit per day? It can be an endless tug-of-war between what you know is right and what you know is, well, you.One item of apparel that’s often caught between two worlds is the humble graphic hoodie.What makes the ultimate travel hoodie?Packing for a vacation can be a struggle between wants and needs. What clothes do you want to bring and what clothes do you need to bring? When you're standing in front of your packing pile, deciding what makes the cut for your next adventure, does a hoodie feel like a must or a miss? If you think a hoodie’s a must, it’s probably because it’s soft and versatile. Your favorite hoodie has been with you through everything from long-haul flights to late-night walks back to your hotel. But not all hoodies are created equal—especially when you're packing light and traveling far. (Do you know the history of the hoodie and how it was invented?). But hoodies are also big and bulky items. It’s particularly challenging if you’re trying to keep your luggage to a minimum. Whether you’re on a two-week European vacation or spending a week at Disney World, no one wants to bring more baggage than they need to.The good news is that style and comfort don’t have to be at odds when it comes to travel hoodies. With the right travel hoodie, you can have both. Let’s talk about what makes the ultimate travel hoodie—and why your go-to might need an upgrade.Why a Hoodie is a Travel Must-Have ItemBefore we get into style, let’s talk practical function. To put is simply, the hoodie is the Swiss Army knife of your travel wardrobe.It’s a built-in blanket on freezing airplanes and chilly train rides.It’s an extra layer when the weather turns or the sun sets faster than expected.It’s low-maintenance. No ironing, no fuss, no worries.It fits every vibe—airport runs, café lounging, sightseeing strolls, theme park visits and even spontaneous hikes.In short, a good hoodie keeps you warm. A great hoodie keeps you looking cool while doing itWhat Makes a Hoodie Travel-WorthyThere are the five things that we look for in a good travel hoodie:1. Fabric That Breathes (and Doesn’t Bulk Up)If you’re wearing a hoodie, you want that unmistakable cozy factor, but without sweating through airport security. Watch for midweight cotton blends that feel soft but don’t trap heat. Bonus if it has a brushed interior (can you say softness?) and holds up to multiple wears without getting baggy.👉 1923 Main Street hoodies offers hoodies made to feel like your favorite sweatshirt from day one—without the break-in period.2. A Fit That Works EverywhereHoodie lovers usually have a preferred hoodie size. Oversized is great for lounging. Tailored is great for layering. But the ideal travel hoodie hits that middle sweet spot: roomy enough to layer something underneath, but structured enough to look intentional. You don’t want to look like you just rolled out of bed (even if, let’s be honest, you did).3. Design That Travels WellThis is where your hoodie earns style points. Loud graphics and novelty prints can be fun, but for travel, go with:Subtle artwork (our specialty at 1923 Main Street)Neutral or destination-inspired tonesTimeless designs that complement everything in your bagThe best hoodies feel personal and unique—but still go with everything.👉 Think: a vintage-inspired logo tee with soft-washed tones that evoke national parks, iconic cities, or magical places (like, say, certain famous theme parks).4. A Pocket with a PurposeA classic kangaroo pocket is non-negotiable. Somewhere to stash your phone, passport, or even a breakfast croissant on the go? Yes, please. Zippered options are a win if you’re more active or security-conscious.5. Durability You Don’t Have to Think AboutWrinkle-resistant. Machine washable. Resilient against spills, weather and whatever else your travel day throws at you. A travel hoodie should be ready to go from the overhead bin to the open road.How to Make Your Hoodie Work with Your Travel OutfitsHere’s how to work your hoodie into your travel rotation, whether you’re city-hopping or theme park-trotting:The Airport Look: Hoodie + joggers + slip-on sneakers = airport-security-friendly and effortlessly coolCity Explorer: Hoodie layered under a denim jacket or lightweight trench, paired with slim-fit jeans or leggings.Disney Park Day: Hoodie + bike shorts or denim shorts + ears (obviously)Rainy Day Plan B: Hoodie + windbreaker + waterproof boots = still stylishThe 1923 Main Street DifferenceWe design every hoodie at 1923 Main Street with the traveler in mind. Whether you're hitting Main Street, U.S.A. or Main Street in your hometown, our graphics are subtle nods to the magic of adventure. 1923 Main Street authentic original designs aren’t one-and-done theme park hoodies—they’re pieces you’ll actually wear again and again, from departure day to your next dream trip.TL;DR – What Makes ...

  • Park Hop Athletics™: The Story Behind the Apparel, by 1923 Main Street®

    Park Hop Athletics™: The Story Behind the Apparel, by 1923 Main Street®
    Apr 15 2025

    This is the story behind the creation of the Park Hop Athletics Collection by 1923 Main Street and how a single event prompted a whole new way of thinking.

    Hop. Play. Repeat. This is how the Park Hop Athletics trademark collection was created.

    When Walt Disney World first opening in 1971, it was a much simpler place. We had one theme park (Magic Kingdom), two hotels (Disney’s Polynesian Resort and Disney’s Contemporary Resort) and Fort Wilderness Campground. That was it.

    For over a decade, we had endless fun at this original Walt Disney World. The monorail was as much a part of the whole experience as anything else. But when Disney acted to complete one of Walt Disney’s final project dreams, a second park finally opened in 1982 (in fact, it was 11 years to the day: October 1, 1982).

    1982 Was the Year When Park Hopping Became a Thing

    When EPCOT opened as Disney World’s second park, something else happened: park hopping suddenly became a reality for Walt Disney World visitors. Now, your amount of fun doubled, because you could hop from one park to another on your vacation on the same day, if you paid for the privilege.

    And with that, park hopping officially became part of the Disney World vacation lexicon.

    Being a part of this formative period in Disney World history is what led Mike Belobradic to create the Park Hop Athletics™ collection at 1923 Main Street®.

    Park Hopping is Fun and Has Benefits, but it isn’t for Every Disney Traveler

    Of course, nowadays, park hopping is much more ingrained into the Disney travel experience – plus you have four theme parks that you can potentially hop between. But one thing hasn’t changed: park hopping isn’t for everyone. Cost aside, it does take a little stamina and will to want to park hop at Walt Disney World.

    Many years ago, Disney resort hotels used to present you with a special paper certificate if you managed to hop between all four Disney World parks in a single day. They no longer do this (perhaps because it isn’t as big of a challenge any more, given more transportation options), but still, four parks in one day is as much a part of the park hop experience as is two parks on the same day.

    Park Hop Athletics™ by 1923 Main Street®: Inspired by the Magic of Park Hopping

    The 1923 Main Street Park Hop Athletics Collection was inspired by that first park hop experience back in 1982. With a variety of designs that celebrate the ability to Hop. Play. Repeat.™ at Walt Disney World, Park Hop Athletics clothing is truly steeped on this longtime rite of passage.

    The Park Hop Athletics Collection by 1923 Main Street is comprised of graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies that feature a wide range of authentic original designs, perfect for anyone who loves to take part in this time-honored Disney World tradition. In fact, if you combine rope dropping with park hopping, you can truly make the most of your Disney day. (Read the back story of our Rope Drop Apparel™ Collection here).

    Within the Park Hop Athletics Collection you’ll find graphics inspired by Disney Park hopping in collegiate style, along with unique skateboard and snowboard themed graphics (inspired by the board parks in both sports) and even more themes, including beer and Park Hop Princesses. How’s that for a wide range?

    If Park Hopping is something you love to do, there’s a 1923 Main Street Park Hop Athletics t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie that’s right for you.

  • What’s the Best Way to Store T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies: Fold or Hang?

    What’s the Best Way to Store T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies: Fold or Hang?
    Apr 8 2025
    When organizing your casual clothes at home, deciding whether to fold or hang can make a significant difference in maximizing space and keeping your clothes in good condition. T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies each have different storage needs due to their fabric type and structure. How You Store Your Tops Can Depend on a Few Things, So Which Way is Best?Here are the best ways to store each of these items, along with some tips and considerations to keep in mind to keep your favorite clothes looking their best.T-Shirts: Fold or Hang Based on MaterialFor most t-shirts, folding is the best option. Hanging t-shirts can cause the fabric to stretch over time – particularly around the neckline and shoulders – which leads to an unflattering shape that’s hard to get back to normal. However, if your t-shirts are made of 100% cotton or a high-quality, structured fabric, hanging can be a good option to prevent wrinkles.Classic Fold: Lay the t-shirt flat, fold in the sleeves, and fold it in half or thirds for easy stacking.KonMari Fold: Fold into a compact rectangle that can stand upright, allowing you to store them vertically in drawers for easy visibility and access.Hanging Option: Want to hang your t-shirts? If so, it’s important to choose the right hangars. Use velvet or padded hangers to prevent stretching. Avoid wire hangers, which can create those dreaded shoulder dimples over time.Storage Tip: If drawer space is limited, use shelf dividers or storage bins to keep stacks organized and prevent them from toppling over.Sweatshirts: Fold to Save Space (But Hanging Can Work Too)Sweatshirts are much bulkier than t-shirts and should generally be folded rather than hung to prevent stretching the shoulders out of shape. The thicker material of sweatshirts makes them ideal for stacking. However, in some cases, hanging can be a practical option as well. Here’s what to consider:Flat Fold: Lay the sweatshirt flat, fold the arms inward, and then fold the body in half or thirds for a neat pile.Hanging Option: If you wear a sweatshirt frequently and prefer easy access, hanging on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger can help to maintain its shape without causing stress on the fabric.Storage Tip: Stack sweatshirts on shelves or in storage bins to avoid overcrowding drawers. If space allows, roll them to prevent creases and make them easier to grab (more on this option below).Hoodies: Fold to Preserve Shape (But Hanging is Possible)Hoodies should generally be folded rather than hung. Their heavy fabric and the added weight of the hood can stretch the shoulder seams and distort the fit if left on a hanger for too long. Some people like to hang hoodies because it makes them easier to see. So under certain conditions, hanging might be a good option (but there are a few things to know):Hood-Tuck Fold: Lay the hoodie flat, fold the sleeves inward, tuck the hood into the body, and fold into a compact square.Drawer-Friendly Fold: If storing in a drawer, roll the hoodie after folding to save space and minimize wrinkles.Hanging Option: If you prefer to hang hoodies, use thick, padded hangers to support the weight and prevent stretching. Lightweight hoodies made of thinner materials or performance fabrics are less likely to deform and may hang well.Storage Tip: If hanging, fasten any zippers or drawstrings to help the hoodie maintain its shape. Avoid thin hangers, which can create dents in the shoulders and can crack under the weight of the hoodie over time.Rolling: A Space-Saving AlternativeEver roll your clothes when packing? Rolling can be an excellent alternative to folding t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies at home, especially if you have limited drawer or shelf space. This method works particularly well for t-shirts and sweatshirts but can also be used for hoodies with proper technique.For T-Shirts: Rolling t-shirts allows for easy visibility in a drawer, prevents deep creases, and makes the most of available space.For Sweatshirts: Rolling can be helpful for thinner sweatshirts, keeping them compact while reducing folds and wrinkles.For Hoodies: If drawer storage is preferred, roll hoodies tightly after tucking in the hood to minimize bulk.Storage Tip: Store rolled items in a bin or drawer organizer to keep them neatly arranged and prevent them from unraveling.Final ThoughtsFor most casual wear, including t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies, folding is the best way to store them to preserve their shape, prevent stretching and optimize storage space. However, high-quality cotton t-shirts may be hung if the right type of hanger is used. Additionally, lightweight hoodies and frequently worn sweatshirts can be hung with proper support to maintain accessibility without causing damage. Rolling is another efficient storage method that saves space, reduces wrinkles, and improves organization. Consider your available space, frequency of use, and preferred organizational style when choosing your storage method. With a little planning...

  • How to Pick the Perfect Sized T-Shirt, Sweatshirt or Hoodie Online

    How to Pick the Perfect Sized T-Shirt, Sweatshirt or Hoodie Online
    Apr 1 2025
    Buying clothes online can be a challenge when it comes to sizing. You can’t try-on the items, so you have to go by general sizes. It gets even more challenging because sizes are not always consistent across brands. You can go by instinct, but that’s not always reliable. So your best bet is to use the size guides offered by the shop.Tips for how ensure you buy the right sized t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodiesHere at 1923 Main Street, we want to be sure that you get the right-sized product that you are expecting. So we try to make it as simple and straightforward as possible to ensure you pick the perfect sized t-shirt, sweatshirt, hoodie and more.How to Use the Size Guides at 1923 Main StreetWe do our size guides a little differently than many other shops and we believe that our approach to size guides will help you to get the size that you want, with much better results. There are two ways that we make it easier for you to ensure that you pick the right size for your 1923 Main Street t-shirt, sweatshirt, hoodie and other items.Here’s what we do to help.1. Clearly Identifying the Base ItemFor t-shirt, sweatshirts and hoodies we use a variety of blank base apparel items from well-known and established manufacturers. These are widely used by many casual wear clothing companies (only a select number of clothing companies actually make their own t-shirt blanks and so on). So to make sizing easier for you, we always tell you what the underlying base item is for each article of clothing. We don’t try to hide it, we make sure to have full transparency for our customers. This way, if you already own a piece of clothing that uses that same blank garment, then you will know which size to choose (or whether you want to size up or size down). So, we are very transparent about the clothing we sell so that you will have a better purchase experience when it comes to size and quality.2. Providing a Size Guide That’s Easy to FollowThe second method we use is our unique and easy-to-use approach to size guides.For every item we sell, you will find a size guide as the final image on the item’s product page. For our size guides, we use the measurements provided by the blank item’s manufacturer. So, if you don’t know (or own anything) printed on the blank base item for the product you want to buy (method 1, above), then the next best thing is to find a t-shirt, hoodie or sweatshirt that you already own – and that you like the sizing of – and use that as a baseline.We use lay-flat sizing in our size guides. Here’s what to do: take a t-shirt that you already own (and that is a size that you like) and lay it flat on the floor. Have a tape measure or ruler on hand. Then, use the size guide for the 1923 Main Street t-shirt that you want to buy and measure your t-shirt along the straight lines noted in our size guide. You can then compare the measurements of your shirt to the options in the size guide. This is a great way to find the size that is as close as possible to what you want. It’s also helpful if you want to size up or size down (for example if you want an oversize fit or a more snug body-hugging fit).Always remember that any shirts from any manufacturer can also have a margin of error from production (they can vary in size by an inch wider or taller, for example). We note this in the size guides as well, so that you have full awareness of the potential variance in size due to production and fabric variances.Casual Clothing That’s Custom Made When You OrderCustom produced apparel such as what we create at 1923 Main Street means that every item we sell is custom made for you when you order. As an environmentally responsible business that does not want to send unsold clothing to landfills in far off countries, we do not keep any items in stock or have a large inventory of unsold sizes. Instead, we follow a production-on-demand model. This means that the item you receive was custom made just for you. When you order it, we make it (this is why it can sometimes take a day or two longer to ship). This is, in our opinion, the most sustainable and environmentally responsible approach to fashion and apparel.It also means that because everything we sell is custom made, we cannot offer returns, exchanges or refunds. We do not keep any items “in stock” and we have no inventory. Custom-made apparel is final sale (as is the case with most other clothing companies that follow this environmentally and ethically responsible model).This is why we have a very clear policy of no returns, refunds or exchanges. We make sure to post this in several places (including at checkout). Full transparency throughout the purchase process is very important to everyone at 1923 Main Street. It’s how we do business and how we like to be treated by others when we shop.As a result, it is very important to us that you take the time to get the right sized item when you order. Hopefully this article will help you to make the...

  • What to Pack and Wear to Disney World in April 2025

    What to Pack and Wear to Disney World in April 2025
    Mar 25 2025

    If you’re heading to Walt Disney World in April 2025, get ready for a month of generally warm weather, with temperatures staying fairly consistent throughout the month. Are there a few surprises in the forecast? Read on to find out.

    How to Dress for April Weather at Disney World


    Here is what you need to know when planning your outfits and packing for your April Disney World vacation.

    Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in April 2025

    The weather forecast for April 2025 at Walt Disney World is looking very good.

    Daytime highs are expected to range anywhere from 79°F to 90°F (26°C to 32°C), with nighttime lows ranging anywhere from 68°F to 75°F (20°C to 24°C).

    The month of April in Orlando is expected to be incredibly consistent overall. Generally, you can expect sunny or mostly sunny days in the mid-80°Fs, with very comfortable evenings and nights in the low 70°Fs. Heading to late night extra magic hours? No need to add layers in April

    April 2025 should bring near perfect weather for your Walt Disney World vacation.

    If this weather pattern holds, rain should not be an issue. At this point there are only a handful of days where rain is expected and overall, April 2025 is forecast to be a drier month than the average April in Orlando. If April showers bring May flowers, it’s a good thing that Disney already brought the flowers.

    As always, check the local weather forecast for the Walt Disney World and Orlando areas in the days leading up to your vacation. This will give you the most accurate forecast for your Disney vacation.

    What to Pack for Walt Disney World in April 2025

    Building on a very nice month of March, packing for your April 2025 Walt Disney World trip is easy. Pack for a warm, summer-like Florida vacation. The best part is there will be very low humidity compared to the summer months. No need to worry about your clothes sticking to you.

    UV, however, will be hovering around 10 almost every day, so bear that in mind.

    You can confidently pack your favorite warm weather clothing, including shorts, t-shirts, dresses and so on. Whatever you normally like to wear for a warm sunny day in the parks is going to be perfect for April.

    Evenings will be quite mild, so you won’t need a hoodie, sweatshirt or light jacket to keep warm (although if you like to wear them, you should be okay to do so after dark without being too hot).

    Packing for Events at Walt Disney World in April 2025

    Another consideration for Disney World packing is what to wear for special events or holidays.

    So what events are happening at Walt Disney World in April 2025?

    The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing in April. This year’s event is quite good, with plenty of blooms, food and drink to go around. So, if you want to pack a floral or nature-inspired outfit for the festival (or just your favorite flowy spring attire), this is the place to do it.

    Plus, the Garden Rocks concert series (the musical part of the Flower and Garden Festival) features popular retro bands every day. Got a favorite concert t-shirt that you love to wear? It will fit right in at EPCOT.

    Other Walt Disney World events to be aware of in April 2025 include the runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend (April 3 to 6), which features a 5K, 10K and 10-mile race, among other things. Beware of extra crowds and potential road closures for this one.

    Plus, the big event of the month is Easter, which takes place on Sunday, April 20. Easter is another fun event to pack a special outfit for, especially if you will be lucky enough to staying onsite on Easter morning. Easter Egg hunt at the Grand Floridian anyone?

  • Spring Style: What People are Wearing at Walt Disney World

    Spring Style: What People are Wearing at Walt Disney World
    Mar 18 2025

    Spring has arrived at Walt Disney World and your Disney vacation is coming up, so what should you plan to pack and wear?

    Fashion Trends in Disney Parks for Spring


    We studied what people are wearing this spring at Walt Disney World, and added our recommendations for the best types of clothing to pack and wear for your next Disney vacation.


    Now that the Orlando weather is turning much warmer, you'll need to pack accordingly to ensure that you are comfortable -- particularly for park visits.


    The most common and comfortable outfit for a day in the parks this spring is the classic t-shirt and shorts combination. Lightweight tees are a good choice, but you will still be fine in a standard heavyweight t-shirt.

    T-Shirts are Still the Most Popular Top for Spring


    For t-shirt colors, one thing to note is that the majority of guests are still wearing darker colored tees, coming out of the winter months. Approximately 20 per cent of Disney Park guests are wearing white tees and tops, while 10 per cent are wearing very dark (or black) tops.


    With the spring weather settling in, the darker choice of t-shirt/top colors is still fine. However, it is getting warmer, so bear in mind that the darker colors will attract more heat from the sun. We are not yet into the true heat of an Orlando summer, but still, black is likely on its latter end of being an optimal color. So if you prefer these darker shades, you should be good to go until closer to the middle or end of May.


    If you get uncomfortable in the heat or want to focus on maintaining a cool body temp over the style of your top, we would recommend switching now to lighter color or white t-shirts and tops. Looser fitting shirts will also help to keep you cool as the parks begin to heat up.

    What Kind of Footwear is Best for Spring Weather?


    Footwear can also be affected by the heat of the parks. As the pavement gets hotter, you'll want to consider how this affects what type of footwear you choose.


    Far and away, sneakers or running shoes with good padding are the most popular footwear at Walt Disney World. This is true for several reasons, from the padding that offers extra cushion to the snug fit that will lessen the potential for blisters. Be sure to wear socks and shoes with a breathable fabric will help to keep you going throughout the day.


    There are a smaller percentage of guests at Walt Disney World wearing flip flops, sandals or tennis shoes/skateboard shoes. These offer less padding than runners and can be a little more punishing when it comes to hot feel from the pavement or tired legs. So be sure to consider what will work best for you and the other guests in your group.


    For bottoms, shorts of all kinds are still the most popular choice. This works year-round at Walt Disney World, so the main consideration is to go with comfort and style. We are not yet into the true heat and humidity of summer, so inner-thigh heat rash isn't yet a big issue (if you tend to suffer from this during the dog days of summer).


    Nights are getting warmer as well, meaning that extra layers may no longer be necessary to pack. As always, check the local weather forecast for your week of travel to get specific temperatures for your vacation.

  • Top Five Walt Disney World Photo Spots for Rope Drop Apparel

    Top Five Walt Disney World Photo Spots for Rope Drop Apparel
    Mar 11 2025

    The only thing better than getting a new outfit, is finding great photo spots to capture the magic of that gear.

    Where to Go to Get the Best Pics to Show Off Your New Rope Drop Apparel

    As a follow-up to our origin story on the Rope Drop Apparel Collection, in this post we’re sharing five great photos spots at Walt Disney World that will be perfect for your next outfit photo shoot.

    Top Five Photos Spots at Walt Disney World for Rope Drop Apparel

    While each of these Rope Drop Apparel photo spots is great to stand alone on its own, you can take your reel or carousel a step further by creating a sequence in the order they appear below. After all, it’s all about storytelling, right? Here’s how to tell a story with your Rope Drop Apparel from 1923 Main Street

    1. Sunrise Photo at Your Resort

    Rope droppers start the day while most guests are still sleeping. So, a sunrise or early morning photo wearing your Rope Drop Apparel t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie is the perfect way to set the stage for what’s to come.

    2. At the Park Gates

    The anticipation of what lies ahead is what it’s all about when you’re standing at the front gate of a Disney Park waiting for the park to open. It’s a feeling that every rope dropper knows and the front gate photo makes an excellent Rope Drop Apparel pic for your outfit. Do some advance scouting to pick the perfect location and angle for your anticipation photo.

    3. On an Empty Park Walkway

    Once they let you in the park for rope drop, the initial crowd disperses pretty quickly. This leaves you will virtually empty Disney Park walkways. Take advantage of the rare solitude you’ll have to frame a stunning shot of you and your Rope Drop Apparel in a virtually empty theme park. You don’t get this opportunity in any other way, so make the most of it by planning ahead for where you want to take your shot and what you plan to do.

    4. At the Rope

    These days, the actual ropes that drop tend to be further inside the park, at the entrances to lands and themed areas. This makes for a fantastic (and literal) photo for your Rope Drop Apparel. Even when there are others with you at the rope, you can usually still frame the shot to have it appear as if you were the only one there. It’s easier if you make a bee-line to the rope (the less people, the better).

    5. Late at Night After Dark

    To cap off your Rope Drop Apparel outfit photo shoot, capture a late night/after dark photo of you in your same Rope Drop outfit. If you spend the entire day in the park – from end-to-end – then this will come naturally. But you can also cheat it and head back to the park later to capture the final image. This might be a good idea if you want to look fresh in your photo. Although the tired I’ve-been-here-all-day look is also quite natural in this scenario. The choice is yours.
