    What are Subtle Disney Clothes and Where Can You Find Them?

    What are Subtle Disney Clothes and Where Can You Find Them?

    If you take a lot of Disney vacations (or even if you don't, but you love Disney characters), chances are you have a closet full of Disney clothes that you’ve picked up while Disney shopping.
    Official Disney-themed apparel is great, but there are times when you might want the feeling of wearing a little Disney-inspired magic, without Disney characters all over it.
    Welcome to the world of subtle Disney clothes.
    Subtle Disney Clothes
    Subtle Disney t-shirts and other clothing is all about getting that upbeat Disney feeling, without sporting official Disney apparel. Subtle Disney celebrates the magic without Disney characters or other intellectual property. Because sometimes you want the magic of Disney without obviously wearing Mickey wear, or character-themed clothing.
    Clothes Inspired by the Magic of Disney and Beyond
    Subtle Disney clothing is not Disney clothing, nor is it meant to be.
    No Disney characters, no Disney intellectual property, nothing that is owned by Disney.
    Subtle Disney clothes get inspiration from the feelings or concepts that come from a spark of magic. When you buy something inspired by the magic, it gives you a fun and uplifting feeling. Because you’re getting a piece of clothing without anyone (except possibly your true Disney fan friends) potentially even knowing that what you’re wearing was inspired by the magic at all.
    The Benefits of Subtle Disney Clothes
    The subtle Disney shirts, hoodies, skirts, dresses, yoga leggings, swimwear and more that we create at 1923 Main Street offer several fun and unique benefits for those who also love official Disney attire, but are looking for something subtle and non-Disney. 
     
    Subtle Disney Clothing:

    The Ultimate Guide to T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies by Gildan, Bella + Canvas and Comfort Colors

    The Ultimate Guide to T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies by Gildan, Bella + Canvas and Comfort Colors

    Shopping for clothes online? Chances are you will encounter many of the same base t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies across various clothing companies and sellers. Gildan. Comfort Colors. Bella + Canvas.
     
    So how do you choose one over the other?
    Discover the Differences: A Detailed Comparison of How to Choose Between these Popular T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, and Hoodies
     
    When it comes to choosing the perfect blank apparel for print on demand (POD) clothing, there are several factors to consider. From print quality to the fabric composition, to wearability and more, each shirt has different features that cater to different preferences and needs. 
     
    The Differences Between Popular Print-on-Demand Shirts 
     
    Women's T-Shirts
     
    Two of the most popular women's t-shirts that we use are the Bella + Canva 6400 and the Gildan 880. Both are excellent quality shirts, but they are not exactly the same.
     
    Bella + Canvas 6400: Known for its lightweight soft feel and flattering fit, the Bella + Canvas 6400 is crafted from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. It has a very lightweight fabric that makes it ideal for warmer weather (like hot Florida days) or for layering under coats or jackets. Plus, the Bella + Canvas 6400 uses a premium quality fabric, which helps with vibrant print results for graphic tees (and for comfort).
     
    Gildan 880: The Gildan 880 offers a more relaxed fit and is a quality shirt made from 100% cotton. It's slightly heavier than the Bella + Canvas 6400. This means that it is generally a more durable product for heavy wear and offers a more structured silhouette due to the extra weight. The Gildan 880 is a great and practical choice for everyday wear.
     
    Bottom Line, Women's T-Shirts: Consider the fit and fabric preference. If you prioritize softness and a fitted look, opt for Bella + Canvas 6400. For those seeking a slightly more budget-friendly option with a relaxed fit, Gildan 880 is one to consider.
     
    Unisex T-Shirts
     
    We use a lot of unisex t-shirts at 1923 Main Street and there are a few main products that we view as excellent options. Here are the differences between them.
     
    Bella + Canvas 3001: This is a very popular shirt that is well known for its fit and soft feel. Similar to the 6400 model above, the Bella + Canvas 3001 is made from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. It comes in a variety of color options, giving it good versatility and style. Once again, the benefit of the Bella + Canvas 3001 lies in its lightweight fabric, perfect for all-day comfort and vibrant print results.
     
    Gildan 64000: Made from 100% preshrunk cotton, the Gildan 64000 is the epitome of durability and a classic fit. It's slightly heavier than the Bella + Canvas 3001, providing a structured look and wear. The benefit of the Gildan 64000 is its classic t-shirt weight, coupled with affordability and wide range of available colors.
     
    Comfort Colors 1717: Made from 100% ringspun cotton, the Comfort Colors 1717 is another very popular t-shirt. It offers a relaxed fit and garment-dyed softness. The Comfort Colors 1717 is known for its lived-in feel and vintage look. This t-shirt is a great combination of ultimate comfort and a unique aesthetic. The benefit of the Comfort Colors 1717 lies in its distinct style and cozy wear, making it a favorite among those seeking a laid-back vibe for their prints. However, it comes at a price of costing slightly more than the other options here.
     
    Bottom Line, Unisex T-Shirts: All of these are great shirts and you can't go wrong with any of them. When faced with a choice, consider your style preference, the fit and your intended use. If you a relaxed fit and vintage appeal are more important, the Comfort Colors 1717 is worth considering. For a classic fit and budget-friendly option, Gildan 64000 is a reliable choice, while Bella + Canvas 3001 offers a trendy "retail" fit and softer feel.
     
    Unisex Hoodies
     
    There are two main hoodies that are used quite often. We love them both (an

    What to Pack and What to Wear to Walt Disney World in May

    What to Pack and What to Wear to Walt Disney World in May

    With summer on the horizon, there are a few things to consider when packing for Walt Disney World in May. Special events and good weather set the tone for a month filled with Disney fashion and style opportunities.
    Heading into the Magic: Packing Tips and Style Ideas for a May Disney World Adventure
     
    As the sun climbs higher and the days stretch longer, the weather for May 2024 looks to be on the warm side, which is not unusual. Get ready for daytime highs around 88°F or 31°C and roughly nine hours of daylight. Nighttime lows are quite comfortable, with temperatures expected to be around 72°F or 22°C. While it may well rain during your vacation, at this time no significant rain events are on the radar. So as always, check the seven-day forecast with a local weather station the day before you leave for Walt Disney World to get the most up-to-date weather information.
     
    From a packing perspective, we're definitely starting to get into the warm weather clothes in May. You can put away the need for any jackets or long pants if you've been wondering about that.
     
    If you like to pack or plan outfits for special occasions, then you're in luck because May is chock full of special events and holidays around which you can get a little creative with your Disney vacation fashion and style.
     
    Some key dates to be aware of for Walt Disney World style in May include:
     
    May the Fourth (May 4): Whether you're a Jedi Knight or a loyal Rebel, Star Wars Day is your chance to let your fandom shine. While full-blown costumes are possible and liked by many, Disney bounding offers a stylish alternative to channel your inner galaxy hero.
     
    Cinco De Mayo (May 5): ¡Viva la fiesta! Draw inspiration from the vibrant world of Disney's Coco and The Three Caballeros as you celebrate this festive day with flair.
     
    Mother's Day (May 12): Show some extra love to the leading ladies in your life with coordinating family outfits or matching accessories that symbolize your appreciation and love for mom.
     
    Memorial Day (May 27): Honor the brave with patriotic colors and Disney-themed tributes as you pay homage to the heroes who've paved the way.
     
    And let's not forget a favorite pièce de résistance: National Wine Day (May 25). Raise a glass and toast to the finer things in life with a touch of Disney elegance. From Mickey-shaped wine charms to Minnie-inspired vineyard chic, there's no shortage of ways to sip in style. EPCOT is the place to be for this one as you sip your way around the world.
     
    So, whether you're traversing galaxies on May the Fourth or raising your glass on National Wine Day, let your Disney style be as magical as the memories you'll create. Cheers to a month filled with laughter, adventure and unforgettable moments at the most magical place on earth.

    Packing List: What to Pack for a Walt Disney World Vacation

    Packing List: What to Pack for a Walt Disney World Vacation

    Packing for your Walt Disney World vacation doesn't have to be stressful or overthought. In fact, it can be fun to pick your Disney outfits and clothes to match your vacation plans and what time of year you're traveling to Disney World.
    The Ultimate Packing List for Walt Disney World
    If you're flying to Walt Disney World, one of the first things to consider is whether you plan to check a large suitcase or simply go with carry-on. Obviously a larger suitcase will give you more space and you can bring more stuff. But is that a wise move even if you have the space?
     
    If you're traveling with kids, then that means you'll have a few more things to pack. If they're old enough to have their own kid-size suitcase, then that can help. Otherwise, you may be to bring a checked bag or two.
     
    Another important factor is whether you plan to stay onsite in a Disney Vacation Club Villa. Having access to a washer/dryer makes it a lot easier to pack light. You can do a quick mid-week wash and you're good to go.
     
    Walt Disney World Packing List: 
    Carry-on Suitcase, Packing Light, One Week Stay
    7 pairs socks and underwear7 shirts (mix and match as you see fit, t-shirts, button-up short sleeve shirts etc.)4 pairs shorts (or skirts or leggings) or 2-3 longer bottoms if a cool winter vacation1 pair pajamas1 swimsuit1 pair flip flopsToiletries (shavers, pain relievers, hair care, etc.)Backpack/Extra Bag
    Wallet, Cash, CardsMagic BandsElectronics, Charger blocks, USB charging hub, Camera, Laptop/TabletSunglassesOther small miscellaneous itemsOther considerations
    Poncho, tiny palm-size travel umbrellaWe recommend NOT to pack extraneous items like water bottles, portable fans and so on unless certain conditions are met (as covered in the audio episode). These types of items are usually a waste of space as there are plenty of opportunities all around Walt Disney World to keep cool, get fresh cold ice water for free and so on. Avoid any trinkets that take up space and add weight. Many packing lists include far too much of this type of thing and for most travelers, they are simply not necessary. 
     
    How to Pack a Suitcase to Optimize Space
     
    Fold, Roll or Compression Cubes? What's the Best Packing Method?
     
    If you're trying to make the absolute most of the space you have in a suitcase, is rolling your clothes the best way to go? 
     
    Flat folding tends to consume more space, although is does have an advantage for collared shirts. In some cases, a combination of roll and fold will work best. Listen to the full discussion and insights in the podcast episode.
