Get your snazzy clothes ready because Dapper Day is returning to Disney World this fall!
Dapper Dans
Anyone is welcome to join in on Dapper Day! These events celebrate sophisticated clothing and timeless style and many participants opt to rock mid-century inspired ensembles in the parks.

One thing that has majorly changed at Disney World due to the pandemic is the Disney Park Pass Reservation System, which requires guests to make a theme park reservation in order to enter any of the theme parks, even if you have a ticket.
Disney World
This is a new system to people who haven’t visited the parks since the pandemic began, and it seems like it’s going to stick around for a while, as based on what Disney CEO Bob Chapek had to say about them recently. Our readers understandably have a lot of questions about how it works, so, we’re breaking down the answers to your frequently asked questions!
Remember ALL of this is subject to change. Disney can make changes at any time, so these are the best answers we can give you right now; but you should always ask your Disney representative when you call to get confirmation.
