Do you buy new ??

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

Not usually...we go for comfort not style and shoes especially are best broken in a bit. I did however go buy some new jeans for our upcoming trip just because I only have two decent pair and needed some more to get me through the trip.

It never even occurred to me to buy new clothes just for a vacation. I feel like I spend enough time planning that I wouldn't want to add shopping trips to the planning too.

No, I sort of think of WDW as sitting on the ground or curb, and there are the dirty seats from grubby ice-creamed coated patrons.
They may try to keep the place clean, but it is not possible on a moment by moment basis.
It sure would be less fun for the kids to be dressed up and required to be clean while playing.

I have to agree... I do buy new things such as confy clothes for the kids, but I dont go all designer on it. I just like the t-shirts to be nice and not worn out, the shorts comfortable and the light jackets not fadded.. what ever happens once we are there is totally cool if they get stained or messed up..

We (almost) always go to our local Disney store the night before our departure to buy anything my wife and DD8 "thinks" they need for the trip. I generally don't however.

For me, I try to wear something from not only Disney, but also more specifically from Disney Parks, each day of the trip. in fact, it's even worse than that. I have certain favorite shirts I wear on specific days. For example, I always wear my red Four Parks One World t-shirt (the one with the property entrance on the front and the signatures on the back) on our first day at Magic Kingdom. Additionally, I always wear my green t-shirt that has the four park logos on the front on our first visit to Animal Kingdom.

I usually add two t-shirts and two dress shirts on every trip. Then next year I will work newer stuff in and older stuff out. The two aforementioned shirts are MUST-WEARS until they completely disintegrate.

New shoes 6 months out to break in.

New socks just before the trip.

Other than that, unless we are in need of something we don"t buy anything new to go on trips. Besides my wife has a 10x10 foot room as a walk in closet. And doesn't wear 1/3 of what she has.

We always buy new Disney-themed t-shirts! Usually we go to Florida sometime early in the year, so it's a common occurrence for Santa to bring us new Disney jammies, t-shirts, and sometimes even gift cards for the upcoming trip!

Going shopping before a trip to Disney is always on our list of things to do!!! That's part of the fun of planning in my opinion!!!

[DVC2004]

A few things, usually a few new tops. I like to look different in my pictures from trip to trip to help tell them apart.

[PETE FROM NYC]

The only new stuff we buy is what we need in general, not just for WDW.
A trip to the World costs enough as it is without having to purchase a new wardrobe.
Besides, DW is always looking to buy more Tees and such every trip anyways.

I am always thinking of photo ops and I'm a scrapbooker and I'm a dork.

So, I have my kids "match" the park/event that we are going to for the photo ops. And just cuz I like them to match... they're 6 and 4 yrs old and my dressing them to match days are numbered.

Now, it's not always new outfits or shirts but, when I buy clothes for summer, I usually buy a few outfits that they can wear with Disney-in-the-fall in mind.

[AllDisney]

We buy a few new things

Yes, me too...

Usually we buy DH a new pair of shorts or 2, but he's a t-shirt collector, so we save all the buying for when we're there. He probably comes home with 3-5 new t-shirts every trip.

[Kathy Jetson]

Yes I want to be wearing different clothes in the pictures each year!

[Brer Rabbitt]

I do! I do that for pretty much every vacation, though. I make sure with my Disney clothing that I always have something Disney related to wear! For our upcoming trip in June, I already have a shirt for DS first trip!

[kemps@wdw]

Depends on if the old ones don't fit, or the old shoes are worn out. We have accumulated so much Disney apparel, over the years, that we really don't need new stuff. But, you know, we always seem to come home with new things (love the gift w/purchase).

[kakn7294]

As a side note, I do have a pair of Jordans (Retro VI's in red black and white) that I have only worn at WDW. I couldn't afford them when I was a kid so I have them now on display in my room, only worn twice, both at Epcot. What can I say, I'm a bit of a nerd...

As a side note to your side note, I have a friend who has nearly every pair of Jordans ever made - never worn. She has a HUGE collection! She plans to sell them someday.

[luvdiznee]

I don't buy new just for Disney. But usually if I have something new, I will take it there. My new stuff is really when we get to Disney, such as a; resort shirt, special event shirt (F&W Festival, MNSSHP, etc) or one with the current year on it that we are there. I just usually like something to mark the ocassion.

[Dopey's Girl]

Me too! But yes, we all get a few new pieces, DS's more than DH & I because they're still outgrowing their clothes! And I do like "put together" outfits, and I don't want every years WDW pics to have all of us wearing the same exact clothes!

Yeah for new vacation socks!!

[ANG]

Nope.

But I do like to buy the kids a new shirt with their favorite Disney character on it

[gokatgo]

Fun post! We do buy some new clothes. We have coordinating outfits - not matching but coordinating each day. That way, it's easy to find the kids and the Photo Pass pictures look great. We leave tomorrow for two weeks and we have 14 coordinating outfits for 5 people. I did shopping to fill in what we needed like a grey tshirt for Dad or a navy polo for my son.

Plus we needed Christmas outfits for MVMCP on 11/29.

Fortunately, my family happily goes along with my craziness!
