Started spring of 2011, DAPPER DAY organizes fashionable gatherings at The Disney Resorts in LA, Orlando, and Paris: a spring, all-day event, and a fall evening affair. For the 21+ crowd there's our periodic cocktail party "FOLLY" held at exceptional venues around LA throughout the year.

Inspired by the original Disney park designer's illustrations, which often featured extremely well dressed guests enjoying the park, DAPPER DAY events celebrate the tradition of stepping out in style.
This is your chance to visit the parks while looking your best. All elegant fashions from vintage-inspired to contemporary chic are encouraged. See our "What to Wear Idea Wall" for inspiration. Are you active or retired military? Please consider wearing your dress uniform if you like.
DAPPER DAY is not a private function, but simply a day to visit the parks with other stylish guests. For most gatherings we've arranged for discounted group-rate park tickets and Disneyland® Resort rooms available only through DapperDay.com.
Each event usually has a simple schedule of one or two in-park gatherings like the evening "Dapper Derby" at the Fantasyland carrousel. But our event hours and schedules are merely suggestions and we encourage you and your party to enjoy the park at your leisure.

BUTTONS, PINS & MERCHANDISE
For our spring-inspired collection we tapped artist Jerrod Maruyama whose casually cool "hipster" Mickey and other works you might have seen at the WonderGround Gallery in the Downtown Disney® District. Now he's created an adorably dapper set of characters just for us. DAPPER DAY keychains, magnets, tote bags, and limited edition lapel pins and art prints available now at Shop.DapperDay.com
Disney has also made their own pin to commemorate our 3rd Annual Spring DAPPER DAY which you can purchase online HERE and at the Disneyland® Resort.
