Living in a vintage wonderland



There aren't many things in the world that can top our love for Disney but vintage definitely gives it a run for its money,so whenever we're able to combine these two great loves of ours it makes the experience a million times more enjoyable. It takes us back in time,and allows us to pretend we're walking the same streets as Walt,that if we stay around long enough we might just bump into him. Now while we'd never go back to the 50's to stay,we'd definitely harbor a quick visit to steal all the clothes we could carry and to enjoy the Disney of the past. As the years go by,the park changes more and more,while thats not necessarily a bad thing for us,it does leave us yearning to explore as much as we can before the disney we know becomes the disney we knew. Despite us dressing up being a regular occurrence,it isn't without some adverse consequences. "You're wearing that to Disney? Do you actually go on rides? Aren't you scared to ruin it? Why get so dressed up"? 


This and a whole other mirage of questions are things we get asked on a regular basis whenever we visit the parks,but vintage in particular seems to garner some extra stares and often times some interrogation.(Think along the lines of 20 questions,except we didn't agree to play). We don't let that stop us though,dressing to the nines is an integral part of who we are and we just take the questions with a smile. After all the attention isn't all bad,we get stopped to take pictures a lot and meet incredible people thanks to our style. We like to pull out our vintage/repro for disney outings because theres just no better place to dress like a princess,its also the one place we're prone to fit in a little better. Disney is like a second home to us,and if you can't be yourself at home then where can you be? We get a kick out of dressing up and enjoying all the rides,shows and memories the park has to offer. We are firm believers in the saying"One can never be too over dressed", you can wear whatever makes you happy to the parks and have a wonderful time we promise. Enjoy the magic of disney at christmastime with Katie/me and you'll see for yourselves exactly what we mean!
