Dapper Day Magic Kingdom

Ray and Joanie

Joanie made the dress, Ray made the matching hat

There are so many fabulous spots in the Magic Kingdom to get great

pictures. We take advantage of the smaller crowds in the morning to get

photos before the streets become too crowded.

Joanie saw this dress pattern online and fell in love with it. And

then she saw the fabric online, but couldn’t find it in any of the

local stores. We finally had to order the fabric and have it

delivered to us, about three weeks before Dapper Day weekend.

We got the pattern locally, but had to pay full list price. She

normally tries to get her patterns during sales at a much

discounted price. We had to order more fabric than we needed,

so we found out that we had enough extra fabric left over that

Ray could make the hat to match the dress.

Ray is well known for carrying a vintage camera with him. This time he carried his vintage Argus camera with him. Yes, it does really work. You can see some photos he has taken with it on this website.

This little sweetheart was attending her very first Dapper Day. Her mother said she was so excited to be there. We added the train case and camera to her accessories, and Addy loaned her the Dapper Day parasol so she would be in style for her photos. She was a little shy at first, but once the photos started, she was completely at ease posing for the pictures.

This girl was wearing a dress that had been in the family for years. The story was that there were several dresses in their family with this same fabric from the 1960’s, but this is the only one that had survived. She looked perfectly vintage and was proud to be in a family heirloom.

This man’s name is Bill Burns. He has made several appearances at Dapper Day in California, and this spring decided to come to Florida with his Walt Disney look, too. He gets a lot of attention during his appearances. Everyone wants a photo with “Walt”.

When you really want to make sure your accessories go with your outfit, you make a fascinator hat to go with your dress, and then decorate your shoes to go with the Dole Whip theme, too.

This is the mother of the girl in the plaid family heirloom dress. The mother’s hat, purse and dress were all vintage from the 1960’s and looked perfect.

These ladies have followed us on social media for several years. It was fun to meet them in person.

We love meeting new people during Dapper Day. This couple says they will be coming back a lot now.
