If you look at the picture, you’ll see two guys (next to each other) in a suit and tie. Who goes to Disney WORLD dressed like that?

Who goes to Disney WORLD dressed like that? loads of people do. it's called dapper day and it happens twice a year. it started here in southern calif. at disneyland with 20 people and now has over 25,000+ attendees. back when i was a kid in the sixties, everyone dressed up to go to disneyland. nowadays dudes wear flip-flops and beer stained underwear.

Yeah, I actually went to Disneyland in LA once when I turned right around and left after about 45 minutes. Way too crowded that day. I haven't even been to Disney World in awhile--I used to go all the time when I lived in South Florida, but it's been maybe seven or eight years since I've been now. At least when I was last going, it wasn't always that crowded.
If it looked like it does it that picture, I'd not be there for more than a couple minutes.

I learned something new today. The guys in the suits stand out (to me anyway), since everyone around them is wearing T-shirts, etc. (I cannot attest to the beer-stained underwear, however).

The picture is from like the early 80's. Look at the fashion and the rounded edges of the photograph. Dapper days started in like the early 2000's.

I went to Six Flags America in the late 90's...
There was a wait in line TO GET OFF THE ROLLCOASTER!!
It had an exit ramp directly to the main thoroughfare... which was so clogged with people, you had to wait to enter...
It was miserable.

I guess it was in the same vein that people used to dress up when they had to fly on a plane.... I suppose it was.... the vane vein. - "BOO!"

I suppose it was.... the vane vein. - "BOO!" actually dapper day was started by a former employee of disney. who while glancing through the archival photos couldn't help but notice that everyone back in the early days dressed up. so he got together with some friends and decided that this would be a wonderful sign of respect shown towards walt and all the tens of thousand of cast members who keep his dream alive. and dapper is how you define it. it can be any style from any era but it HAS TO be to the NINES! Whether its top hat and tails or a gown that looks like she could sail!

Cats are typically not taller than the sign depicting Mickey Mouse, (I know..it’s a weird Universe that we live in), so you wouldn’t be able to get on the rides.

My stupid cousin/goddaughter, went to DisneyWorld on her honeymoon. She passed up the opportunity to honeymoon in Switzerland. Yes, her father paid for everything.
She turned down a trip to Europe for that? Sheesh! Yes, that is Sal's daughter.

I haven't been to Disney land in years (possibly decades), there's better options nearby (Six Flags and Knotts Berry Farm)

I went do Disney World in 1980, it looked like that then.
Nothing has changed.
