Dapper Day started in Disneyland in 2011 and has slowly moved east over the past few years. I have had the chance to attend Dapper Days in California and was blown away at how much everyone got into it. When I moved to Florida last year I had the chance to visit the Magic Kingdom on Dapper Day and didn’t really see a large turn out, but that changed this year!
With the new Festival of Fantasy parade debuting on the same day it seemed like many more were decked out, but still not to the level of California. One thing that does stand out to me was the difference between the “dapperness” from Ca to Fl. Here while some people really embraced the classic style, it seemed more people became creative combining “Disney Bounding” and Dapperness.
Overall the debut of the parade overshadowed this years Dapper Day for me, but keep an eye on Dapperday.com for upcoming events!
