We've seen this in other parks, too, but it seems to have become somewhat of a tradition among certain Walt Disney World fans. A whole family will come to the parks in T-shirts of the same color, with some original design honoring their visit. More often that not, it seems that the shirts will use some variant of the "Disney" signature font face, as well.
For some families, getting the shirts made and wearing them in the parks provides a wonderful bonding experience. But others might consider just the thought of doing such a thing mortally embarrassing.
I remember seeing custom shirts in the parks more than 20 years ago, though back then, they seem to have been limited to extended family reunions, when people needed the shirts to identify distant relatives they might not otherwise have recognized simply on sight. On recent visits, though, it seems that you can find smaller groups who are all clad in the same shirt in almost every major queue in the park.
What do you think? Have you done this before? If so, would you do it again? If you're not into this idea, why not?
What's the most memorable custom family shirt that you've seen in the parks? Tell us your thoughts, in the comments.
Of course, if you want to do this, more power to you. (You go, E Canal family!) But I must admit to feeling a lot more comfortable whenever I see people dressing for blessed anonymity.
I blame my British ancestry for this feeling, by the way.
Disney does have a T Shirt place in Downtown Disney that does this.
And so we got lanyards for our respective houses, and wore them the whole trip.
This isn't the same as a single unifying item of clothing, since we were each different, but it was a great family-bonding idea and it kept up through the whole trip. So I can see why people would want to do this, even as I prefer doing it my way and having something very specific for each person.
