How to plan your Disney spirit jersey wardrobe for Walt Disney World
Magic Kingdom
When it comes to pairing your Disney spirit jersey wardrobe around
Magic Kingdom, the choices are endless. For park-specific touches, the simple Magic Kingdom or Main Street USA wouldn’t go amiss. You could also pair your outfit choice with rides for a full thematic connection. Ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train while sporting the blue, white, and yellow colours of Snow White, take to the skies in Peter Pan’s Flight with the boy who never grew up printed on your chest, or explore the labyrinth of Haunted Mansion’s ghostly chambers while sporting the same spooktacular jersey.
Epcot
What better way to fit in at
Epcot than to choose a spirit jersey that represents the countries of the World Showcase pavilions, like a Mickey-shaped Union Jack or Minnie in France? There are also several other designs displaying the symbol of Epcot, the iconic Spaceship Earth. Plus, Epcot is home to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. So, how about joining Rocket, Groot, Gamora, and Star-Lord in a quest across the cosmos decked out in one of the many Marvel spirit jerseys?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
With the special glow in the dark Avatar: Way of Water jersey, you can explore the magical world of Pandora or ride the epic Flight of Passage in true Na’vi style. Or go back to the basics of
Animal Kingdom and be the king of the jungle with a Lion King spirit jersey. But look out, there’s a contender for the best Animal Kingdom spirit jersey. Wild About Disney features shoulder to shoulder puffy lettering and a zebra-striped design.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Opt for Star Wars-themed spirit jerseys to match attractions such as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or embrace the Hollywood glamour with retro-style offerings. And what visit to
Hollywood Studios would be complete without a stop off at Toy Story Land? Ride the thrilling Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers while sporting the new Reach for the Fries Toy Story spirit jersey.
