Since I've have almost finished my shopping for Traditions and my classes at Disney University, I wanted to share my shopping list with those of you who may be having a rough time. Keep in mind when you are shopping that you are looking for Business wear, which while potentially stylish also means clean cut and conservative.
The list below also strongly reflects my personal style, I don't enjoy bright colors or bringing much attention to myself through clothes, so keep that in mind.
Also keep in mind the requirements by Disney, they have no qualms about kicking people out who don't follow the Disney Look. There's always someone else who wants it just as much as you, and is willing to follow the rules.
I'm bringing around 4 outfits total, that are also interchangeable.
4 Suit Jackets; Black, Grey, Pattern, Light Blue,
4 Dress Pants; Modern Cut, Ankle Cut,
4 Dress Shirts; Neutral Colors,
3 Pairs of Business Shoes; Two Pairs of Black Flats, Small Black Heels,
3 Pairs of Business Earrings; Small /Medium Pearl Studs, Small/Medium Diamond Studs, Silver Small/Medium Knotted Studs,
Blister Band Aids ( Trust me, just get some. )
Business Purse
Content; Tablet ( computer, notebook, etc.), phone, hygiene supplies, wallet,
DETAILS
Jackets: they can be fun, but remember the key word: Business.
Pants: I already wear dress pants a lot, so I like to mix up the cut. Ankle cut and Modern are my favorite, since they are classy and functional. Make sure that they aren't to tight, you'll have to be able to move around.
Shirts: I plan on getting multiples of shirts that I already have, black and white V Necks and a more formal black blouse. Make sure that you don't show much ( if any ) cleavage, because of my body type it's difficult to find appropriate business tops, so when you do find something that works, get multiples!
Shoes: for some of the classes you will go into the parks, you definitely will for Traditions in the first few days. You don't want to wear heels! I repeat: DO NOT WEAR HEELS. You will be walking to the bus stop, to class, in the parks, be smart!
Earrings: I don't wear much jewelry, but earrings are always a safe way to go when accessorizing for business. Again, make sure that they are in cohesion with the Disney Look.
Blister Band Aids: these are amazing! I have used these for multiple reasons many times and they work splendidly. The advantage of these over Mole Skin is that you place the band aid on top of the blister instead of around. This is much more convenient for those of us who wear heels.
Business Purse: this is something that I was actually excited about getting, I recently got a Surface Pro 3 which I can take notes on. So naturally I wanted something to carry it in besides having a case. Get a purse that isn't bulky, not a lot of graphics or buckles/metal embellishments. Don't go cheap, invest in a quality bag. You'll use it a lot, you need it to stay clean looking.
Content: make sure that you can fit something to take notes with, computer, tablet, whatever you use. Make sure it has that interior pocket, it needs to be functional for that one week. I also keep a travel sized deodorant with me, just in case. Make sure you have your wallet! You need to have all of your IDs to get into anything at Disney.
