4 Steps to Plan Disney Matching Shirts for Your Next Disney Vacation

If you have been to a Disney park in the last few years, you probably had a great time, ate some delicious food, and received excellent service from the Disney cast members. You may have also noticed a trend among fellow guests that is gaining more popularity: families like to wear matching Disney shirts or coordinating outfits to the parks.


So, if you're planning a trip to the parks this year, you may have considered participating in this trend and are starting to plan your family's outfits. Read on as we discuss the four steps in selecting the perfect Disney matching shirts for your family.

Step 1: Pick a Theme for Your Family’s Disney Matching Shirts

Wearing Disney matching shirts is a fun way to celebrate family, togetherness, and the Disney stories that families love.


Does your whole family have a particular favorite Disney story, quote, or character? Find tees that feature that front and center! Wearing matching tees is a great idea if you're going with a larger group. This way, you can easily spot your group in the crowd.


Alternatively, you could mix and match by having each family member pick a character from a single Disney story. For example, everyone selects a tee with a character from Disney's The Little Mermaid. Or, perhaps the most iconic, Disney's Mickey and Minnie Mouse and their friends. This gives a coordinated look and thought-out vibe without being too "matchy-matchy."


Another way to match Disney shirts is by picking a broader theme for the family. In this example, characters don't necessarily have to be from the same movie but should be related. If your little peanuts love the Disney Princess characters, you could all pick a princess or a character from one of the Disney Princess movies. Or, family members could each pick a Marvel superhero character.


As we mentioned, there are so many ways to wear matching Disney shirts to celebrate being at Disney with your family. Whether your family chooses shirts that match exactly or shirts that coordinate with each other, there's no wrong way to wear matching outfits as long as they feel authentic to your family!

Step 2: Consider The Weather

Characters and themes aside, there is something else to consider when picking out a comfortable outfit for the day at the parks: the weather. What time of year are you going? What does the weather typically look like in that season? Watching the weather forecast leading up to your trip is a good idea for understanding typical weather patterns.


Southern California and Central Florida are known for their warm and sunny climates. Chances are the weather will be warm, and in the summer months - it can be plain hot. For this reason, it's important to consider the materials of your family's shirts.

Step 3: Pick the Right Material

You'll most likely spend much of your day on your feet, whether walking from attraction to attraction or standing in line. So, you'll want to select shirts that are lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking. Thankfully, viscose from bamboo fits that description. Viscose from bamboo is a soft and durable fabric that is 4x stretchier than cotton and even feels cool to the touch.


Like cotton, it's excellent at wicking away moisture and can regulate body heat naturally. But unlike cotton, it's super soft, ultra-stretchy, and doesn't fade or shrink in the wash. It's designed to stretch and move in ways that cotton can't, so it will keep up with your family as they skip, twirl, and jump around the parks.

History of Disney | Posh Peanut Collections

Disney | Posh Peanut is thrilled to bring families viscose from bamboo styles that feature Disney's loveable characters. Since the spring of 2023, with the launch of Disney | Posh Peanut: The Little Mermaid collection, we have brought so many other enchanting Disney collections to our community! There have been festive holiday collections featuring Disney's Mickey Mouse and friends that even included a glow-in-the-dark design for Halloween.


Perhaps one of our most popular collections has been the Disney | Posh Peanut Disney Princess collection, with darling Disney princess dresses inspired by the princess characters' signature looks. Our Posh Mama community loved this one so much that we released it twice!

But we don't just have clothing; some of our Disney | Posh Peanut collections have adorable travel accessories!

Step 4: Be Prepared with the Essentials and Extras

While you are busy planning your Disney matching shirts, you may also want to be prepared with a few essentials to take with you. Sun protection and a rain poncho are key items you may want to throw in your backpack. Also, pack additional Disney-inspired layers in case the weather changes or the temperature drops. Especially if you're traveling with a little one, pack your backpack with extra Disney baby clothes in case of messes.


Ensure the family stays hydrated and nourished during your day in the sun. Our backpacks have side pockets for water bottles that make it convenient to stay hydrated while walking all day. If you have little ones, pack their milk, baby food, and snacks in our generously sized Disney | Posh Peanut insulated lunch boxes to keep them cool.
