Hear ye, hear ye! planDisney would like to welcome Queen Angie from the land of Minnesota! Thank you for stopping by with this regal question. Your little princesses are sure to have a magical time at
Walt Disney World Resort, so let's check on what they can wear to the ball.
I chatted with a royal Cast Member named Moesha who said that as long as the princess dresses don't drag the ground, the hoops underneath shouldn't be a problem. If the hoops have wires that might set off the security alarms, their highnesses might be asked to undergo a security check. All clothing issues are at the discretion of the Cast Members at the theme park entrances, but as long as the outfits follow the
guidelines for appropriate attire, you should be fine.
It might be a good idea to have a Plan B in mind, just in case. Consider bringing alternate outfits because those hoops might get in the way when the girls ride certain attractions. I'm dating myself, but in the '80s, I wore a hoop skirt to my prom and had a hysterical moment trying to fit into my date's sports car! My tip is to stop by
Locker Rentals to secure a spot for ball gown and tiara storage.
My final recommendation is to look for
Disney PhotoPass photographers to capture those beautiful young ladies in their finery. You can purchase the best images or buy
Memory Maker for digital downloads of all your trip photos. You might consider the Memory Maker One Day option to record those hoop skirts for posterity!
Angie, I hope your visit is full of scepters, crowns...and fun! Please stop by
planDisney anytime. We're here until our sports car turns back into a pumpkin!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
