![]() ![]() ![]() A shame for sure, but not the fault of the people sorting things out on the day itself, as they did start out on the program allotted time and simply took things from there.ĭapper Day in Disneyland Paris itself is a fun affair, albeit quite tiring if you’ve spend the entire day in the park (I must admit I conked out in the hotel and utterly slept through all the meet ups from 9pm onwards, several of which were arranged the day itself, but the group made sure to inform everyone on of them that they saw, doing their utmost in making sure no one got left behind). It was great that they were able to organize a sizeable group on the spot, but because of the on the spot organizing of doing rides together and extra group shots some missed out, as these were not listed on the program. ![]() It did of course, not help that the organizer was several hours behind due to time difference in the US and insisted on ok’ing everything, rather than having some more trust in the European team, who, on the day itself proved to be more than capable of sorting things out. How could it be? Dapper Day does not have the same fame, nor pull as it does in the US, and while in the US I imagine quite a few doors open for the organization, the means to pull off the event here were much more limited. Of course, everyone assumed that it wouldn’t be as grand as in the US. That said, there was room for improvement (although not from their part). I had a good time at every part of the program I participated in. They did the best they could, and under the circumstances they did a fine job and I applaud them for all the time and effort they put into making the event fun. Let me start out by saying that whatever negative point I have to say about Dapper Day has absolutely nothing to do with the people that were organizing it from Europe. In the US they are huge, they are the bees-knees, there are even Dapper Day Expo events, and now they started bringing them to Disneyland Paris also. The US initiative where on some days Disney Parks in California and Florida are turned into a veritable congregation of people dressed in retro fashions of the diesel era and contemporary chic and rockabilly styles. Many people into fashion, Disney parks or dieselpunk know Dapper Day. And the rest was history.įor a few days each year, these unofficial Disney events have garnered immense popularity because, well, who doesn’t want an excuse to dress up…and go to Disneyland?! And for the Disney fan, it really is an experience unlike any other where you’re living the origins of Disney history today.Dapper Day at Disneyland Paris, France, September 26 ( Hilde Heyvaert) The way the Imagineers imagined it to be. One day during the Spring of 2011, a few folks decided to “dress to the nines” for a day out at Disneyland (and now even Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris). …but that didn’t stop anybody from doing so. The people visiting Disney Parks today don’t look like people in formal attire… Tomorrowland (in any Disney theme park) looks like the sketches. yet others have argued that formal (aka dapper) clothing was how Imagineers wanted guests to experience their attractions at Disneyland.įast forward many years later and you have a lot of differences from what was originally imagined. Perhaps it was just a cultural thing back in their time. The sketch above and the many other sketches contained many futuristic inventions, but the one thing that didn’t change in each sketch was what the people in those sketches were actually wearing. ![]() The above image is a concept sketch of Walt Disney’s vision of the future – namely Tomorrowland. If you said the people, you’d be absolutely right. If you take a look at any of the Walt Disney Imagineering concept art sketches from Walt Disney’s day, you’ll find one little yet very interesting detail in most of them. ![]()
