  • Main Street Swagger: Behind the Apparel by 1923 Main Street
    Feb 4 2025

    If you know, you know. It’s a feeling that every Disney traveler experiences.

    Whether it’s your very first Disney vacation or your 20th Disney vacation, there’s one common and magical moment that every visitor experiences: that first walk up Main Street U.S.A.


    Subtle Disney inspired graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies designed to capture that Main Street feeling

    It’s a feeling that says “we’re here.” A feeling when the magic is palpable and the anticipation of everything that’s about to come is all around you. Few things encapsulate the magic of a Disney moment than a walk up or down Main Street. It affects how you walk, what you wear and what you do.

    For those who embrace it, we call that feeling Main Street SwaggerTM and we designed a whole collection to celebrate that feeling.

    What is Main Street Swagger?

    Main Street Swagger comes in many forms.

    Do you get dressed up, or put on a specially-selected outfit for your first walk on Main Street? Maybe it’s a special shirt or a special Mickey headband or Mickey ears. Even kids in strollers can rock Main Street Swagger in their own way. We’ve seen it all over the years.

    Main Street Swagger can be dapper, Disney themed or a vacation vibe. Main Street Swagger can involve:

    • Stopping for that must-have Main Street photo of you with the castle in the backgroud.
    • Rocking a coffee as you swagger up Main Street in style...soaking it all in.
    • Stopping by the Emporium or Crystal Arts to see what you can add to your outfit to enhance your swagger with something new.

    There’s Main Street Swagger in all of that.

    But Main Street Swagger isn’t just about what you wear, it’s how you wear it. That swagger is the feeling of magic in your step. That “I’m home” state-of-mind.

    The Inspiration for Main Street Swagger at 1923 Main Street

    The inspiration for the Main Street Swagger phrase and collection came from a single photo.

    There’s a photo of Mike Belobradic (1923 Main Street founder) from 1984. Mike has always had Main Street Swagger and this particular photo captured it all. It led the creation of the “Main Street Swagger” phrase and clothing that was born out of that.

    The photo features Mike walking with swagger up Main Street U.S.A. in March 1984,wearing a tiger-striped black and white shirt, complete with tropical flowers within the design. Everyone around him in the photo is wearing a plain solid-colored shirt. Mike definitely stands out with swagger. It was a bold move and the genesis for how the Main Street Swagger collection came to be.

    Main Street Swagger means not caring about the world around you as you make your way up Main Street U.S.A. and into the magic. You’re home and the magic is within you.

    That’s what Main Street Swagger is all about.

    What’s Your Main Street Swagger?

    Every Disney traveler does Main Street Swagger in their own way. What’s your Main Street Swagger?

  • What to Pack and Wear to Walt Disney World in February 2025
    Jan 28 2025

    If you plan to visit Walt Disney World in February, be prepared for a month of mixed-temperature weather for your vacation. While the end of winter may be getting closer, it’s not here yet (even in Florida), but there is still some good news for your February Disney vacation.

    Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in February 2025

    The forecast for February at Walt Disney World is for daytime highs that will range from 66°F (19°C) to 82°F (28°C), with nighttime lows between 46°F (8°C) and 63°F (17°C).

    Given that this is getting closer to spring – but winter is still hanging on – these ranges are not unusual. On average, February 2025 is expected to be a little cooler than normal, but at this point forecasters are not anticipating another polar vortex to put a chill on your vacation.

    February will start pretty warm during the day and taper off a degree or two by the end of the month, but overall, it is looking to be a pretty stable month for temperatures. Rain, on the other hand, is a different story. Some rain is in the forecast, but it shouldn’t be a huge problem, unless you are traveling the week of February 16. This week looks to be a little unsettled, but hopefully things may change (which is pretty common in Orlando).

    The last week of the month is forecast to be the sunniest week.

    What to Pack for Walt Disney World in February 2025

    February 2025 is shaping up to be very much a day and night packing month.

    This means you’ll want warmer weather outfits for the daytime and cooler weather outfits for the evenings and nights. Shorts, t-shirts, dresses etc. should work well for most of the month during the warmer daytime hours.

    For evenings you’ll want to bring a light jacket, hoodie, pants, leggings and so on, whatever you like to wear to keep the chill away.

    It’s those transitional times in the morning where you’ll have to decide what to wear if you head to parks first thing in the morning. It might be chilly then, but it will warm up later. So, will you brave the morning cool in shorts? Or will you bring a layer that you’ll have to shed and carry around for the rest of the day?

    What’s Happening at Walt Disney World in February 2025

    The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts continues until February 24. So, if you want to plan a special wardrobe for this event, that can be fun.

    Another important event to note is that the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is scheduled for February 20 to 24. This is a fun event for participants, but it can cause havoc with your travel schedule and getting around. Bear that in mind if you’re visiting at that time.

    And, of course, it’s Valentine’s Day on February 14, so if you’re there at that time then appropriate Minnie attire is usually a big hit!

  • What Your Hoodie Says About Your Style—and How to Upgrade Your Look
    Jan 21 2025
    When it comes to versatile, stylish and practical clothing, few things can compete with the ever-popular hoodie. And if you’re a traveler — especially someone who frequents magical destinations like Disney parks or other unforgettable places — graphic hoodies are more than just a cozy staple, they’re an essential part of your travel wardrobe. Wardrobe Game-Changer: Nine Reasons Why Graphic Hoodies are the Ultimate Style HackWhy a Collection of Graphic Hoodies in Your Wardrobe is Better than OneThe nine things you haven’t considered when it comes to the humble hoodieWhile owning one graphic hoodie might seem like it’s enough, let’s look at why having a small collection of graphic hoodies is not just a fashion statement, but also a very functional and fun way to enhance your vacation style and comfort.1. Style That Matches the Mood and DestinationDisney travelers in particular know that your outfit should reflect the magic of your day, whether it’s strolling down Main Street, hopping on your favorite ride, or capturing Instagram-worthy moments in front of Cinderella Castle. Each hoodie in your collection should tell a different story.Having a hoodie collection means you can:Rotate hoodies to match the mood or theme of your day (perfect for Disney parks or other destinations where each area has its own vibe).Pair a hoodie with different outfits for fresh looks, whether it’s a travel morning at the airport or an evening watching fireworks by the castle.Stay comfortable in varying weather conditions—hoodies layer well with jackets in colder climates or provide just the right amount of warmth during a breezy evening.Having multiple options ensures you’re always dressed for the occasion while staying comfortable.2. Functionality for Every Kind of WeatherGraphic hoodies are the ultimate travel companion because they’re versatile. With a hoodie collection, you can really cover all bases:Lightweight hoodies are perfect for warmer days or layering during chilly mornings.Fleece-lined hoodies keep you cozy during colder months or in overly air-conditioned shops, buses or planes.Oversized hoodies offer a relaxed fit for long travel days or lounging at your hotel.Even in a light rain or the start of a rain shower, a hoodie is a great item to have—pull up the hood and head for cover.By ensuring your wardrobe has different hoodie types and styles, you’ll always have the perfect hoodie for the forecast, no matter where your adventures take you.3. Practicality Meets PersonalityYour wardrobe reflects your personality and a variety of hoodies lets you showcase different facets of who you are. Whether you’re channeling your inner magic or proudly sporting designs inspired by your favorite travel destinations, your collection can serve as a wearable scrapbook of your passions and adventures.Plus, graphic hoodies are conversation starters. A fellow Disney traveler might notice your subtle Disney hoodie and strike up a conversation, making your travels even more memorable.4. Stay Fresh on Long TripsLet’s face it—travel can be messy. From the inevitable coffee spill on a flight, to dripping ice cream in the heat of a ride line, having just one hoodie on hand isn’t always practical. A collection of unique hoodies allows you to rotate through styles, so you always look (and feel) fresh without overloading your suitcase.5. Collect Memories, Not Just HoodiesMany graphic hoodies are designed to commemorate experiences or are inspired by events or activities. A hoodie purchased to celebrate your first park visit, another from a beloved travel destination, and one featuring your favorite travel mantra can all serve as keepsakes. Over time, your collection becomes a reflection of your journeys and the memories you’ve made.6. Practically Perfect for TravelersTravelers know the importance of packing wisely. Graphic hoodies serve as the ultimate travel companion for several reasons:Versatility: They work for multiple occasions, from a morning coffee run to an adventurous theme park day.Cozy for transit: Whether you’re on a plane, train or bus, a hoodie doubles as an extra layer or even a makeshift pillow.Photogenic: Hoodies with unique designs make your travel photos pop, ensuring your memories are as stylish as they are magical.When you own a collection of several different hoodies, you’ll always have a hoodie ready for your next adventure, perfectly suited to the destination and experience.7. Versatility Beyond TravelFor the record, your hoodies don’t have to stay in the suitcase. They’re just as perfect for running errands at home, grabbing coffee with friends, or relaxing with a beverage and snacks to watch a movie. A collection of hoodies ensures you’re not always grabbing the same hoodie, which keeps your wardrobe fresh and fun.8.
