Are you trying to figure out what to wear to Disneyland in May?
Don’t worry, I’m here to help!
May is a phenomenal time for a trip to Disneyland as it’s the sweet spot of spring between the brisk chill of winter and the overwhelming heat of summer.
The temperatures are rising making for an enjoyable day in the parks without getting too hot, while the month is bursting with events and holidays filling Disneyland with excitement.
May is a relatively easy month for deciding what to wear to Disneyland as you don’t necessarily need to worry about temperature extremes.
Park days are enjoyable with a mild climate in Anaheim but this typically means you will be doing more exploring and tracking more steps.
For the many miles you’ll walk at Disneyland, comfort is key but that doesn’t mean you need to compromise on style.

Sweater
You can easily get away without a sweater in May but I’d rather take one and not use it than stand watching the fireworks feeling the cold. Just my opinion…
Sandals
If you opt for a t-shirt and shorts, I’d personally opt for sneakers but if you go for a romper, sandals just elevate your look a touch more.
- Hottest style. Fashion & Trendy
- Cute and Comfortable Wedge Sandals
- Ankle Strap Style for Easy On/Off
You can make your look incredibly trendy while staying comfortable if you choose the right sandals.
Just make sure you choose correctly and wear something secure as you don’t want to be wearing slides or flip flops on certain attractions.

Top Tips on Choosing the Best Outfits for Disneyland in May
Now that you know what to wear to Disneyland, let’s go over a few tips to help you get started.
1. Get Your Star Wars Gear Early
If you are planning on showcasing your Star Wars fandom throughout the month of May, plan in advance to save yourself money on park prices.
Star Wars clothing is available everywhere and you can get it for a really affordable price.
However, shops on Batuu do have some unique gems that are worth the premium.
