Observation on Disney fashion

This is actually a perfect time of year to go if you don't mind encountering
a little rain because it's much cooler (in summer, it's wiltingly hot),

EMiriamD...

I will absolutely testify to that. I was there in August several years
ago and it was, indeed, brutally hot. Inside the park they sell these
battery-operated water bottles that both spray water and have a little
fan on them; they're outrageously priced, something like $20 or $25,
but in that kind of heat you just break down and buy one within the
first half hour.

after the holidays (when many vacation), and just before spring break begins
anywhere. We had such a good time we're thinking of going again this coming
weekend!

At Disneyworld this past weekend it was rainy and pretty cool (for Orlando,
that is) at about 55 degrees. As we were exiting the monorail at the Magic
Kingdom, I noticed the attractive girl ahead of me had on a pleated
(very)mini-skirt with a light jacket and flip-flops. That really didn't
take my breath away so much as the fact that she had on these grey
legwarmers that looked like they were actually from the '80's as they were
so frayed and worn. They had large ribbing and were worn pulled down over
her foot and under the back of the flip-flops so they were hideously
frayed-obviously not the first time they'd been worn in this manner. To top
off the whole look - the legwarmers were help up with rubberbands!! What a

Isn't jjjjjulie also going to Disneyworld this week?

Another thing I forgot to add is that 'Gators' were EVERYWHERE. (Isn't that
what those rubbery things are called?) With socks, without socks, with

I have a feeling they're going to be huge this spring, summer and fall.

Crocs have more coverage than flip-flops.

That is pretty funny. They must be back. My pretty fashion-forward 15 year
old babysitter was wearing them the last time she came over. Caught me by
surprise, but after I got over the inital bewilderment, I kind of thought
she pulled it off. She had them on with a narrow cut jean and ballet style
flats.

I did notice that she was with a party of girls who were also wearing the
legwarmers and flip-flops although I didn't see anyone else with
rubberbands. Let's hope it was just a show of solidarity instead of fashion
faux pas!

All I could think about was how long it would take those things to soak up
all the surrounding water and become waterlogged.
