We are frequent Disney World users visitors. I worked there in the late 90′s (or as I like to call it, the skinny days). We’ve been going on and off a lot over the last 13 years that we’ve lived in Orlando.
No matter what your thoughts are regarding the happy happy fake times at Disney, we loves it.
The stalkers observers that we are, we spot the outfits of those around us at the Mouse House. Big families, small families, matching families.
Those families that all dress alike to be able to find one another in a crowd.
THOSE families.
I kind of get the point in doing the matchy-matchy at the Land o’ Happy, but it can go too far.
Here, my dear friends, is the matchy-matchy couple who needs a serious intervention. I’m guessing the mom is the one in the dress.
Oh yes, that’s a surfin’ Mickey pattern.
I can get you one in your size if you need. Just let me know.

a) I love This? Is not OK.
b) THAT is not okay!

totally not OK
That is COUTURE, dah-ling.
Disney Couture:)
(when the powers that be intervene, may I request that the gentleman sporting the Hawaiian-style shirt be given a small trim?)
.-= Sara ´s last blog ..Sara Sophia and the no good, really bad day. =-.
ohhhhh – i wasn’t aware of the specialness of the disney couture.
I wonder if they failed to bring appropriate clothes on vacation with them?
This reminds me of seeing tourists in the same blue generic Hawaiian print from the ABC store [drug/convenience store] in Hawaii.
It *might* be a packing fail. Or an airline-luggage fail. Maybe.
you’re giving them more credit than i think they deserve.
Those two need more than your bog standard intervention – they need to be kept further than 100m from each other at all times!
like in Finding Nemo: INTERVENTION!
I am only okay with matchy matchy when it is a large group going to the House of the Mouse…yanno, so they can find each other in a crowd. Even then, it gives me the bad shivers!
.-= Hilly´s last blog ..You’re So Ugly When You Cry… =-.
i’m OK w/ the matchy-matchy in the big groups, but in a group of TWO? erms. no.
Dude, I make us match because I will lose them. Seriously. Wanna see?

I think orange is our color.
.-= MomBabe´s last blog ..First Day of Preschool =-.
oh, dood – i make my kids match sometimes. but adults? in a pair? in mickey clothes? no. not allowed.
I get dressing kids alike, so that when your bratty little one runs off, you can point at his older brother’s shirt and say “He’s wearing this!” But the entire family? Or just two adults who like Disney so much they go without children, wearing matching Mickey print clothes? Tis a little much methinks.
.-= Jill´s last blog ..I’m a fraud =-.
methinks you’re right.
What would be even scarier is if these were handmade. But that you can buy adult matching Mouse-y outfits even at the Happiest Place on Earth, is still wrong on so many levels.
.-= Tara R.´s last blog ..Fancy-smancy new header =-.
yes – the availability of adult matchy-matchy is icky.
That’s tragic.
.-= Mwa´s last blog ..Europop craziness! =-.
on many levels
That? Is what happens when people get soaking wet on Splash Mountain and are forced to spend $100 on overpriced clothes in the Disney gift shop. At least that’s what I’d like to think.
“I’m guessing the mom is the one in the dress.”
Bwaa haaa haaaa!
.-= Cass´s last blog ..Phoenix–where should we live?? =-.
believe what you will, but at Epcot, there are no water rides.
Is that a Mutsy stroller?
.-= Betty-Lou Brandine´s last blog ..Secrets – Part Three: Bite-Size Edition =-.
dunno what that is.
Dude. Check out that guy’s HAIR. man. I want hair like that.
.-= lceel´s last blog ..Tuesday Tale – Inferno conclusion =-.
please tell me you’re kidding.
Ah yes. I head to Mouse Central (West Coast version) next week sans kids for a conference (I know, I love my job) and I can’t wait to see folks like these. It’s the costumed character of this generation. I’m helping my children overcome their fear of large costumed characters and teaching them to fear people like this. It’s Stepford wives meets Disney I tell you. For all that is good and holy, it must be stopped.
.-= Fear and Parenting in Las Vegas´s last blog ..Getting Kanye’d =-.
there is so much to see (and laugh at).
*hangs head* I make my small family of four wear matching outfits at our yearly visits to the house that the mouse built.I even get special outfits made on esty.And yes I made my new husband wear the hawaiian mickey shirt on our honeymoon and I wore the dress to the poly luau. Please do not throw things at me.
i’m not against the matchy-matchy to find big families. but 2 people? uh, no.
I LOVE This? Is not Okay.
(Also? I definitely call the 90′s my skinny years. They also go by the “forgotten” years because, well, I can’t remember half of them. But that’s somewhat irrelevant.
.-= Jill´s last blog ..Visitation. =-.
damn 90s
So not okay.. and that hair.. omg..
.-= Kim´s last blog ..Meet Katelyn – Long Island Portrait Photographer =-.
the hair is its own This? Is not OK post.
The Daver and I went out a couple of weeks ago, both of us wearing black and white track jackets, unintentionally. And I do mean it, we weren’t trying to match. I cannot tell you how douchy I felt. I ditched him for awhile, and even then, I felt lame.
But this, this is just. Wow.
AWESOME.
.-= Aunt Becky´s last blog ..Aunt Becky Meets The Emo Glasses And Assorted Stories =-.
you know you did it on purpose. some kind of Freudian deal.
Oh my, that’s so sad!! Even down to the hair! That poor child of theirs has no chance!
.-= Jeanette´s last blog ..Simply white =-.
i wish i’d seen the kid.
Am remembering a huge part of the reason why I left – yea, FLED – the Sunshine State…simply could not adhere to the dress code…*shudder*
.-= michellany´s last blog ..WHOOSH! =-.
HA HA HA HA HA. That is teh classeh.
.-= Heather´s last blog ..Why I’m Not Ready For Motherhood..and other random things =-.
totally
What I want to know is if the kiddos in the stroller were matchy matchy as well…..or were they only worried about losing the adults?
.-= Tiffany´s last blog ..Shame On You, WIC =-.
i really wish i’d seen the kid.
Oh. Lord. Oh my. That’s original.
.-= Two Makes Four´s last blog ..Maybe a Tiny Little Ray of Sunshine =-.
unfortunately, it’s not really original at Disney…
ummm I understand wearing the same color shirts if you are in a huge group but just two people…in the age of cell phones…weird…
.-= Jen´s last blog ..If I thought I could get away with it… =-.
totally weird.
This? Is hilarious. Love love love.
I’ll have to send you the pic of me n Warrior in matching Hawaiian print getups. LOL
.-= VDog´s last blog ..Speechless Humpday =-.
