Ime looking at these online stylist companies and the reviews dont seem great. Is there a thing where someone goes shopping with you for a few hours to see what actually fits well?

6:01pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

No personal experience but I know that both Nordstrom and Ann Taylor offer in-store styling appointments.

6:10pm on 7/28/26 by CitrusSwirlGirl

I have zero style. Blue Jean shorts and tshirts . Good luck .

6:40pm on 7/28/26 by burfe1501

Zero style here too! I shop at costco. And uniqlo. :p

6:55pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

To keep it simple, I would go to Ann Taylor and ask them for help. Plenty of cute, professional, reasonably priced clothes. They'd probably love to have someone to dress!

6:56pm on 7/28/26 by hol74976

Used to love anntaylor early in my career - will try that!

7:03pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

Wear your Mickey shirts and spirit jerseys, but curl your hair. You'll be set.

7:03pm on 7/28/26 by trishr.

Go to an Ann Taylor Factory Store, @totsy. Same quality, good selection, better prices. Pretty sure there's one in the outlets near Disney.

7:08pm on 7/28/26 by utang44

If you contact a department store like Macys, you can make a personal stylist appointment to try things on in the store. My mom's very well dressed friend has always done this. I am more on the tomboy side. :-) Good luck in the interviews, @Totsy!

7:17pm on 7/28/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Stich fix is my go to. Their pants always fit me!!

7:22pm on 7/28/26 by Phillylaura

When I had to 'adult' my professional wardrobe, I got several prices from LOFT. I think on Liner recommendation, too. Same parent company as Ann Taylor.

7:34pm on 7/28/26 by moondance07

And by adult i mean - finally got rid of my right-out-of-college stuff. Wore that stuff many many years.

7:41pm on 7/28/26 by moondance07

I have had good experiences at White House Black Market with salespeople helping me. I think they may also be owned by Ann Taylor parent company. WHBM is one of the few places remaining big where I can find petite sizes.

7:45pm on 7/28/26 by evamarie320

Thanks for all these recommendations! loft was where I built my grad school interviewing wardrobe. Probably worth a look again!

7:50pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

Nordstrom used to have that kind of help. But their service has gone way downhill ... not sure if they still do

9:59pm on 7/28/26 by VikeQueen

Good luck!!

10:00pm on 7/28/26 by VikeQueen

Talbots got me jobs/professional school entry in my 20s and my 50s. Joyless purchases but needed. Engage a seamstress or tailor if needed. I'm old! You kids get offa my lawn!

11:03pm on 7/28/26 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Chicos also have stylists that help. There are stores in Winter Park and Winter Garden. Also an outlet nearby, I'm told.

11:13pm on 7/28/26 by snowdiz

Nordstrom offers free hemming service.

9:14am by jules_fletch

I can confirm that the Ann Taylor at the outlet is fantastic. Needed a dress for an event 2 nights ago that DH forgot to mention. Lovely lady named Martha was super helpful and got me all fixed up. I feel like Loft is more casual than actual AT.

10:38am by youcanfly

Going in person if possible is best! Good luck!

10:58am by maurine08

I've had great experiences with stylist appointments at JCrew (many years ago) and Macys. Was just thinking of trying it again. I've also found salespeople at Loft and Ann Taylor to be helpful.

12:07pm by royjoyahoy

Agree with @snow, Chicos employees are really helpful. I've found WHBM(same company) brings exactly the opposite items I'm looking for (and ignore my age!) so I walk out.

12:37pm by irenek

Once a Chico stylist knew my style, she also sends me messages about related items going on sale.

12:46pm by snowdiz

Thanks so much! With try chicos and ann taylor outlet then! Cant wait to leave!

2:03pm by Totsypooh

I have been dipping my toes in the clothes rental market. Used nully for a conference and I have a rent the runway dress coming for a wedding next month. So far I've had really good experiences.

3:36pm by jenc45

I looked into that @jenny but wondered what I'd do if dress arrived and it didn't fit. They only send it a few days before event. Let me know how it goes.

3:43pm by evamarie320

Try consignment stores and goodwill if you have time too:) never know what you'll find tho...

8:43pm by vmorrison63

Oh my very good friend recommended nully too! Shes been very happy with the service

I was looking into stich fix and daily look but the reviews seem mixed. And im not sure about not being able to try on for size

Mrs. Allan did StitchFix for awhile. It's good for what you're asking about - a 'personal stylist' - but I don't think it will be quick enough for what you need. You could always send back clothes after trying them on, though, I'll give it that.

14 min ago by allanadale

I had very mixed experience with Stitch Fix. Things generally fit and so added a few cute things to update my wardrobe. But stylist sent opposite of what I requested. Finally quit it.

8 min ago by evamarie320

I have good luck at Talbots. They can order in your size to try on at store or st home and return. I am specific about fabrics and comfort. Ann Taylor can be dressier

With the low crowds at the parks now, should LL still be purchased from 8/29 - 9/1?

51 min ago by pazadera

There's no single answer for this. Some people, myself included, purchase LL any day we're a park, no matter what the CL is. Others will ropedrop or wait in standby lines and skip LLs. LL will save you time at any time of year, regardless of crowds.

29 min ago by utang44

Do you go frequently and are willing to skip things if wait is long? Re you and your travel group ok with 30 plus minute waits for headliners? Even low Cl days can have long waits in headliners.

Is there a drop for Test Track LL?

The 12:47 drop is "iffy". It is very weather dependent.

12:50pm by PrincipalTinker

Wow. I haven't looked at individual ride details in years. I had no idea all that was there, lol.

2:57pm by cdlla

I can't remember - can I modify into a drop? I haven't used LL in a long time but am booking in the morning for a week out, and the TT time is already early afternoon.

Going to MK on 8/20 only. Want a 1pm convo tix. Can only find 1 ending on 8/12. Can I buy that and then on 8/13 ask them to change the date?

Is the convention ending on 8/12 or that is as far out that tickets can be available?

3:31pm on 7/18/26 by PrincipalTinker

@JER might know how to get a different date, but I would not buy one and expect to be able to change the date to one not covered by the conference. You might check the forum thread related to conference tickets for info on choosing dates.

4:05pm on 7/18/26 by utang44

Whoops, I meant @ JJT.

4:06pm on 7/18/26 by utang44

@principal...it's as far out as I can buy a ticket

7:12pm on 7/19/26 by penguinmom98

You will probably need to find a different convention with later dates. The forum post can help you.

7:19pm on 7/19/26 by melcort10

Huh. Just tried and cannot find a conference that will cover your date. Must be a dead zone for conferences generally? Could only find a DisneyLAND one to cover your date.

7:28pm on 7/19/26 by Jennyhirsch

Does appears those dates are available. Here is a link for one starting on the 23 of August https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/bolt_wdw_conv_00001/admission/tickets/after-1pm-mk-dhs/

7:34pm on 7/19/26 by WorldTraveler34

There is a 10 day gap between conventions

7:35pm on 7/19/26 by WorldTraveler34

I meant to say are not available

7:39pm on 7/19/26 by WorldTraveler34

I thought JJT had a possible work around for that. I'll see if I can look for it.

Click that link and follow the instructions. You should be able to adjust the dates. I was able to do that just now, but obv didn't buy the tix. Used this conv: https://disneyevent.com/mersep2026wdw1 Good luck!

If you use my con tix date change trick, I suggest picking a conference that starts after your intended use date. We had one person report a hiccup in Disneyland, not WDW a year or two ago using an earlier con than their trip. Even though all other...

8:28pm on 7/19/26 by JJT (staff)

..reports have been no issues, it might be a safer tactic using a later con that is still open when you are on site. (At this point I suspect that one report was a random glitch, otherwise we would heard more of them by now.)

My group of 19 is going for 2 days in a week. We plan to hit all parks each day. Usually we hit AK first but no one wants to this time as priorities for RD are EP and HS. Are the lines pretty short if we show up to AK an hour before closing?

5:43pm by meggie228

...view 2 more comments

Would it be easier to do 2 parks per day? You rope drop HS one day and EP the other? End the day at MK and AK.

6:57pm by Phil H. Magic

Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but for some reason my crew manages to do it. Every trip we say we won't, but we always end up doing it-even in August. My crew likes certain rides at each park and just want those ones. We are used to DLR and riding rides

Rare price point for CC in December. Possibility we'll see a 2-nighter or two appear before December rolls in, super unlikely we'll see something longer than that. But who knows?

A pair of identical Boardwalk studios that have been out there since last August both dropped to a terrific price today - as well as a pair of similar BLT listings for January! It is DOUBLES DAY.
