Dapper Day Expo

[cruisehopeful]

I am looking at going to the Expo this November (after a few years of wanting to go, but always being too busy to go) and have some questions for anyone who has already been. I will likely not be visiting the parks because I will be there for the 2 Saturdays before and believe it or not, I do get Disneyland burnout, lol. I would be coming up for a day (no overnight) just to do the expo and probably get a nice meal.

I love vintage clothing, dresses and classic cars. The pictures on the website look like it will have all those things. What is my best choice for parking? Will the DLH offer event parking? I feel like I would be there for a long period of time and the parking cost could get pretty high, even if I have a meal there.

I'm thinking Saturday is better because stuff may sell out?

Any other advice or reviews you could give me regarding the expo itself? I know many people like to attend for the discounts, but I have an AP and I won't be staying overnight, so those things aren't going to be useful to me.

I would just park in the Mickey and Friends/Pixar Pals structure and walk to the DLH.

You're right about stuff selling out. If I see something I want and it's unique, I buy it then because it's likely to be gone soon, especially if it's one-of-a-kind. You may be able to get better prices towards the end of the Expo but the selection will also be depleted. If you are only going one day, I'd go early. The ticket will get you in both days, though, so you could go Sat and Sun if you had a place to stay. I've never tried to bargain, myself, so I don't know if vendors do that or not. I'm sure it would depend on how much they have and how quickly it sells.

From their expo ticket purchase page:
EXPO PARKING: Best short-term Expo parking is in the Downtown Disney lots, or if also visiting the theme parks, use the Mickey & Friends / Pixar Pals Parking Structures. Click here for Disneyland Resort Parking Info. Ride sharing services are suggested as Disney parking lots may be extremely busy on Sunday in particular.
