Ladies, what kind of hat do you wear at Disney?

[jfranklyn]

This is a question for the ladies. I'm not a hat person, but I realize that I should probably wear one on our trip (which starts tomorrow!). Any ideas of a hat I could go out and find today that would help me stay cook and out of the direct sun?

Anything with a brim to shade your face and possible also the back of your neck. I wear a baseball cap from my work.

Wait, Buy a WDW hat...a fabulous Hat store is located within the MK park which sells solely hats!

We have safari hats,DH and I love them they keep the sun off our heads and neck.

I always wear a baseball cap as it keeps the sun off my face, but there's a huge variety of hats at WDW.

I usually wear a visor but I'm thinking of getting a safari type hat this year. The top of my scalp gets burned with the visor.

The Tilley hat! Not only will it shade you from the sun, but when you're overheated you can fill it with water to get a good douse - it's fantastic, for Disney and beyond.

I'm wearing a Red Sox ball cap on my trip (which starts tomorrow!) I am thinking about buying a wide brimmed straw type hat if I can find one at the mall tonight because I think it might be cooler. I am also bringing a bandanna to wipe sweat with.

Did you have to post that!? Now I want one. They look fantastic.

Sorry, Quinn222, but I can understand the temptation. I LOVE Tilley hats. Everyone in my family has one when we go to Disney. And you'd be amazed how many people ask us where to get them... last time I was in Disney, they sell knock off versions in several spots, but I didn't see the original anywhere - not even at the Canadian pavillon at Epcot!! The hats were created by a Canadian. Honestly, they are the best hat I've ever worn - they have straps that go under the chin and on the back of your head so if it's really windy, they don't blow off ( and for you boaters out there, if it blows off your head - ie., you didn't use your straps - it floats in water!!) Buy one. You won't be sorry!

I'm bringing a pink POTC baseball cap I got really cheap in a Disney store, and also a really awful looking hat that looks kind of like a baseball cap but has a very long brim in the front and a bow in the back. I don't care what it looks like as long as my face doesn't get burned.

I used to wear visors until I got a bad burn on the part in the hair. Ouch!

It's hard for me to pick a hat that fits and looks good because I must have a big head or something. I'm liking that Tilley hat. Too late for this trip, but maybe for the next one.

My husband always wears a hat with a brim. I bought him a very nice one at the Walking Store, but I'm not sure if it's a Tilley. It was expensive. He has had some skin cancers on his face and it is very important for the hat to have a brim. I, too, am thinking of wearing a hat on this trip. A baseball cap is some help, but doesn't protect your ears or your neck.

No kidding! The T5 is now on my wish list.

no hat/cap for me - instead, a visor

keeps sun out of your eyes, the top is "open" and it's easy to adjust with the velcro strap - put my hair in a ponytail out the top and i'm good to go!

I usually wear my DVC member hat. It always gets a "welcome home" from the DVC rep in the booth.
