Mickey tie dye

[ShannyMcB]

hi folks
Has anyone done tiedye at the resorts recently? How does it work? So they send you off with a wet shirt that needs to sit in your room overnight? Some sort of fast drying dye? What makes it "mickey?" Decent range of kid sized shirts?
Not sure if we are going to do it but could be a fun souvenir.

They tie up a mickey head in the t-shirts prior to your putting the tie dye on them. It's a well known pattern (you can google it if you'd like to see how one is done)
They take days to cure so yes, you are sent off with a wet shirt, in a plastic bag)
There are all sizes of kids and adult sizes

They also have aprons and pillowcases.
The item is tightly wound up and tied with rubber bands.
Table of many different colors of dye in squirt bottles.
You just squirt your chosen colors . They wrap it in lots of plastic to carry and tell you it is safe to pack in suitcase … I would bring large ziploc bag if I was traveling.
They also tell you how many days to allow colors to set and the longer you leave it in the bag the more permanent the color design will last. I think I waited a week and was so happy with the surprise .
I really thought I would hate it but I loved it. And still love it.
I am careful to wash it with similar colors in the wash machine ,just in case .
I also think it is special to make this at POP Centuryinsteadof some of the other resorts. Cause it’s groovy!

Yeah, it's not a instant gratification kind of thing... but as others have mentioned the more time it's wrapped up in your room/in your suitcase, the better results. We've left ours for many, many days. In my experience the CMs do a really good job of wrapping it up - we toss it in our suitcase and forget about it until we get home.

One of our favorite activities and creates souvenirs we actually use IRL.
