NYC ABD question

[socababy]

Curious about how everyone packed for this trip? This will be our first ABD trip! How did everyone dress for dinners and the show? Trying to figure out just how dressy to pack or is it more a casual trip?

Hi! Since no one has answered you, I will tell you what I am planning to do. I will be on the May 12 trip. For the theater night, I plan to take a pair of black knit exercise pants. They are loose, relaxed fit and will not look like exercise pants, hopefully. I plan to pack a couple of dressy tops to go with them. I will pack capris and maybe jeans, depending on the weather that week, for day time wear. I will pack nice tops that look more cleaned up in case we won't be going back to the hotel to change before dinners. I expect that whatever we wear all day will be our evening wear also with theater night being the exception. I am planning shoes that are able to do a LOT of walking.

I went on the Italy trip and really stressed about clothes. I discovered that everyone wore regular casual clothes and athletic shoes and we all looked like tourists together!

I hope someone who has been there will help with more advice!

I always have to chuckle a bit about the folks who post so much about "not looking like a tourist". Walking in a group behind a Guide carrying an "Adventures by Disney" paddle will pretty much blow your cover anyways! I always wear what I think I'll be comfortable in, and what I think's appropriate for the setting. I think you'll be fine with what you list!

The itinerary should note if a special dress code is required. One of my Ireland dinners demanded nicer clothes....it was the castle golf club.

Otherwise, tour clothes are generally alright.

Broadway shows will have people in all types of clothes. It's not like the opera in Italy, where Marco, my guide, insisted I run and change. Very glad I did.
