Traveling to Disney World can be a hassle, especially if you’re flying. First, it’s a struggle having to deal with multiple suitcases at the airport.

Second, many airlines often charge for a checked bag (and those charges can add up). Plus it’s nice to just get off the plane and go STRAIGHT to Disney World without having to wait for your checked bags. So what if we could help you come up with the perfect outfits for your Disney World trip WITHOUT needing extra suitcase space?

We love helping you plan your trip from start to finish, and that means preparing you for what to pack! Click below for more AllEars Style posts.

That might sound impossible, but we’ve got a trick. It’s all about the Little Black T-Shirt Dress. Now, a little black dress should be a staple in ANY wardrobe, but we’re going to show you how to make it work for your Disney World trip so you can style it multiple ways, meaning you only need one or two of these dresses and all you have to worry about packing are accessories.

So let’s plan your outfit for your day at EPCOT. We’ve got an EPCOT-inspired outfit that starts with this dress and adds some super comfy shoes, as well as a fun Spaceship Earth-inspired fanny pack or some cool Loungefly bags. Pair it with a pair of Minnie Ears (your choice, although we are LOVING the Three Caballeros ears), and you’re all set for the day.

Okay, so it’s time to head to Magic Kingdom — and you’ll need an outfit for that, too. We’re starting with that same black dress and pairing it with some Mickey or Minnie-inspired details, like yellow shoes for Minnie or Mickey shoes for Mickey. We’re also adding some earrings that have both Mickey and Minnie. Choose a bag to match and you’re ready for a magical day in the Magic Kingdom.

But don’t worry because you can also style that black dress for your day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Rep your love for Star Wars with this dress, a Star Wars backpack, white sneakers, and matching Minnie ears. Or rep the Tower of Terror with a bellhop hat or Tower of Terror Minnie Ears, black sneakers, and a burgundy bag.

We’ve got one more park to go. You gotta’ rep Disney’s Animal Kingdom and this dress works for that, too! Go for a Wakanda Vibe by pairing the dress with some Black Panther ears, a Black Panther bag, and black sneakers. Or be safari ready with a safari hat, white bag, and animal print shoes.

So if you don’t like the style of this black dress — don’t worry. Because we’ve found a VARIETY of little black dresses you can pair with these accessories. Or mix and match styles because these are all super lightweight and can be rolled into tight little balls to easily fit in your luggage without taking up a lot of space.

See how easy that is? This dress is perfect for all your needs, takes up very little space in your suitcase, and makes it easier for you to travel with just a carry-on bag.
