Captain America: Civil War premieres May 6th, and Disney kicked it off right at Disney Park with parties, giveaways, and more. This happened to coincide with Disneyland’s Dapper Day celebration, and Marvel and Star Wars vintage styling was out in force this weekend.
The weekend kicked off with a giveaway sponsored by Disney Studios and a party to determine if people were Team Cap or Team Ironman. While this certainly seems to be the question of the hour, they offered plenty of other alternatives for Disneyland guests including a build-a-bear pop up shop showing off their Civil War merchandise and a Ride Makers shop that also showed off their Captain America merchandise.

While a DJ played music and the crowd got ready to dance, they offered giveaways and asked people to chose between Captain America and Iron Man. The choice at the end of the evening was overwhelming. What team are guests at the Disneyland resort on?
It looks like the fans at Downtown Disney have made their choice! #TeamCap! pic.twitter.com/W2YJ8QcLU3

The rest of the weekend continued with the popular tradition of Dapper Day as well as the tradition of Bat’s day. Dapper Day, as you might remember is the tradition of dressing up in 1950s style clothing. Bats Day involves Gothic Clothing and showing off these fashions around the park. With Peggy Carter (#renewagentcarter!) foremost on everyone’s mind, there were quite a few Peggys in the Park including Cosplay Parents, up and coming cosplayers who dressed as Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter.

There were a number of other Star Wars references and Marvel references including several Peggy Cosplayers and even a Jarvis. Disney’s Dapper Day is always a hint, and the #renewagentcarter campaign was on everybody’s mind.
