โYou get a plain white t-shirt (I'm an adult so I brought my own size and they gave me a discount). At our session they taught folks how to do two different types: the traditional tie-dye and the Mickey Mouse tie-dye which I chose. They teach you how to use rubberbands to make the three circles (two ears and head) in several places over your shirt. It came out recognizable is all I would say. But I sort of ruined it at the end by just splashing/spraying different color dyes in a rain pattern on it. Wish I hadn't done that.โ
โWe did them on our trip in August of 2016. Our Mickey's turned out okay, but I had hoped that the colors would have been a bit more "Vibrant". Still, it was a fun activity and my DD11 had an awesome time doing it. I did one too. I did buy their shirt, but the funny thing is that the gloves they give you were just WAY to small for my hands. They give you, basically, the plastic Food Service type gloves. For me, they had to go get some larger latex (like medical) gloves to fit my hands.โ
