Parks dress code?

[TLSnell1981]

I am an old lady and try to be in tune with today's styles. However, I do not think that visitors to DLR or WDW should be permitted to be in the park wearing only their underwear. My daughter saw a young woman dressed in a very tiny bra and very tiny panties. She reported it to a CM but was told they could do nothing about it.

Sure they could but they won't.

Agree about the booty shorts and the barely there bra/tanks that some people wear.

But - I also hate political shirts (it seems to only be one side who has to advertise it which is fascinating, but I digress). I don't want to see it when I'm trying to escape from that nonsense. I wish security CMs would turn guests away who got dressed in the morning and said..."Yes! This looks like a fine and upstanding choice to wear a shirt saying F*** so and so. I want Mickey Mouse and especially Goofy to know where I stand politically."

I'm just so tired of seeing the "He/I gave me/them the D" shirts that a few expecting parents have worn like...Obviously! We don't need the notice!

I would assume "shirts and shoes" are required as well as an implication that pants/shorts are required as well. It seems weird that would even have to be a discussion. I would also assume that bathing suits don't count as shirts unless they cover more than a string bikini top. That said, on water rides I would assume that someone slipping their shirt off so they can keep it dry and just wearing their swimsuit top wouldn't be a big deal.

I have apparently missed a lot not going for a few years!

True story. When Pleasure Island was still open, my husband and I were trying to get into one of the clubs and my husband had a FCUK T shirt on. The letters were sewn on with wool. The security guy told him he couldn't come in but if he turned it inside out, he'd be OK. He went into the restroom and did just that. When he came out we both burst out laughing, almost hysterically. Because the letters were sewn on with a contrasting wool and the shirt was now inside out, it looked even worse! We went back to the club and a female security guard also burst out laughing and waved us though quickly before the big guy spotted us.

When I see people with clothing like that, or worse, I often wonder what would prompt a person to actually want to wear something like that, or worse.

Youth. Kids do stupid stuff. Then they outgrow it, die, or end up in a low paying job. Such is life.

Those are pretty tacky for sure.

So we have our annual county fair. Always fun to see what the girl squads are wearing and try to guess what they were wearing when they left the house.

Part of the enforcement issue is probably the "free shirt scam" that has arisen; word got out that WDW would let you go to a gift shop and choose a shirt at no cost to cover up outfits that violated the dress code, so people started doing it deliberately to get a free shirt of their choice. This ended up costing the parks quite a bit, which I believe is part of why enforcement has been dialed back. (Although I'm sure it's more about the tendency of so many people these days to escalate to violence when their will is at all thwarted.) Personally, I think that the parks should have some large perforated Tyvek stickers made, and if you show up in an offensive shirt, they stick it on over the image/verbiage. It makes a confetti mess when you peel it off, which would serve them right.

If the outfit just doesn't have enough fabric to cover the private bits, then you shouldn't get past security, and you can leave and just find something else to wear on your own. (Alternatively, Disney could just buy men's XXL plain gray tees by the ton, keep them in every gift shop, and charge guests $5 to buy one to cover inappropriate clothing in order to be allowed to remain in the park; at that price it's a minimum 50% profit.)

FCUK is a brand, French Connection UK. I had at-shirt or two from there in my youth.

I agree with you for the most part. I guess where I am going is to say that where do the considerations begin or end for guests that may be offended by such attire based on cultural or religious beliefs? I know some will say if they are offended, then stay home, but they have every right to visit the parks and have a good time. That is why there should be an enforced standard that is inclusive to all. Inclusivity is a door that has to swing both ways.

If anyone is offended, that is their problem. You don't get to force your beliefs, religious, cultural, or otherwise on anyone else. As long as it is considered legal, that is all that matters. And as everyone's grandma has said, "if you don't like it, stay home". And no, visiting a theme park is not a "right". And I don't think that you comprehend what inclusivity means. If they banned people that are covered head to toe, that would be a problem. How is this still the mentality, that others need to conform to your personal beliefs? This post is sounding like a troll post.

Maybe the real reason Splash Mountain closed was to keep people from walking up stairs. One of our trips had a girl with no underwear and a short skirt making sure everyone behind her on the stairs knew. It was very disgusting, but I think Kennywood might not have minded.

Or "Flash Mountain"....LOL

 

[Lilsia]

Tolerance & inclusivity for me and mine, but not for you and your'n.

You are confused. You are more than welcome to wear what makes YOU comfortable. You are not allowed to dictate to others what they can wear. Not seeing why this is so hard to understand.

A good observation, I concur.

Yes, I realize that it is a brand.

Bringing up one's "religious beliefs" is an automatic self-righteous red flag. Believe what you want, keep it to yourself, and try to be happy.

It's FL. That's a red flag

I was at Disney and did not see one wearing anything in the park that was over the top. I think they do a good job enforcing the dress code.

However dress codes are necessary for some people don't know or don't care what is appropriate. I was in Cairo Egypt and some of the European tourists would wear tube tops and a short skirt into a mosque just to look around. That was not appropriate nor is it appropriate to wear a Thong Bikini and nothing else into Disney...... However I am sure someone has tried.

Threads like these just aren't the same without the color commentary of our old friend LowKey.

Once upon a time WDW was a family friendly venue. Personally I don't care to see someone's crotch, pubic bone, crack or bra. (not hypothetical...been there seen it) I do not want the kiddos subjected to that either. Is it really too much to expect at a theme parK?

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

We always see girls / women wearing booty shorts with their butt cheeks hanging out at the parks but it's their choice so I couldn't care less about that. What I DO wish WDW would enforce is the dress code at the signature restaurants.
