In florida's summer heat, I find this dress code to be a bit much! I know that I definately wouldn't want to go back and get dressed for dinner if I was planning on being in the park that day!

As a gamer as well, I don't feel pushed to see it at all.

I live in Orlando and work outside everyday. I wear a Polo, slacks, and 10" combat boots everyday. Light airy trainers and shorts sounds pretty casual to me.

Yup. Whatever happened to just locking them in the car and bringing out a doggy bag for them to eat on the way back to the hotel. I swear, people have no imagination anymore.

There's plenty of restaurants for Children.
Besides..... how else are children going to learn decorum and proper dress if they dont from an early age?
I'll give you a prime example ( & @Disneyhead'71 will likely back me up)..... People today have no idea what proper dress is in formal situations. For example - funerals. Look at what adults wear to a very reverent and dignified setting as a funeral and you'll be appalled. I've worked so many when I've been one of the best dressed people in the room, even with cameras.
(Side note, I worked a Cop Funeral in 2005/6 in Orlando and the video guy for Orange County SO showed up in shorts. Complete lack of respect.)
So I'm fine with making it so we teach kids a little decorum.

Not to get off the topic of jorts and kids wearing collared shirts, but I thought this was an interesting read:

Not sure if it has been posted here before, but it was the first time I had seen it. Staggs is still holding on to the notion that the project was not over budget.

One of our most memorable dining experiences, my Dad and I were just talking about it the other night, was after a ride on the Durango & Silverton Railroad in 1992. We saw a sign for Prime Rib buffet, which my parents thought sounded good. So we walk into this restaurant, and its clearly high end, Maitre D, crystal and gold everywhere. My parents quite sheepishly go to turn around and the very finely-dressed Maitre'D quickly comes over and assures us that they are very well aware that most of their customers have come for the train, and they expect us to be dressed as we are, in our shorts and tank tops; their job was to deliver a fine dining experience and that did not depend on the attire of the clientele.
So we stayed, and it is still one of the best experiences I've ever had. The food was phenomenal, and at 16, I had never dined anywhere where there was always someone to help with your chair, or refold your napkin while you were away from the table. Where silverware would appear and disappear as needed. Your every need was attended too, and yet it felt like there wasn't anyone else there at all. My Dad calls it five-star, but I imagine people would disagree, because it was a buffet. But aside from preconceptions that come with what a buffet should be, it was exceptional in every other way.
In a world of limitless opportunities, it seems like there should be room to be both casual in atmosphere and yet extravagant in terms of the menu. Just like, there are people that love to dress up, but through circumstances have to be frugal. So why not a place where cocktail dresses are expected, but nothing costs more than $10. Strange now, but maybe someday. Like those cat coffee houses.

What is even funnier is what some folks choose to wear to court. Pajamas and fuzzy slippers to full on spandex club wear with 7" clear acrylic platforms.

I actually take the opposite view on this. If I'm having dinner at one of the resorts, I almost always go back to my room and change after being in the parks all day, especially if it's hot and I'm headed to a nicer restaurant.

In June, July, and Aug, I almost always go to the room and shower prior to going to dinner. If for nothing else to put on a dry shirt and socks.I actually take the opposite view on this.

I just found out that Jean shorts went out of style in the 90's and are now called Jorts. My wife made me quit wearing them. No wonder it's been so hard trying to find them in stores now. A lot of people make fun of them now. Not that it is any reason for you to stop wearing them but something to consider.

The best Jorts are the really high waisted ones. And they pair quite nicely with a cropped tank top.
And for the ladies, same thing!

I understand that people are not going to buy specific vacation clothes, but if clothing is physically unfortable then you bought the wrong clothing, be it wrong for your body shape and/or wrong for the climate. Even the cursed tie does not choke the wearer when properly worn.
