We finally got a reservation for our Sept. trip for dinner at 7:45. We will be heading there right from MK, are we going to have to go back to our resort to change or will they allow park attire cloths? Any suggestions would be helpful, thank you!!!
Dress Code for Signature Restaurants is Resort Casual. Not permitted in dining room: Tank
tops, swimsuits or swimsuit cover-ups, hats for gentlemen, cut-offs, torn clothing of any
kind, or t-shirts with offensive language and/or graphics.
People wear basketball shorts and t-shirts. It's really kind of annoying for the people who dress up. If you're set on going straight from the park, I'd go with golf-type attire. Khaki shorts and a golf shirt should be fine.We finally got a reservation for our Sept. trip for dinner at 7:45.

Great idea, we will do that!What we typically do in your situation is pack a backpack with some nicer clothes, like khaki pants, dressier shoes and a polo or button up shirt for me and a skirt or dress for her, along with a couple of things to freshen up, like deodorant and maybe some stuff to fix up the hair. We will store the backpack in the lockers while we're in the park, and then leave the parks early for the reservation at the resort.
Once we get there, we find a good seat in a lounge and have a couple of drinks while winding down. You know, relax a little. While we're relaxing, each one of us takes a turn heading to the restroom to change and clean up. By the time the reservation rolls around, we've had a couple of beverages, we feel like we're wearing comfortable attire and we're cool, calm and ready to eat.
We've done this several times for restaurants like Flying Fish and Jiko, and it's always a nice time. If this is something you think you'd like to do, I recommend using the restrooms on the first floor by the Wave to change first, and then just heading up to the California Grill Lounge to wait for your reservation. You might not want to leave the lounge, even, depending on your seats. It's a great location and you can order the full menu from those cushioned armchairs.
I guess Victoria and Albert's is the only restaurant that requires a suit and tie.People wear basketball shorts and t-shirts. It's really kind of annoying for the people who dress up.

I'd personally want to get cleaned up, shave, and put on some real pants and a nice shirt.
Some people wear ties/suits/jackets but that's not at all necessary.

We will have Yachtsman and Citricos and both are scheduled for relaxing days where we won't spend hours and hours at the parks!Agree Crush,it's our only signature dining experience,so it's all dressed up for us,all neat & tidy.
Definitely dress up for California Grill. There is certainly a trend of people basically showing up in theme park tshirt and shorts. It isn't good for people who are spending $100s of to eat in the ambience of McDonalds.
Agreed!!!
I would really like to see Disney enforce the dress code. If people don't want to follow the dress code they should eat elsewhere.
