The Brown Derby doesn't have a dress code (well, apart from the one that applies to the theme park itself). Yes, it's a "Signature" restaurant, but only the ones at the hotels have the "business casual" dress code.
Le Cellier will also remain as no dress code, despite going Signature for dinner next month.
As far as I know, the only in-park restaurant in WDW with a dress code is Bistro de Paris (at least according to the WDW website).

even at the resort signature venues capris and a blouse would be fine from what i've seen and we in florida are so use to tourists that we all tend to dress that way anyway. it's just to hot in the summer i.e., late march through october lol to do or really expect anything else, especially in a vacation spot.
That's good to hear. Having lived in sweaters, pants, and boots for the past couple of months, I'm really looking forward to dressing up a little!

lol sounds good! our temps here in florida have been bipolar as usual this time of year...70s one day, 50s the next for most of late jan and into feb. it will be that way less and less through mid march (much warmer but a day here and there that it's cool) then it's shorts shorts and shorts and hot hot hot.
We were down there for a weekend 2 weeks ago and it was cool, but to us it felt wonderful. All you Florida natives were running around in winter coats, hats, & gloves, while we sat out on our balcony in jeans and a t-shirt. :lol:

Let me explain the REAL Dress Code for Signiture Restaurants again...
Do not arrive naked from the stomach down, in a T shirt that says "I eat Babies".
That's about it... If you are wearing something that would be classified as "neat" to anything aproaching a normal human being? You are Golden.
:sohappy: TTTOOOOO FUNNY!!!!! Your post makes the inner rebellious teenager in me think...hhhmmm i wonder if i could push the issue and wear that baby tshirt.

When went before, we just walked in wearing shorts and tees after being in the park for a couple of hours. The only disney restaurant that we have visited that required a dress code was palo. I bet that Albert and Victoria at gf will have a dress code.

Yes, V&A does have a dress code.
As for any other restaruant on property, they may have a code, but as Trotsky said, it is more of a suggestion. If you show up in clothes that look at least recently washed, and cover all the proper bits, they will let you in.
We (my kids and I) will make an effort to be presentable. Kakhis, or if it is blazingly hot out, golf shorts (not cargo shorts, not baggy basketball shorts, but nice shorts) shirt with a collar (even if only a polo), you get the idea. But I have seen people in cargo shorts and a t-shirt in the California Grill with no issues.

I was wondering about cali grill, so thanks for reading my mind. My boyfriend and I are foodies and go out to all types of restaurants and it is important to us to look presentable and up to par.
What does everyone do if planning on venturing back to the parks after a signature dinner? Just wear your "dressy" clothes? Go back to hotel and change? Bring a change of clothes?
Just kind of curious!

Isn't the dress code to get into the parks what you describe, something that covers all of the proper bits?

Yes, in my opinion, it would be fine. We have gotten very dressy for dinner one night and then have been in a tshirt and capris for a lunch a we had there. So I think a blouse with the capris is a good option. Have a great time! We have done Brown Derby several times but not with an Imagineer. I want to surprise my hubby with this on a visit. Have a great time!

I too enjoy going out to eat (I refuse to use the term 'foodie' - just a personal thing, I have been eating since before 'foodies' existed) and do try to dress in a presentable manner.
It must be something about WDW, because if the California Grill were located near me, I would not be comfortable going there in shorts. In WDW, it seems perfectly OK. As I said, there are people in there who are in a lot less dressier clothes than golf shorts and a collared shirt.
How we handle the day depends on where we are eating. Brown Derby is allways a pain, becaue it is in a park. To go back to the room and change is a royal hassle. Some EPCOT restaruants are also a pain. If we are going to a place where going to the room beforehand is a problem we dress nicely to go to the parks. Nicer shorts, shirt with a collar, maybe boat shoes. I will also duck into some place with AC before getting to the restaruant and cool off, and try to make myself (and my kids) 'look presentable' - go to a bathroom and wash your face, comb your hair, etc.
For resraruants in the MK area resorts (we try to stay at AKL) we sechedule a later dinner, go back to the resort, shower and change. We will spend some time after dinner wandering around the resort we ate at.
Clearly if eating at V&A, you need to change beforehand, unless you go to the parks in a sport coat. It was interesting riding the Monorail in one though

we went to the california grill the 1st week of december 2010 (9pm adr) and it was windy and coooooooooooooooooold out that night. we were basically wearing business casual (and one with nice jeans) and we hadn't really packed for temps quite as cold as they turned out to be so when we got up there for dinner we ended up grabbing our sweat shirts out of the car at the last minute so we ended up eating there looking from the waist up like we'd just left the gym :shrug:. they still seated us, served us, and happily took our money lol without batting an eye.

Well it has to do with being at a theme park and people being on vacation, the dress code is relaxed because of that. When we go out to Fogo de Chao we dress up, when guests visit Le Cellier for dinner management accepts that guests come directly from the park.

Good to know, thanks for the input.
I realize its a tourist-y location, but I'd still like to look nice.
