Dress Code

You should go visit the beaches in Rio. In movies they make you think everyone in Rio looks like they should be on Americas Next Top Model.. the reality is that they have an abundance of people that could play the roles of mom and dad on Rosanne... Now add in the fact that they don't have as prude of an outlook as Americans and you have a recipe for some very interesting sights cropping up in your photos. I recall my favorite was the woman that no one was sure about whether she was wearing a bikini bottom or thong because the amount of fat hanging down made it impossible to tell... And while you might think not like the sight of it and think they should ban some of it, after a while you get used to it and don't even really notice unless you start looking for it.
I just threw up in my mouth.

There is a dress code, but I always see women in swimsuits and shorts or skirt.
I constantly have this battle with my DW. She loves to take in the sun, so wants to wear a Bikini in the parks. More than once I have had to drag her away from a poor CM who has asked her (politely) to cover up.

She's on notice from me for this trip to play by the rules, or it will be the last trip for her!

So, let me get this straight, the theme parks are "family parks," but the water parks are not?

Has anyone ever seen Princess Jasmine?

Or Ariel?

Or Tarzan?

Oh, wait, is it because these outfits are not "swimsuits" per se, they're okay, but if they were designed with flowery patters or colorful stripes, then they would be "swimsuits" and thus inappropriate in a theme park? (Of course, Ariel's bikini top IS intended for swimming.) Or is it because these examples are each Disney characters, and thus exempt from societal judgments as to the appropriateness of dressing in public? Shouldn't characters, if anything, be held to higher standards as they are in the public eye, with particular appeal to families and children?

Or is this just a matter of the blind leading the blind?

At exactly what distance from the resort pools does a swimsuit become inappropriate in the presence of others? 10 feet? 100 feet? 1,000 feet?

I can't believe that Disney would allow for these characters to set such bad examples o_O ...OR, there's nothing inherently "wrong" with it.

When my kids where little I always packed a suit for the water sprinkler at Epcot and for Donald Ducks Boat (Before the New Fantasyland). Finding the little areas where they could play and have fun for a few minutes was always there favorite... :)

This is what I found on the internet regarding Disney dress code:

Disney World Guest Appearance Guidelines
Disney World reserves the right to exclude visitors to their gated attractions who wear clothing that could create a distraction. This policy is in effect at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Pleasure Island and Disney Quest.

Examples of unacceptable attire includes:
  • Clothing displaying offensive messages/language
  • Adult costumes or clothing that can be viewed as a costume (children under age 10 are excluded)
  • Clothing made with offensive material, (ie transparent)
  • Clothing that is excessively torn
  • Clothing which exposes inappropriate portions of the body such as string bikini tops, G-strings, bikini bottoms, etc.
  • Guests wearing wedding attire are discouraged from entering the Theme Parks.
All Disney Theme Park guests are required to wear shirts and shoes at all times. Swimsuit tops are allowed when worn with other appropriate clothing.

Disney's Pleasure Island, Disney Quest, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon have other criteria in place which may vary from the general appearance guidelines. Depending on the venue and event, variations may be acceptable.

I dont even walk to/from the resort to the pool without covering up my bathing suit, even when it's wet. Little kids all over the place, they dont need to see all that!! lol
I applaud you stance, but at the same time, those kids are at the pool as well, so should you cover up when you swim or sunbathe or drink a soda; the list goes on.

OK, so you can show too much skin or get married, got it! :rolleyes:

It seems to me, judging by this list that Disney's issue is with the area of flesh from below the breast line to just above the pubic area...

I do find it all rather silly, given the temperate climate of the region, but I also think it is important to respect the rules, even if the are dumb to me.

Well, there are places some things are appropriate and places some things aren't. It's sad that rules have to be made to remind people of that. Honestly, Disney's rules are not that restrictive.

I would expand that area just a wee bit.
