Fans call on Disney to ban raunchy shirts from parks after viral post

Remember when the parks first opened and people dressed in their Sunday best? Another place and time. As society declines economically and culturally, so do norms and appropriateness.

I don't expect people to be wearing a suit and tie or formal dresses to WDW, but I think some modesty should be in order, even if you are someone who normally doesn't dress like that.

Some guests aren't stupid. One could be stopped and get a free $30 or more T shirt out of the deal when a cast member gives them a replacement one. There was a girl that posted a video about it when she purposely dressed like trash.

Usually you are told to turn it inside out

They both have long sleeved shirts tied around their waists.....perhaps the offending shirts were covered up while entering the park.

If you go to Epcot on NYE, some are dressed like going to a nightclub, high heels, miniskirts, shirt and tie , etc. The music and dance options are amazing and the best place to get down on the dance floor is outside China with its dragon shooting out real hot flames above the dance area packed with bodies making the area feel even hotter in temperature.

When Disneyland first opened , Sunday best attire and pay to use toilets.

The girl was dressed in a very revealing top. She got a free T shirt out of the deal.

i was at epcot today & saw 1 girl with a half tank top practically busting out of it & someone else who’s shorts were so short, things were a bit cheeky. made me wonder how they got in the park dressed like that.

We always see someone dressed like that. We even saw a family at MK once during the MNSSHP dressed as the Incredibles. The issue was that mom and dad should have worn thicker underwear because they may as well have been wearing body paint. Eww.

I'm not a kid and frankly I'm not sure I understand what it means. I think there is more ways then one to interpret that and it is nowhere near as explicit as others I have seen that didn't require you to be part of a "culture" to understand it.

No. No other ways to interpret it. It is urban slang meaning exactly what it means. The vast majority of people know what it means. I am 49 years old and I know exactly what it means.

Oh those of you with dirty minds. I’m certain this completely innocent couple came up with decorative t shirts for their trip which were meant to be interpreted as … I gave her the Disney trip and hers as… I wanted the Disney trip. What else could it be??? Now, now… don’t go there. It’s entirely inconceivable that the Disney “D” could have been used for something else.

I'm sure it could be used for something else, but I don't understand why everyone's thoughts went straight to hell. Honestly, what you just described is exactly how I read it. He gave her a trip to Disney, She wanted a trip to Disney. I understand why everyone's mind is down to gutter level at this point in time, but really if I had seen that, out of the context of this thread, that is exactly what I would have thought it meant and I'm still not convinced that it isn't that simple. If it was intended to be offensive they should have made it much more obvious.

I guess some who are offended have never seen a high school wrestling match. Those boys competing are wearing those extremely tight outfits ( wrestling singlets ) showing a little too much..

Well, good for you. I'm 73 and have been all over the world. I'm not a recluse but, I also do not have my mind focused on the lower extremities. Nothing about that would have led me to that conclusion, however maybe I've seen things far more explicit and even if I did have that as a first thought, it wouldn't have offended me because it was so vague. Personally I think that any reaction to that is telling about the viewers mind set and totally immature. Did anyone talk to that couple and ask them what that message was about. Maybe they weren't as worldly as yourself.

Angry Disney fans are calling for the Mouse House to ban inappropriate garb after a couple was photographed wearing sexually suggestive T-shirts at Disney World.

Yeah. This is making the rounds. Is it a play on something else? Sure. But the "D" in this instance is "Disney". The problem isn't them. It's what's in your head.

 

[JohnD]

I'll never forget the time a woman was brought on stage to participate in Hoop Dee Doo wearing a t-shirt that just said MILF in block letters. The performers spotted it once she was already on stage and rushed to get her into some kind of costume that I don't think was supposed to be part of the scene. And who can forget the Gay Days classic, "Butt Pirates of the Caribbean"? Not to be confused with the other Gay Days classic, "Country Bears," which I think is actually pretty clever and amusing rather than raunchy.

Why is that a problem? Clearly it means Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.

They knew.

It is a direct reference to a very well known urban slang. Why is everyone so invested in their defense?

Yeah, it was like that only a little more.

Not that I think it’s appropriate for the parks, but I can’t stop laughing at Butt Pirates of the Caribbean

Just here for the Booty ?

Right!? It's not that some people "have their minds in the gutter" and others have fixed their gaze on holier things. It's simply that some people are up on current slang, and others are not. Giving someone "the D" is as well-known and familiar a euphemism to young or culturally savvy people as "T&A" is to the older folks (or to fans of the "cleaner" version of A Chorus Line). In fact, you don't need to look far, or in any unsavory places, to find an official definition: dictionary.com defines "the D" as "d**k, p***s, or sex generally."

In contrast, "the D" has never, ever been popularly used to refer to a Walt Disney World vacation (although to be fair, it has been used to refer affectionately to Detroit, so if the couples' shirts had pictures of the Henry Ford Museum instead of Cinderella Castle, there might be a cogent argument to be made, but that's not what we've got here). If you disagree, by all means Google the term -- but be sure your virus software is fully updated, and be prepared to get an eyeful of what "the D" actually means in American popular culture.

I mean, I don't think there would be many kids who would understand what that means, but I still don't think that people should be wearing that kind of thing in the parks, or wearing revealing clothing. For a while now, WDW has been one of the last bastions of wholesome fun & entertainment, an oasis from alot of the more adult/raunchier stuff. WDW needs to remain that oasis. Don't get me wrong, some of the things I enjoy outside of Disney are violent, or adult, or raunchy-but I don't want that at WDW. If I want innuendos and scantily clad women, there is an abundance of it outside of WDW property.

Would you please list them just so ............................................... I can avoid accidentally going to these establishments.
