Should WDW have a dress code?

[tigsmom]

Isn't there already a dress code in effect?

• No vulgar t-shirts.
  
• No shirts, no shoes, no service.
• No Halloween masks allowed.
• No dressing up in fur suits as to resemble a character

That's it! Since there is already a dress code the poll is a moot point.

Yes to an extent. I hat going to a nice restaraunt in WDW like California Grill only to see a bunch of slobs in sandals and tang tops.

That attire is fine for the parks, the only thing I would ban from the parks are offensive shirts. WDW is not the place for a Bush is a Nazi shirts, Also I saw some jerk in DHS last year with a Nazi Symbol on there shirt. People with the politcal shirst and outragous shirts should be made to turn it inside out or asked to leave imo.

Back in the 1950's and 60's and maybe 70's, there WAS a "unknown" dress code for going to a theme park. There's a reason why we see all those concept art pieces with people in suits, jackets, and mini skirts. The reason? It was customary to dress nice to go to a theme park. While it's a "retro" style tradition, I certainly think that it's nice, sets a better atmosphere, and in the end, might lead to a better product. Put people in nice clothes, they will behave in accordance to that "role". I wonder if Maintenance wouldn't be such a big deal if this were in place. :lookaroun

So....while I would like a Dress Code (more extensive than the one we have, obviously) for those reasons....I wouldn't want one for the other obvious reasons. I prefer not to sweat my skin off in EPCOT.:lol:

And FYI....This tradition is still VERY much a part of Japan's culture. That should tell you a little bit more about why the upkeep and management in TDL and TDS is so stellar.

Yes, I would prefer a (voluntary) dress code. We do not need to return to the 1950's, to all those lovely pictures of people dressed their sunday best - dresses for the women, casual suits for men.

But I personally enjoy it when people devote some some attention to dress, when they aren't dressed too 'informal'.

Nobody will stop anybody from dressing up a bit themselves.

You are correct, sir.

There is a dress code but as someone else stated, it needs to be enforced.
Comfortable and reasonable dress (bikini tops and bottoms are not acceptable for theme park wear). Vulgar or drug related T-shirts should not be acceptable (in my humble opinion). I'm not suggesting the "thought police here, but come on people, we all have seen or thought, what is that person thinking about, dressed like that. :brick: :hammer:

They need to add that if you bend over and I can see butt cheeks, you can't come in. I've seen too many women in skirts or shorts that were WAY too short.

Call me odd, but I would like that. :lookaroun:lol: It would make everything seem VERY classy. :lol:

100% no.
This is jsut another way of a group of people trying to control another group and this isn't the first time with this crap. I saw this on old news reels from the 1940's but they were hard for me to understand because the narration was in German.

I don't quite understand why some people would want to force others to dress in a manner that they wouldn't otherwise dress in. I'm all for keeping vulgarity and butt cheeks hidden, but why in the world would you want someone to not be happy and comfy in shorts and a t-shirt?

 

[DisneyMusician2]

I would be curious what the OP meant by dress code. There is a big difference between not allowing objectionable words on shirts and trying to say what types of clothing guests would be allowed to wear into the parks.

When you are in a nice restaurant like the Cali grill or Yats mans you should dress with some class not like some of the slobs that com in in shorts a t-shirt and sandals.

 

[Matt and Kelly]

No, I don't believe there should be a dress code because it's a place to relax and be yourself and carefree on a getaway. I'd hate to be told what to or not to wear when I pay big bucks to enjoy myself.

BUT

I do think people should be more mindful of their choice of dress... like booty shorts and a tube top on people who, lets just say, shouldn't be wearing that...period.

Completely agree. I don't think they need to enforce anything more than what is currently in place, but at the same time, people need to have enough common sense to know what is appropriate.

Ah, I was interpreting the thread a bit differently. If I'm in the park, I'll dress however is comfortable for the day. If you're eating at a resort, however, I can see how the general consensus may be swayed in that direction.
Still, even then it's a big ol' "maybe" from me. If I'm leaving from chilly South Dakota in the Winter, I'll be wearing shoes and long khaki pants on the plane. If I'm leaving in the Summer, though, I'm not going to pack shoes and long pants just to appease some peoples' sense of entitlement. Especially given the weight restrictions on baggage.

 

[disneynut4u]

to some extent, yes. I'm slightly overweight. I try to cover what I have. I do NOT want to see any woman, thin or otherwise, try to show too much breast (sorry to some of you guys), fat rolls bulging out of tank tops - front & back, etc. I'm all for comfort, but some things need to be covered up!

Yea in the parks where what you want as long as it is not offensive but I can't stand when people come to a nice restaraunt dressed like they were in the parks all day, people should show a little more class.

Exactly, I saw several people at the California Grill dressed like slobs. I guess I was just raised a little differently. :shrug:

Unfortunately, I have seen those types of t-shirts in the parks before.

 

[trr1]

I vote yes and no to a dress code
there have been people who think that this is appropriate at parks but
then you see Teenagers who have there pants around their knees with the underware showing that just makes me want to either pull them up or
pull them off

 

[sublimesting]

Hmmm... a dresscode you say? Such as in school? That would mean girls in Catholic schoolgirl gear then? Then color me tickled pink that's a big yes-a-roonie from me.

Isn't that taking it a bit far?


That's a uniform...this is just looking nice.
