Should WDW have a dress code?

[WDW Vacationer]

I voted yes.


Now I don't mean a uniform but appropriate clothing.


You will see me in Jean shorts,khaki shorts,a NICE Disney shirt or a polo shirt. MAYBE a nice pair of athletic shorts,all depends on clothes washing-how that works out.

It's not fancy,but nice looking.

Not shirts or shorts with holes,not wrinkled,NICE.



It does not have t

 

[Tidbit]

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

They need to add to the list......
Wear pants that fit.--I don't want to see your boxers!
No sweatpants with words on the butt unless you are under the age of 5.
Just so no to spandex & tube tops.

I voted Yes. And I agree with the standard "code" they have in place now. I don't believe that we can go forward with anything anymore structured than what they have now, not in this day and age. Yet I voted yes on principal. I believe we as a people should resolve this issue ourselves. I am disappointed at the "slobification" of the American people's way of dressing. I look at photos of when WDW and DL first opened and love how people made an event of going, dressing their best.
Now I realize that comfort if the main ingredient in today's dressing, however our standards of comfort are quickly declining.
My family and I always dress comfortable yet appropriate at the parks and as nice as we can. I'm not saying dresses or 3 piece suits, but you know what I mean.
For the amount we put out for our WDW vacation we want to make it special and memorable. This is not to say that we are apposed to t-shirt, jeans, or shorts. But if t-shirt, jeans or shorts are worn we use our best.

OK, I may get some flack for this, but it's my 2 cents.
Off my soap box now.

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.

Right on. Reminds me of "Business Casual". Business Casual. Pfft.

You know who also wore a suit?










































































Hitler.

Absolutely. And that is a perfectly reasonable dressing code.

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.

Hey, I missed this post the first time. Was written at the same time I wrote mine a minute later.

Yes, great points above. :wave:

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Absolutely. And that is a perfectly reasonable dressing code.

I would also like to add no bikini tops as your only shirt.

Well.... that depends on the individual woman.

 

[KeithVH]

I can't find it but I'm sure someone else can remember and find a prior thread that was akin to this one. Except in the other thread people decided to include pictures from prior visits of just what they meant by inappropriate clothes. I also seem to remember it got very ugly very fast when posters commented the people in the pics and why they were dressed the way they were.

Where is that thread?:goodnevil

We also need to add to the list:

1)Bra's MUST be worn with a white shirt ladies. (I really don't need to see ALL of you).

2)Black underwear with white shorts is a no-no

3) I also don't want to see your thong hanging out of the top of your ultra low rise short shorts.

Absolutely. I 100% agree with you. The first word I thought of when I saw this thread was "slobification." I don't care if pjs are more comfortable - they belong at home. Wear appropriate clothing when you are in public. It doesn't have to be a ballgown, but please, put a little consideration into how you look.

 

[blueboxdoctor]

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.

well said good sir, well said.
but a dress code to a place where people pay to go to is quite ridiculous. i can't believe that people are saying to wear all nice non-wrinkled clothes, they're in a suitcase, they're not gonna remain perfect. and if someone doesn't wear "proper" clothes to a place of dining then it just gives everyone else a good laugh. what's next? is someone going to say that anyone wearing clothes from hot topic or any other store along those lines can't wear those clothes, are skinny jeans going to be banned (grant it if you're over a certain age/weight it just looks horrible).
personally, when I go I dress pretty well considering it's vacation.

good thing no one went as a far as to say that every guy has to have their hair cut to a certain lenght, if that was true I'd be banned from Disney. XD

There is a difference between offending someone's personal taste, and offending against societal norms.

This is the US. We're modest and prudish, generally speaking, as a society. Women aren't supposed to let their hang out (or show through their shirts as if they're transparent). NOBODY is supposed o let their cracks hang out. Swear words, ______-related, drug-related and violence-related graphics or sayings are generally frowned upon. These are the things that should be restricted in a US-based public place.

On the flip side, we ALL have in our own minds the way we'd like to see certain types of people dress. Saying that plus-size people shouldn't be allowed to wear tight shorts and tee-shirts is just a personal opinion. If that person complies with my paragraph above, they're only offending the eyes of those who don't like seeing fat people in little clothes. Seeing a set of female n!pples through a wet white tee-shirt........oh, sorry, got to thinking about it for a second.....anyway, seeing that is something that our society has deemed inappropriate. It's "offensive to all".

And to those who think shorts and a tee-shirt isn't nice enough for Disney World....have you ever actually been there during the 9 months of the year where sweat runs down every vertical seam in your body? You couldn't PAY me to wear a suit, or even long pants, to WDW most times of the year. Heck, I only take one pair of jeans when we go in January - sort of a defiance "I'm going from Indiana to Florida, damn it! I'm wearing shorts for the first time in 4 months!"

Yeah, that's the only real inconvenience....The heat. I hate it.:lol:

If shorts were'nt allowed at WDW, the place would be empty, I don't think banning shorts is what this idea of a dress code means...
:lol:

I'd argue that our societal norms are too strict on some things ($exual and nudity) yet too lenient in manners, violence, etc.

Walking in DHS one day my brother and I passed a woman wearing a tight white (sprayed on) shirt with no bra. The "girls" were clearly fake as they were holding themselves up on their own. I was surprised she was allowed in the park - you could see right through the shirt (it left nothing to the imagination)! I guess she was happy with her b00b job and wanted to show it to the world!?!

So after seeing that... I would say yes we need some sort of dress code. Some people need to be told what is appropriate and what is not!!!

 

[wdwaddict71]

Yes, it should have a dress code..not saying you should have to dress formally, but you shouldn't be walking around dressed like a skank or trashy.(ie shirts should be required..)

There is a site called People of Walmart..has all these people with waldrobe malfunctions on it. Too funny..I thinking of starting one called People of WDW.

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.

So dress code = Nazi?

Let me tell you a little story. It's about people on the internet that like to compare things to Nazis.

They are idiots.

The National Socialist party blatantly persecuted people based on a variety of factors, the very least of which was their dress. They went on and murdered 6 million Jewish people based on the simple fact that they were Jewish. They started a war that cost the lives of 1 out of every 10 people in Central Europe during that time and participated in a larger global conflict that killed between 60 and 70 million people, or 1 out of every 25 people alive in the world.

Disney could hire cast members with the specific purpose of punching babies in the face and it wouldn't even touch what the Nazis did.
