Checks can be made payable to me - I'll see that the money is appropriately distributed.

Only if people would dress like they did in the early days... Women and Men all wore nice button down shirts, slacks and shoes... My thing is, I know how much I spend to go to WDW being a DVC member, and I know how much the resorts cost. How can these people after paying over $2500 for a trip dress the way they do?
I have been known to sport the shorts/jacket faux pas... I always take a December trip and the days can hit mid 80's. I refuse to go back to the resort, so I buy a long sleeve shirt/hoodie to get me thru the night. A few years back it was about 40 degrees in the evening. BRRRR...

All of my clothes are outdated. But I resent being called fashion challenged. The correct term is "cheap."

Let me guess - you don't have young kids?

Really, how is having a laugh at the expence of others any different then what they were doing?
Oh yes, I forgot that that makes it ok to ridicule others.
The only difference between this thread and those kids is that they had the guts to do it to that womans face. This is where bullying starts, it's just to bad more people don't speak up against it until someone commits suicide. I'm done with this thread, I've said my piece. Others can speak up or just let it continue.

Last February, I brought my 73 year old friend on his first WDW trip. He's a nice old guy but VERY eccentric.
He's always been a stickler about his wardrobe and being a child of the 40's and 50's, never got over dressing up for every occasion. The man dresses up to go to WalMart and Home Depot so dressing up for Disney was essential.
He wore (as usual) a light colored, button down dress shirt, dark slacks, black dress shoes and a black fedora. If he had a beard, he would have looked like an Orthodox Jew (who always wear their best at Disney as well).
Meanwhile, I was wearing shorts, a T shirt and a baseball cap.

Let's see.
1. They formulated a direct attack against someone. I wrote a satirical "sketch" that was lighthearted.
2. There's was meant to hurt. Mine was aimed at making us laugh, even if at ourselves.
3. They expected to cause pain. I hoped that there wouldn't be hypersensitive people who overreact to satire.
Again,if you don't like this thread, file a report and move on. No one is forcing you to be here. No one. Additionally, no one is claiming that they are being bullied, except you. If you think that I am an unacceptable excuse for a human, place me on your ignore list. I am not here for your amusement, and it is regrettable that you have chosen to take a very lighthearted and satirical thread and attempted to hijack it. Please, report my actions and move on.

My apologies. I did not properly read your small print. I'm glad to see that you are moving on. I hope that there is peace between us despite a disagreement.

And you don't even have the advantage of my humorous face. I'll have to wear the loafer's instead. Oops, there I go having a laugh at my expense.

Well the shorts/jacket look is pretty famous in Wisconsin. If that is not allowed in the parks Cheese heads should start to worry.

Just your zombie face. Oh wait - wrong thread.
I used to rock the pack. Not that it makes it OK, but I kept almost forgetting my bag on rides and needed something attached to my body. What's worse - it was a free one from Disney for booking with my Amex. Yes - I was old enough to HAVE an Amex but apparently not old enough to know better. There - that feels better. Feel free to point and laugh.
Many people sport this look in January here in South Florida. I have just always found it to be an ironic choice of clothing. I knew someone years ago who would turn down the temperature on her a/c and turn on the ceiling fan over the bead, only to wrap herself tightly in a blanket. Her husband always laughed about it, as did she.
I had considered that item for the list, but I know that it is a vulgar term in England, so I thought it best to avoid offending or confusing others. Shh...

Rsox, too funny! Love the post. 
I could think of quite a few for women too. My personal favorites are shoe related... there is no reason on earth anyone should need to wear Uggs in Florida and yet, I have seen it quite a few times. The same goes for platform flip flops. Flip flops are already pretty terrible for your feet so why for the love of Mickey would you add 3 inches of height to them?
This is about the biggest overreaction I've seen on the forum, and that's saying something. The original post was clearly meant in a jesting/satirical way. And to call it the equivalent of kids cussing out an old women and making fun of her for everything from her weight to her family to her job for 10+ minutes is ridiculous. The post was about fashion sense...something that a lot of people don't have. When you wear a bright yellow several times too small tracksuit that is see through so everyone can see your thong (think someone has a picture of that in one of the trip threads), you are pretty much asking for it. And again, the post was clearly all just in jest.

Also, never wear those Vibram shoes. Sweating + friction totally wrecked my feet and they draw a lot of attention. I stick with Chucks for comfort and a classic look, except for the 24 hours at MK where I wore a pair of those Disney flip flop things and occasionally being the only one in the resort rocking Clarks Desert Boots.

What about casual boat shoes rsoxguy? Mine our more worn in a bit lighter color? Are these acceptable? I should mention too NO SOCKS!

Those have been fine forever and a day. However, they would become a source of horror if worn with shorts and socks together. Thank you for your interest in making Walt Disney World a more aesthetically pleasing place.

Sperry's are very "in" right now, plus they're wicked comfortable. I can't speak for Rsoxguy, but unless you're wearing them with ya know a pair ow sweatpants I think they usually look goodWhat about casual boat shoes rsoxguy?
