What do you wear to dinner?

[Gomer]

I guess it depends on what a person is comfortable in. I work from home a lot, so my dress code there is jeans/shorts and a T-shirt - people wonder why I even bother - why not work in sweats. Because then I don't feel "at work" I guess. But I am just as comfortable in a jacket and tie. As long as there is climate control, I don't find putting "nice' clothes to be uncomfortable. I guess many people do.

Dress codes at restaurants (and in general) were created to keep the riff raff out of high society establishments. Created so you immediately spot someone who "doesn't belong". I kind of like the idea of everyone being on equal footing in Disney world without having to mark your pedigree. But again, I'm a strange guy with strange opinions. I don't expect all to agree.[/QUOTE]

I like that thought. Sort of puts it in a different light.

Yes, which is exactly what I was getting at. Different people are comfortable in different attire based on experience, culture, and a variety of other factors. To be clear, I would meet dress code when I dine in resort signatures. I have no issue dressing up and have to do it regularly for my job. I prefer not to, but I don’t have an issue with it where required. I just don’t really pay attention to or care much about what others are doing. But, that’s just me.

When we eat at signatures I wear a nice sundress and "dressy" sandals and I feel comfortable... not too dressed up but not feeling subconscious about being underdressed. When eating at sit down restaurants in the park I just wear whatever I would usually be wearing in the park (shorts, t-shirt or tank top, running shoes, etc.) I've never noticed anyone really dressed up at any of the sit down restaurants in the parks.

So... I guess my answer is if you're only eating a nice sit downs in the parks then wear whatever you would be most comfortable in going on rides and walking through the park!

The only place on property that actually enforces A dress code mainly is Victoria's and Alberts. We have been to most signatures in the parks and at the resorts and you see everything from shorts, jeans, regular shirts/tshirts, collared shirts, dress pants, dresses etc etc. A very mixed bag. As long as you don't have a shirt or pants full of unsightly holes etc you are fine. We have gone more on the dressier side at the resort signatures in the past and frankly we almost felt out of place believe it or not.
So yes sometimes we may change if we have time but other times most of them we freshen up if we go back to the room and just wear what we did to the parks which usually is jeans and a shirt, or change into similar items. Frankly I'm on vacation so I want to be comfortable and not feel obligated to get completely dolled up after a very long day at the parks.

I know many opinions have already been shared, but I'll go ahead and share mine: I tend to dress up a little more than most in the parks anyway, so I just wear what I'm already wearing to dinner. I prefer dresses/skirts to pants, especially in the summer. If I were going to a nicer table service restaurant at a resort I might plan ahead to change into something nicer.
