So, as a Floridian and frequent visitor at WDW, I have shaken my head more than a few times and said a silent prayer of fashion common sense for some that you see traversing the parks. I am not talking about logos, trends, or even matching, but the things a few people think are acceptable to wear in public just because they are on vacation.
Here are my pet peeves:
The "I am not used to being in polite company" look: horrific faded wife-beater tank top with faded exercise shorts that keep riding up in certain places. :sad2:
Then there is the "Britney Spears wears it, so I should, too." This is the too-tight, stomach hanging out shirts, on people who really should not be allowing their stomach to hang out. And in case you think I am above that group, I have had two children and my tummy has not seen the light of day since! ;)
And the last, and probably the worst of them all:
THE BIKINI TOP WITH THE TEENY TINY SHORTS. I don't care if it's hot! It's not okay!! It's not your opportunity to get a tan!! Shame on you!! :scared1:
So what do you think??!! What have you witnessed? Have you had to distract your children so they didn't see something very un-Disney? ;)
Do tell!!

3 years ago on our trip we were sitting for the parade and the man across the street from us was wearing workout shorts and no underwear :scared1: lets just say it was all hanging out and he didnt' seem to care. :confused3 :sad2:
I just shake my head at the woman that wear dresses or skirts to the park and high heels or not comfy shoes :cool1: like it is a fashion show. princess: not a theme park...then complain when they have to sit for the parade. :rolleyes2

How about tight jeans with 3 inch heals. I understand people want to dress for dinner sometime but even if your just walking from the entrance to one of the restaurants in WS it's close to a mile. Put on some flats, Please!!!!

I just got back a few days ago and a few of things that I saw that just drove me crazy was the women in heels.. I just dont get it.. :confused3 .. I know my feet were killing me in tennis shoes and crocs and cant imagine how they felt at the end of the day.. and secondly the women/girls who wear the tanktops and/or spagetti strap shirts and then the bra strap hangs out.. it looks nasty..

Last year we saw some young people roaming around with SWEATSHIRTS on! We also saw a few with SWEATPANTS (some were yoga pants, but they have to be pretty warm).
This was June and it was very hot. We're from Louisiana and used to the heat and it was almost unbearable to us. We could tell that a lot of these people were from more northern locales....I just don't know how they could stand it.
I noticed a lot of the Japanese and European tourists tend to "dress up" more than we do. That's nice...but it seems awfully hot and uncomfortable to roam around a theme park all day in heels and dress clothes. We had a European couple get on the boat to MGM one morning with us. They both had on suits! She had on a dark suit (long pants and jacket) made out of something like polyester (you know that's hot) and a very dressy (silky) shirt. She also had on some of those 3 inch heels. We saw them later (in the heat of the day) walking around the park!?! :confused3
I also don't understand the women who pack purses. Sure, a lot of them are very nice handbags....but they're still very uncomfortable to tote around all day.

Yes, I always feel sorry for the poor British who come over totally unprepared for our weather. They have on Nike silky shorts, black socks pulled up HIGH, and seriously ugly tennis shoes. They just sweat and sweat and sweat.
I was in line for Everest 2 weeks ago and there was a teenage girl there..with her mom...and a homemade shirt that said "Must be this high to ride." I thought that was a wee bit tacky. :blush:

The "Rude" t-shirts. My DD is mastering her reading skills and there were a number of times we had to stop her and change the subject.

If people dressed for comfort rather than dressing as if they were going to a nightclub, they would be a lot happier at the end of the day.

I like dressing up at EPCOT if I am going there for dinner at night. On my last trip, my one gf wore heels the entire time. She thinks they are more comfortable. I guess if you wear heals everyday and you do a lot of walking, esp in NYC, you get used to them and your feet feel better in heals then flats.

I personally don't care if someone has dressed uncomfortably, that's their own fault! ;) What I do mind is the dress code not being followed. From the Disney World website:
What to Wear
Proper dress is required at all Walt Disney World Theme Parks. Shirt and shoes must be worn at all times. At the Water Parks, swim attire with rivets, buckles or exposed metal is not permitted on the water attractions.
The bikini top is definatley one of my biggest peeves! Who thinks that is acceptable??!! :sad2:

I just have to say that i wear heels every day all day (i'm only 4'10) so i am used to them, believe it or not i get hurt feet in flats. I sometimes wear gym shoes in the parks, but i am in heels ALOT of the time. As long as i'm not complaining or holding my family back from anything i don't think there is anything wrong with it.
I can't stand the bikini tops or sports bras..whether you can wear it or not, just please don't it's a family place :)

Ever go some where, store, mall, where ever, and run into the same person/people all over the place? That happens to me alot! At WDW 2 years ago DH&I kept seeing this one guy and his wife (?GF?) every where. His shirt, sans sleeves and kneckband, was a company t-shirt with their logo on the back--> Other peoples ----is our business!! Except it actually used the S word. As we dined "with" them at dinner I heard him tell another couple he had his own sewer business. The park is crawling with children! Very not OK!

I have to second the wearing heels...my feet love heels and I wear them when we go to dinner at any WDW rest...I pretty much wear sneaks or sandals during the day at the parks- but just because they may hurt your feet, I don't think it's "inappropriate" for others to wear.

As I rule I don't pay too much attention to what others are wearing. But I can remember one warm day in Epcot when a group of grade school aged children were having a ball running in and out of the fountain that squirts water straight up from the sidewalk in a random way. The children were having a great time, but most of them were wearing only their underwear, as their parents had partly undressed them so as not to get their clothing wet.
Since the children were wet, and what little they had on was also wet, ... well .... I just hope no one was taking pictures of that scene.
Not very wise of the parents, in my opinion.

I think the thing I noticed most on my last trip down was the lack of undergarments. I dont think I have ever seen that many women without a bra. :eek: And im not just talkin about the small chested, I'm sure there were lots of them I didn't notice. Even from a comfort point of view I don't get it. I'm a DD and mine goes on almost immediatly in the am and doesnt come off till im ready to get in bed. I can't imagine walking around all day without it.

I hate to be the one to say this - but- :stir: does it really matter what anyone else wears? Aside from things that are lewd (nasty messages on shirts or privates hanging out) why does it matter if maybe I wear my clothes tight and aren't a size 2? Not saying that I do- but isn't Disney all about being happy and having a great time? If it makes people happy to wear high heels, flip flops, wife beaters, spandex bike shorts, pants, etc. then why should we complain? I'm not trying to be rude or play devil's advocate here but don't you think this thread is a little mean and reminiscent of high school? What's to say that what I think looks great you may think is horrible? JMHO. princess:

Regarding the almost/not just quite nude people at the park. It's usually for attention and people are going to notice. "No man or woman is an island".
When you live in a society, people are going to react to what they're exposed to.

I don't see anythign wrong with guys wearing tank tops to the park ( wife beater shirts, isn't that what ppl are reffering them as? Not sure cause I never knew them to be called that) anyway I see nothing wrong with it girls wear tank tops Heck, thats all I wear in the summer when out and about outside so my shoulders get tanned! Why is anything wrong with that? I don't get it, Anywho, I don't really pay attention to what ppl in Disney world are wearing because I am there to have fun with my family, not judge people on what thier style of clothing is... I am sure ppl don't have the same taste as me or joe bob down the street... it's a personal thing on what each person likes to wear or feel comfertable in who are we to say it looks stupid or is uncomferable :confused3 :confused3 :smooth:

Actually, I'm surprised he made it that long wearing an expletive on his shirt. As a former cast member, we were supposed to report it to a higher up, then someone would ask that person to either turn their shirt inside out, or they could be escorted out. It is a firm Disney rule that inappropriate shirts are not allowed to be worn in the park as it is not considered appropriate for a family park.
As far as being mean, since I was the OP, I will just say that I really don't care if someone wears high heels or not, I am only surprised. And politically correct or not, I think it's sad that we aren't teaching our kids to dress appropriately and with class, which has nothing to do with money. It has to do with taking care of ourselves and understanding what's appropriate or not. My mother used to wear nice khaki capris and a nice top and her hair always looked nice when we visited Disney. I used to ask her why she didn't dress down more since it was a theme park and a vacation. She explained to me that you dressed nicely because it is part of who you are, not a snobby thing, but out of self respect. She also taught me to dress to your figure. You don't have to be a perfect size 2, but you do need to know what looks great on your body type, and what doesn't flatter you at all. Anyone can be beautiful. Hey, maybe that's why I love to watch "What Not to Wear" on TLC! I am sorry that those lessons aren't being taught much anymore. I don't care if someone wears shorts or a skirt, but it's just common sense to know you should wear a bra with certain tops. Do you HAVE to? No. But it's appropriate. I've seen so many moms have to distract their little sons from staring at certain obvious displays of sexuality. If you want to wear it to other places, fine, but it's selfish to wear it to a family place like Disney. I don't think it takes many braincells to think twice about wearing a string bikini that barely covers much of your breasts when you're running around a park. Couple that with shorts that are welllll below the navel and it's time to start answering my five year olds questions while we wait in line to ride "Small World." I just went with my family to Disneyland Paris this past Christmas. We spent a month in Europe, and I can tell you that Europeans dress much less sloppy than we do. It was eye-opening. They think Americans are awful the way many dress. Is that right or wrong? It just depends on your point of view, I guess.
Obviously, these are just my opinions. Obviously, I have strong ones/ :rolleyes: I truly do not mean to offend anyone, and for me it is simply not about fashion, per se, but common sense at a family place. I don't mean to give the impression I am checking out labels or looking down on others. I've already done high school, I'd hate to think I was giving anyone the impression I was still reliving it. ;)

AES74-
Now I have a little bit more insight on what you meant by starting this thread- not that I agree with it- but I at least see where you are coming from. I do think that young kids (boys and girls alike) do dress a bit more suggestively than I will ever let my kids dress when they are that age, but a large part of me thinks that they don't understand what they are putting out there. Of course it is ultimately up to the parents to decide what is appropriate for their kids. You mention dressing for your size as well and while I think it is a good idea- some people think that certain things look good on them. You might even wear something that you think is ultra flattering and I would think you were out of your mind. So maybe those that aren't dressing their size if you will really think that they are? I've seen plenty of things in my size - and I am an average size person- that I would NEVER wear! Yet- some of my friends can wear the same thing in an even bigger size and look great. I really think it's about attitude. Anyway- I am so off topic here! (sorry!) So let me cut to the chase (well, sort of! :teeth: ) I definitely think you need to take pride in your appearance (my Mom wouldn't even wear sneakers unil about 5 years ago!) but I think everyone has a different definition of what looks good and that's okay. We need everyone to be different. That's what makes us all interesting! So if you see me on your next trip having a ball with my kids and you are dressed like a circus clown wave hello and I will smile and be happy for you because you are enjoying life. :teeth:

I tried to stay out of this conversation, honestly, but I have to jump in with a story from our last trip.
My dh & I were sitting down in the back of the Universe of Energy theater waiting for the Ellen D. show to begin. DH poked me and as I look over at him, I saw, at eye level, a very short white leather skirt. Unfortunately, it was worn by a man who didn't have any underwear on - get the picture and it wasn't pleasant. There is more to the story but probably not necessary to bring up here. CMs saw him and shook their heads but none of them did anything, at least not there.

This is a light-hearted thread. Can we just go with that please? I have seen several threads on this very subject on these boards before, and I don't recall any of them needing to be closed.
Also, no one said that you had to have a perfect body or dress perfectly to go to Disney. What I have read is people expressing their wish for people to dress appropriately.

03-31-2006, 07:10 AM
I don't think anyone's fashion sense needs to be judged and I don't think many are doing that.
I may wonder "why" someone would choose to wear heels in the parks, but to each their own. They aren't my feet! ;) I see some things that I think are tacky but don't you see that everyday?
I did feel a little weird reading some early comments. I dress when we go to dinner. I will wear sandals with a little heal, maybe a casual knit skirt (knee length) certainly no hose and a better top than I would while at the park. Do people think I'm crazy? I just go for dinner, usually at a resort. I always like to dress-up a little for dinner while on vacation. But, after reading a bit, I think most would regard that as OK. If not, oh well, I'm still going to do it. It's a part of my vacation that I like.
I do think some attire is inappropriate though. People should remember Disney is a family place. Let's not expose too much of our bodies. Showing too much breast, tush and what some have seen from men going "commando" with loose shorts is not even tacky it is rude.

I do enjoy the "people watching" aspect of WDW, however, one of the main things I love about WDW is that quite frankly, I just don't have to care what I look like!! Granted, I do still maintain some dignity about myself, but I do tend to just wake up, put my hair in a pony tail and don't even have to think about putting any makeup on! This is something I would NEVER do around home! When in WDW, it just seems that no one cares.......you are there on vacation to have a good time and why worry about appearance. Although I will agree that there is a line to be drawn as far as provacative clothing or lewd t-shirts, etc....... It is a family atmosphere!!!!!

I sometimes wear gym shoes in the parks, but i am in heels ALOT of the time. As long as i'm not complaining or holding my family back from anything i don't think there is anything wrong with it.
I understand this. I have friend that has worn heels everyday for about 20 years and is much more comfortable in them than flats. Aparently, the achilles tendon gets shorter and less flexible after being in the high heels position for so long and the result is real pain when you try to stretch it out in a flat shoe. Wear whatever works for you. Why this would bother anyone else, I can't imagine...

I've seen cutoff shorts on girls that were cut so short, both "cheeks" were hanging out below.
We were at the Little Mermaid show at MGM and a girl in front of us had on very low cut pants. She had to get up and move down a couple seats several times, as people had stopped in the middle of the row. She was a little chubby and the pants were snug and each time she sat down, her pants went almost completely below her butt cheeks, leaving nothing to the imagination. DH and I just looked at each other each time it happened.
I also saw a girl in a very see thru white skirt with thong underwear very much visible.
I am all for comfort in the parks, but it does seem like some things are just not appropriate for a family setting.

At least they're wearing underwear-I never recovered from seeing a brunette in a pair of white cotton trousers (Sorry, pants :teeth: ) who had chosen to go "Commando" ( I'm sure you know this phrase in the U.S-I think i heard it on Friends!) :eek:

I just have to say that i wear heels every day all day (i'm only 4'10) so i am used to them, believe it or not i get hurt feet in flats. I sometimes wear gym shoes in the parks, but i am in heels ALOT of the time. As long as i'm not complaining or holding my family back from anything i don't think there is anything wrong with it.
I'm the same way. I wear heels every day. I'm 5'1 so I kind of look stumpy in sneakers or flats. People look at me funny because I will wear espadrilles to the park.
The last time I was at Disney I wore sneakers the first day and sure enough I got a blister on my heel and my feet were VERY sore. After that I wore my sandals for the rest of the trip and had no problems! I think it depends on what your feet are use to.

AES74, I'm printing off your post about dressing with class and dressing to your body type. I will then give it to my young neices and step-daughter. This is something that should have been said long ago. We just got back from WDW a few weeks ago and I was shocked by the clothes in the parks. Keep in mind that I'm under 30 (barely, but still) and I could not believe the outfits the young girls were wearing. Do parents really think that young girls should be running around in bikinis and sandals? Do teen girls really think it looks good to wear low-rise shorts and a half shirt with their stomach hanging over/out of the top? And I have to say, at the end of the night as we were exiting the park a man walked past us with short shorts and a half-shirt on, my 10 year old DS turned to me and said: "That guy is wearing a half-shirt, I didn't know guys wore half-shirts, that is just wrong!!!" I could only reply that maybe he was from Europe, there was just no other excuse! :rotfl2:

I understand this. I have friend that has worn heels everyday for about 20 years and is much more comfortable in them than flats. Aparently, the achilles tendon gets shorter and less flexible after being in the high heels position for so long and the result is real pain when you try to stretch it out in a flat shoe. Wear whatever works for you. Why this would bother anyone else, I can't imagine...
But this is a problem. Tell my cousin who always wore heels. She has now had multiple operations and still cannot walk flat footed. The Dr. said most of her problems were as a result of her choices in footwear, some was genetic.

Oh that is grose! If I wear heels to the parks my feet kill me, when I was 20 I would do things like this and then ended walking barefoot in Sea world. I learned my lesson and couldn't go to any park next day because my feet were killing me! As long as your conmfortable, the it's fine. I just feel people should dress appropiately at Disney, not walk around looking like a hoochie mama and the like. I dress comfortable, shorts, Tshirt and sandals usually. For dinner at least a couple of times when we eat at our resort I like to dress up. I understand the whole feeling stumpy and short because I'm 5'1", but no way I'm wearing heels to the parks. Some of these posts are so funny!

I have very flat feet, no arch. My feet hurt if I wear flats. When shoes have a heel to them, it changes the way my weight is supported on my feet and they feel much better. You may see me in sandals with heel.
I don't care what anyone wears or doesn't wear. It makes waiting in line more interesting... :rotfl:

wife beater shirts are those white (probably dirty) tank top/muscle type shirts that would normally be worn under a shirt. You can see Kid Rock and guys being arrested on the tv show cops wearing them.

I've been going to a conference the last few years in Orlando. It takes place at the the Gaylord Palms every year starting the day after Easter. Apparently there is a cheeleader's competition at the same location that ends just before Easter, because every year when I show up the hotel is crawling with teenage girls wearing next to nothing. Usually requires the use of peril-sensitive sunglasses. :cool2:
I really wish the schools would review the outfits they are issuing to these girls.

What I hate, not just at WDW but anywhere...is if you are wearing black pant, black shoes PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear black SOCKS! It bugs me to see black pants, WHITE SOCKS and then black shoes! OR Socks with Sandles...kind of defeats the whole point, just wear runners (or a full shoe). just my 2 cents.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the worst sight in the WDW parks. One night while standing around the lagoon waiting for fireworks to begin, DH said he was cold. :cold: He said he'd be right back and for me to wait right where I was. When he returned he was wearing TOILET PAPER from his wrists to his shoulders. He had wrapped his arms "mummy style". Seems he thought that would cut the wind coming off the lagoon! Strange thing...no one seemed to notice. Toilet paper! :rolleyes:

On New Years Day I was in Epcot just about to get on Test Track. There was a group of teenage girls in front of us who IMHO really needed to think again about their outfits! One was wearing a white bikini top (which seemed a little on the small side) with a fur coat over it and then a pair of tiny shorts. Her friend had on tiny white shorts, a white backless top (the kind you might see in a nightclub) but she was wearing black underwear!

If I do my math correctly a 16 year old was born in 1990.....most people wait a year or two to have children, so were married in 1988......these same people dated for two years before they got married so that puts the date at 1986.....Who was the biggest influence on womans dress/style/culture in 1986?....MADONNA!!!!....Kind of makes me wonder what the mothers of theses teenagers were wearing when they attracted their husbands in the first place....TAZ :smooth: :rolleyes1

You don't have to dress like a tramp to attract a husband. Any man like that is a pig anyway! There are alot of very nice clothes for teenagers they don't have to walk around looking like hoochie mama's. I'm 33 and still dress very stylish, but comfortable at WDW. I don't care what anyone wears aslong as they cover their private stuff, it's a family place! I don't want my 6 yr. old DD dressing like some of these girls when she grows up. Anyway I would never dress inappropiately to attract a guy. That is so dumb IMO.

I think that's the issue - there seems to be no such thing as "modesty" these days. My friends tell me I'm a fuddy-duddy - I do have a couple of V-neck shirts, but they show NO cleavage.
I think kids and young adults dress that way only because they were raised thinking that's appropriate - television and magazines do not help at all. It's sad, really. :rolleyes2

That is inappropiate IMO. Why even wear clothes! She would be fine at the beach, boardwalk, or waterpark. I wouldn't wear that even if I had the perfect body. Sundresses are very comfy for the parks for me & DD who will be 6. Nice sundresses though.

I just joined DIS and I found this thread. I think this is hillarious because my mother and I wanted to write a book with each chapter covering a different inappropriate thing that is done at disney including some people's clothing. I sympathize with some of the posts that say they don't really care what people wear but some things are just completely inappropriate; not just in the park but in public in general. I will demonstrate:
3 years ago, while at Epcot just outside of the Rose and Crown I notice a woman. She was wearing a dressy black top with dressy black sandals and...drum role please..... :rockband: a pair of sheer (completely see through) black guazy pants with a black thong underneath. Wait wait it gets better. She was with a man who was wearing gray dress pants and a nice button down shirt. It was about 7pm and they were standing at the reservation counter outside of the Rose and Crown so I assume they were going to dinner and this was her idea of dressing up.
I have to say that I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing certain sandals or dresses or skirts and I think dressing in something a little nicer for dinner is fine but this crossed the line in polite society everywhere.
Do I win? :bounce: Do I win? :Pinkbounc
As a side note I think those skirts, shorts and pants with the words written across the hiney are inappropriate for little girls. I'm 26 so I am not an old prude and I like dressing up and going out but I don't think it is ever appropriate to create a situation where people are invited to read the rear end of a 10 year old or a 16 year old.

I agree, threads like this make me very sad. What's next, "you are simply too ugly to be in the park with me"? "too fat to be in the park with me?" "you should be ashamed of yourself and cover that uglyness/fat up right now so the rest of us don't have to look at your hideousness"?
Moderators?
I do agree some of the "worst dressed" things listed are just plain pet peeves and although they may not be attractive to us, and they're not inappropriate, who cares? you're not wearing it right?
But I do agree with some of the posts, but to me its all about modesty. Even if you weren't in a place filled to the rim with kids, its still nice to have some modesty.

I don't see anythign wrong with guys wearing tank tops to the park ( wife beater shirts, isn't that what ppl are reffering them as? Not sure cause I never knew them to be called that) anyway I see nothing wrong with it girls wear tank tops Heck, thats all I wear in the summer when out and about outside so my shoulders get tanned! Why is anything wrong with that? I don't get it, Anywho, I don't really pay attention to what ppl in Disney world are wearing because I am there to have fun with my family, not judge people on what thier style of clothing is... I am sure ppl don't have the same taste as me or joe bob down the street... it's a personal thing on what each person likes to wear or feel comfertable in who are we to say it looks stupid or is uncomferable :confused3 :confused3 :smooth:
I don't think ppl are referring to tank tops in general for guys, cause some are fine but I think they are referring to the white undershirt tanks for guys, cause they are usually supposed to be worn under another shirt, cause if not they are not themost ideal thing to wear

The absolutely worse thing I've ever seen at Disney (or anywhere else for that matter) was last May in the Boardwalk lobby. This pretty young lady (mid 20's) got on the elevator with me and I had to do a double take. She was wearing a very pretty lacy crocheted dress and nothing underneath it. At least it would have been pretty if it had been lined and she had on any underwear. It was immediately obvious that this blonde was a natural brunette. My first thought was what if I had had my grandkids with me. Of course my GS is just a baby so the only thing he would have thought is 'LUNCH' as he gazed upon her very large dark nipples. I might have had to do some explaining to his elder cousin though. As she confidently got off the elevator everyone (and I mean everyone) turned to look. I thought there is no way that young lady is walking out of here looking like that and made a beeline to the front desk. A few other people had joined me and the young man behind the counter said he would take care of it and went after her. In just a few minutes she was coming back and headed back to the elevator giving the CM an earful as she went. So Disney does enforce the dress code to a certain extent. Either that or it could be because so many people were turning, staring at her, then rushing to the front desk to complain about this girl's almost totally nudity.

Are you talking only the shorts or the little dresses of mesh also? I ask only because I wear a mesh dress over my bathing suit. It's not ONLY because I'm trying to get more coverage, but it's also because of my size - I don't like being in a bathing suit, but if I'm near the pool, I don't want to be fully covered up. I AM talking about the pool area ONLY - NOT walking around like that! :)

I think it is sad and pathetic when girls/women go around showing their bodies no respect like that. I don't care if she's 90 lbs. or 300 lbs. or anywhere in between. Showing that much skin is a cry for attention and a sign of a lck of self respect.
On a similar note, it is equally inappropriate for men to remove their shirts in the parks.
Of course, inappropriate logos are just as bad, if not worse in some cases. Anything that would not be said or shown in a Disney movie should not be allowed in the parks. It's all part of the show. I do not want to see a cartoon of genitalia, an offensive word or a marijuana leaf in WDW. I did see a teen with a shirt that proclaimed "Eatin' ain't Cheatin' " and I am sure it did not refer to her diet. Sad.

I completely agree. I am 104lbs, size 2 and wouldn't even consider showing any skin at WDW. Doesn't matter what size you are, keep it in your clothes.
I even watch my act at PI bacause there are so many young kids around whereas, at home, I would tend to dress slightly more sexy when going out to a club.

It amazes me the varying opinions about dress at WDW.
I do not support offensive wear, or people dressed like bums. And yet some (not all) folks are ok with people coming to the parks as comfortable as they want to be and the rest of us should just keep our noses and our high brow opinions to ourselves.
But then , on other threads, I have been in the minority when I suggest that at least for dinner in the nicer restaurants, it wouldn't be cruel and unusual punishment for people to put on a nice shirt and pair of slacks, etc. When I pose this, I am shish-kabobbed by others who feel hey, this is Disney World, we should be able to wear whatever the heck we want, even if we just came from a park, we look like we just woke up and we stink to high heaven.
Why is it ok to be unkempt in the restaurants, but we get bent out of shape if someone has a little too much skin showing in the parks????

One thing that I hate to see and haven't seen mentioned is the lack of clothes on babies and toddlers. DD and I have been there in June and July when the sun is really blazing down and watched people carrying small babies dressed in nothing but a diaper around in 100 degree heat. These little ones are not only sunburned and hot themselves but in many cases are being carried up against their parents bodies and look about 1/2 unconcious. Are these people crazy?

Personally, I try to dress up for a nice dinner. I always have atleast a nice skirt and shirt or something like that. Although, if I am eating at one of the parks then I end up just wearing what I have on (since I don't usually get a chance to get back at the hotel. I will say that no matter what, i always feel underdressed at Le Cellier or Coral Reef b/c they seem so nice. If I am going to a park only for dinner, though, I do dress up a little. :)
As far as what I wear to the parks... I try to go as comfortable as possible while still trying to look cute. I don't however wear anything that has words accross my booty, or that shows my tummy. It's a personal preference. Tank tops and stuff is fine but IMO please don't just wear your bikini top...you wouldn't just walk around in a bra would you? I have a great body image when it comes to my "upper womanlies" and I still wouldn't be parading them like that for all to see. It just drwas negative attention.

I mean, I don't care if you are in Disney or Walmart, there are just some people that should have that covered up. Im not too fond of the young girls, either, who have all that hanging out too. Fortunately, my girls see that and they see how tacky it is and they think it looks awful.

Thats was my DS calls the girls in the lowriders and cropped shirts that DO NOT belong in the lowriders and cropped shirts. (their body fat hanging over their pants looks like the top of a muffin billowing over the muffin paper)
Yeah yeah yeah....no one is saying it is gross to be fat (I'm overweight myself!) Many large women dress beautfully in the parks. But it is gross to let it hang out of your clothes. The "I'm on vacation and want to be comfortable argument does not apply here, it is just as if not more comfortable to wear a shirt that covers your stomach. To all my plus size (and even just a little plus) sisters out there----Wearing skinny girl clothes does not make you look like a skinny girl! It makes you look gross. Dress to your size and you will look nice.
I also can't believe how young girls don't care if their bra straps are showing!! When I was a teen (not tooo long ago) that was considered the most embarrassing thing ever! They wear spagetti strap tanks made for the not well endowed even if they are well endowed and just put any old bra (not even a strapless) under. YUCKY! I have also seen high - cut thongs where the thong straps come way above the low-riders.
This is all just a taste issue, not an economic one....there is just no excuse these days...nice cotton mens golf shirts can be purchased at Target for $4.00 on sale. When I was a kid, you had to have a little money to dress nice...but there is just no excuse anymore....wife beaters are underwear! put a shirt on!

Regarding the bra straps... mine do show. Even if I wear a tank with built in bra or whatnot it is not enough support. What I do try to do is geta bra that matches the tank in color (if it's a pink tank then I wear a pink bra, etc.) That way it doesn't look very awkward.

Ok, mine would too, that is why I don't wear a tank. However...if you just love them and don't want to give them up - Victoria's Secret has a bra with clear see-through (plastic) straps...i think that looks a little nicer.

In FL it's almost required to wear tanks (I know my thing says KY but I'm a FL girl). I've been wearing them since I was a little girl. :)
I wish I could wear the plastic strap bras. I think they are so cute! Unfortunately I have really sensitive skin and I get a rash from where the plastic touches it (it's because of the sweat, etc). Another thing I try to do is wear a bra that goes exactly under the tank strap. (I'm talking the thin strap ones here. It's obviously not a problem with the wider strapped ones)

We were in Animal Kingdom on the 4th of July a few years ago, and there was a woman covered from head to toe in a black burkah-type thing. She was evidently from an extremely modest foreign country. Even her hands were covered with black gloves, the head scarf, you get the picture. Meanwhile, I was dying from the heat and humidity, wearing my shorts and tank top.
One more comes to mind was a group of teenage girls wearing panty hose under their shorts. I know panty hose makes your legs look nice, but it was 90 degrees! I was getting itchy just looking at them.

any shorts/pants that have printing across the bum...TRASHY!! IMO of course...and it's a problem b/c my soon2b step daughter has begun to read and so she'll be walking around reading people's rear ends and saying "What does SEXY mean?" Or "what does FLIRT" mean...ew. It's so gross and I'm so disturbed by the trend of very young children's clothing and even tween clothing that have "bottom message" pants and shorts. Hades will freeze over before any kiddo of mine walks out of the house with JUICY across her rear end! I'm 26 and my mother would wear me out if I ever walked around in something like that! :rotfl:
this thread is fun...people need to relax and take it in the spirit I believe it was intended! :wizard: princess:

I usually wear shorts but this year I'm wearing those bohemian crinkly cotton skirts with tank tops. These skirts are actually more comfortable than shorts-breezier,if you get my drift. :teeth:

I hate to see babies not dressed properly or shaded from the sun.
And young girls who are dressing like they are advertising. :rolleyes:
I hate most clothes that are out there for young people!! Call me old fashioned, I guess.
And the worst thing about any poorly dressed person are the ones who smell worse than they are dressed!!! :scared1: :faint: :crazy2:

Not at disney, you might want to think twice about bringing your old worn swim wear so you can just trash them at the end of your trip. We saw this woman who's swim suit was so wore in many places that it was completly see through. She was giving the whole park way more than she thought :lmao: I would have been motified. :eek:

Last time I was at WDW with friends we had a game giving ratings on the "unfit wear for WDW" scale - we called it something else but you get my drift. I'm 40 but my friends were 21/23 and they still found a lot of stuff trashy, so it has nothing to do with age!
I'm all for comfort and will definitely dress down at WDW, shorts & a t-shirt or tank top, but I still check the mirror to see if it doesn't look stupid! Last year I wore ankle length dresses somedays, and was cooler & more comfortable than in shorts and I top.
Tight clothes are often warmer than loose flowing ones. so the thing I don't understand is people wearing shorts that are too small for them, where one of the legs rides up, that is so icky!
Trashy dressing seems to be the norm these days, and people don't even think about if anything is "appropriate" I can do/wear/say what I want and it's not my problem, if you have a problem with it it's YOUR problem.
(btw for the girls who don't like their bra straps showing - which is also a pp of mine - over here we get a strap that you can attach to the straps on the back bringing them together so they don't show http://www.brastrapsupporter.com/)

I used to wear this skimpy tank top with a narrow strap in the back and withhumongous arm holes and neck hole and that didn't quite reach my waist (the kind weightlifters sometimes wear). Then one day when I took it off I saw its outline sunburned into my torso which looked so bad that it hurt. From that time on I wore shirts (muscle shirts) that at least covered the tops of my shoulders.
Once I saw this pair of pants I liked except I passed it up becuase i did not like the big words "Tommy Hilfiger" up the leg.
Am I the ONLY one that finds the term "wife beater" for a shirt extremely offensive?

Discount retailer XXX has apologized for an advertisement in a recent flyer that offered three "wife beater" undershirts for $5.98. The tank style T-shirts are called wife beaters because of a stereotype that physically abusive men wear them. The ad, which appeared in a Feb. 19 flyer, outraged women's groups and led to a quick apology from XXX founder Jerry XXX, who took full responsibility for the ad. XXX officials said the company's headquarters was deluged with critical calls and e-mails.

let's just sayyyy- you know if you should be wearing tanktops- chest-friendly/larger people, leave the britney spears training kit AT HOME.
I saw a similar woman as goalie5hole at Typhoon Lagoon. She was young and had a pretty face, but weighed about 300 lbs and was wearing a string bikini. At first I thought she had lost her bottoms in the pool because I would not see them. Then I saw that there was a small string bow tied at her hip. The rest of the suit had been swallowed up by her skin folds! Just because they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it!

for those who hate the bikini top look and the short shorts, this will definitly cheer you up.
the last time i was at the magic kingdom there were a group of girls, i'd like to say cheerleaders but i'm not sure if thats what they really were. anyway, they came in with there bikini tops on, and short that they rolled the tops up so they'd be even shorter, and a security guard standing just at the entrance into the first shop on the left as you enter stopped the whole group, told them they needed to fix the shorts and put real shirts on or they would be escorted out, and not one of them said a word back, and did as he told them. I saw them later and they still look presentable. i guess the guy put some fear into them.

I saw that ad flyer too. They offered the outfits in three different colors. Good sun protection for you and good way to cover up to the satisfaction of the fashion police what the string bikini didn't, on your Disney trip.

On the bra strap comments, I will be wearing sport bras with my spaghetti straped tank tops. The sport bras have the thinner straps and truthfully it just looks like I am layering my tank tops because the top of my sports bras look like a tank top. You can get sports bras in many different colors. I don't let my stomach hang out as I have had two kids so no one ever knows that it is a full tank top.

Just because some of us wear tank tops doesn't mean we wear them like britney. We don't show 1/2 our breasts and all our bellies. Don't assume that just because a lady has bigger breasts than another lady she is going to dress trashy.

I'm from England and I'm embarrassed to say my dad is one of the men that likes to wear socks and sandals (not a good look) however usually he does not make it out of the hotel room before i have made him change into tennis shoes.
I always find that if i look presentable I'm uncomfortable and if I'm comfortable i look like a mess. Why do shorts always ride up or gather (if you no what i mean)?, i have never found a perfect pair of shorts. I also wear a vest top and tennis shoes.
