Appropriate Halloween costume question..

[wendow]

Tasteless. Perhaps Mom's badge should have been "Dumb Sheet," while Dad's badge should have read "Sheet for Brains." I'm surprised Disney did not step in to intervene at the turnstile.

Hey, the costumes were definately budget! A couple of sheets and paper for the signs.

It would be hilarious... if they were all teens/adults at a party geared towards older guests. But not with little kids and not at Disney.

I agree. It makes me sad that they dressed up their 4 year old with a sign saying piece of sheet.

If I had been there, seen them.... Dh and I would have laughed. We may or may not have chosen to explain it to our twins (who wouldn't have gotten it), and the little guy would be oblivious. Poor costume choices for Disney? Definitely! Crude and dumb? Yup! Completely inappropriate? I don't think so. No swear words, nudity, or too scary. Just poor choice.

Agree

Remember many families have kids with big age differences. Even if it went over a 5 year olds head, they would start asking questions if their tween siblings started joking about it.

Exactly. My almost 5yo and 2 yo would be unaffected but I can guarantee you that my 13 yo and 10yo would have spent the entire night trying to figure it out and saying it over and over. It's just inappropriate for Disney.

I told DH this last night and he called this morning to tell me his first client was Mrs. Sheets!?! I have never heard that name before. We got a good laugh over it.

That is too funny! How's that for timing!?! I've never heard the name before either.

I don't feel the sheet costume thing is appropriate for Disney at all. I don't go there expecting to be confronted by something like that...it's tacky and crude and hey, if little kids don't get it, that's great, but I'm an adult - I get it and my family doesn't use that kind of language and I don't particularly care for it.

What's the point of Disney having costume guidelines if they're not enforced?
This is right off the Disney website:
"Costumes Should
"Be child-friendly.
Costumes Should Not
"Be obstructive, offensive or violent.

Please Note
"Please be sure costumes meet these guidelines. If a costume cannot be modified, a Guest may be refused entry into the event.

Some might feel that "everyone will be offended by something sooner or later", but give me a break...the theme was based on a curse word. So how is that child-friendly and not offensive to those of us who don't use that kind of language? Plus, from the OP's description, it sounded like they could've easily been modified...just take the signs off. Hey, too bad, the joke is ruined but you should've thought of that as a possibility before bringing the tastelessness to a family theme park.

Plus this'll be my third year at MNSSHP and I've only seen pretty nice costumes so far. Am hoping to experience the same this year.

P.S. What does this have to do with the Budget Board?

Your family doesn't use that language? What do you call whose flat and fitted bedding items most people use?

I personally would rather see a tween wrapped in a bed sheet with a sign that has no vulgar words than some of the trampy costume choices sold in a lot of stores including Disney.

I think it was funny and have no issues with it at all. I have certainly seen worse at Disney.

Last time I checked, "sheet" wasn't a bad word.

What does this have to do with the budget board???

Well a bed sheet is a pretty budget friendly costume
