Business Casual at Flying Fish?

[contempgal]

I have reservations for Flying Fish at Boardwalk this week. When I made these reservations, I was told that the dress code was business casual. If you've been to this restaurant, can you give me an idea of what the typical dress is.

Thanks!!

You'll see all kinds, but business casual usually means no tank tops, cutoffs, flip flops, etc. I would probably wear khaki capris and a polo or nice top (depending on the time of year). DH would wear a polo and nice jeans or khakis.

Flying Fish is one of our favorites!

This past May we made reservations for California Grill and Flying Fish. I was told when I made the reservations there was a business casual dress code. We went to both restaurants dressed nicely. (I had on a dress, my fiance had on nice slacks and jacket) when we got to both restaurants there most guests dining at the restaurant were in shorts, tee shirts and flip flops!!!!
I think over the summer they relaxed the dress code policy for restaurants all over the WDW resort (with the exception of V&As) Im sure someone else would most likely be able to provide the link for that. I wasnt able to find it.

Don't be intimidated by the "business casual" dress code - it doesn't mean the same at Disney as it does in corporate America. Pretty much anything goes except swimwear/cover-ups, flip-flops, tank-tops (on men, mainly) and clothes with holes. Decent parkwear is fine.

From Allearsnet's dining news page: Effective July 1, 2007, Disney modified its Business Casual Dress Code at its premier restaurants to include t-shirts. The guidelines, which originally went into effect July 2005, still prohibit hats, swim suits, swim suit coveralls, tank tops, torn clothing or flip-flops. Suggested attire includes dress shorts, pants, jean pants, collared shirts, blouses, sweaters. Restaurants now requiring Business Casual dress include: Artist Point (Wilderness Lodge), California Grill (Contemporary), Citricos and Narcoossee's (Grand Floridian), Jiko (Animal Kingdom Lodge), Flying Fish (Boardwalk), and Yachtsman Steakhouse (Yacht Club).

We were there in May and I don't remember seeing any t-shirts or flip flops. We got last minute reservations, and the men in our group were told to wear a collared shirt. So the men in our group all wore shorts and collared shirts and the women we traveled with were in sundresses or cute capris and tops. Nothing over the top, just a notch higher than what most people wear to parks.

The food is great, by the way. Enjoy!

Here's the actual code:

Note that t-shirts, jeans and shorts are all perfectly acceptable. Also note there is no mention made of footwear--.
This is the current year-round dress code--it was modified from an earlier one, but not simply for the summer season.

Everyone has posted the Disney dresscode and according to that just about anything is acceptable beyond a swimsuit. That being said it is all about what you are comfortable eating in. Flying Fish is a great upscale restaurant that is not inexpensive. If you are comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt than it is acceptable according to Disney's dresscode. I prefer to wear traditional business casual, nice pants and a collared shirt. It makes the dinner feel more special.

The only thing we have seen them actively enforce is no hats for men. The night we were in there they seated a man with a Tshirt that said Bite me with an inappropriate graphic and there was a lady eating at the counter that had a raggedy baseball hat on with some type of baseball team shirt. I don't think the policy is enforced consistently.

I agree with Booyakasha we dress a little better because it is an expensive special splurge for us.

We did see men turned away at Blue zoo for shirts without collars. The man probably makes more in a month than we do in a year, and he pitched a big fit, pointing out several times that all he had to do was go to his car and get one. He could have gone and been back in the time he spent arguing. We also saw a gentleman return at Artist point with a different shirt.

Good for Bluezoo and Artist's Point. Maybe it is a trend.

No--all that most likely occured BEFORE Disney modified it's dress code to allow t-shirts as part of the business casual dress code.
