Business Casual Modified

[njdisneyfreak]

I just made a change to our dining ressies. The CM on Disney Dining (Atlanta, who was completely awesome!) informed me that business casual was modified as of this past Sunday.

Now, men can wear non-collared shirts, including nice t-shirts. Jeans are allowed for all, and sneakers are permitted.

I know this may bother some who prefer more upscale dress codes at certain restaurants, but I'm happy that I can leave some of my extras at home and use the same clothes I plan to wear for the rest of our trip. More room for the souvenirs!

Yea! We love Narcoosee's but who wants to dress up when it's 200 degrees outside and you're coming from/going right back out to the parks?

I know people bend the business casual rules, but I saw a couple guys at Jiko this week wearing shorts and t-shirts...I mean c'mon!!

I don't know...I wouldn't call that "business casual," I'd just call that "casual." But that's just me!


Until next time,

I agree that it's not truly business casual anymore, and with the lack of enforcement that so many have said has been going on for a while anyway, it hasn't been business casual for a while. Maybe they'll just change from calling it business casual to simply dress code and specify accordingly. But, with these latest changes, they might as well take away the dress code concept altogether.

My mom is a CM at Artist point and she told me that they never denied anyone seating unless the man was wearing a tank top. She does get a little nuts when the men give her a hard time when they are asked to take their hats off

With the exception of V&A's, dress shorts, jeans and sneakers have been acceptable all along. The code has never been true business casual. T-shirts were technically banned, but that was never enforced.


Disney's "business casual" is really "resort casual", which is the code at many very fine establishments in many resort destinations. For a variety of reasons, enforcing a stricter code on any kind of large scale at a place like WDW is simply not practical.

We actually had an ADR at Jiko last week and we came straight from AK. The guys in our group brought collared shirts, but out of curiosity I went up to check-in before changing from the tank top I was wearing (we were also right on-time and I hate checking in late). The manager at the podium just discreetly asked me if I had brought a t-shirt or something and I told her I did and she was fine with it.

IT might be easier for WDW to simply say what is absolutely NOT ACCEPTABLE than try to define what is.
It's getting pretty near to signs I saw in a couple of nice Baltimore Md. restaurants recently--"Shirt and shoes must be worn".

I agree with you Uncleromulus. They should just say and post what is acceptable to wear into the restaurants. My Wife and I have always enjoyed dressing up for the signature restaurants at WDW so I'm sure that's what we will continue to do.

I agree that it may be easier to just say what isn't allowed and not define the dress code. I think that some restaurants should stick to a dress code, most need to be accomodating to resort guests coming from parks. While some may not like the lax attitude over dining attire, it is still WDW.

I agree with your statement. It is so hard coming from the parks and either wearing nicer attire to the parks ( which in the heat is easy) or stopping back at your resort to change. We always look presentable and I would never go to one of the very upscale restaurants in shorts. But it is WDW, most people are there for the parks and it is just too hard to bring alot of dress clothes with. I never quite understood what business casual was, I glad it is at least a little more understandable.
