DL Dress Code

[Kdbruin]

I am glad someone posted this thread. I am a Californian and visit DL about once a year and until this trip, I do not recall ever seeing anyone in nothing on top but a black lace bra. I was very taken aback. My husband was also surprised to see a man chewing tobacco and spitting all over (nothing against chewing tobacco but please use a cup). To me Disneyland is supposed to be a step up from the fair and other local carnivals. Walt's vision was for a place where families could come and enjoy themselves in a wholesome environment because of his dislike like of carnivals and fairs.

Did you read the rest of the thread? Because pretty much everyone is disagreeing with it...for good reason.

I agree with kdbruin. After reading the posts in this thread, I am wondering at what point the prior posters would draw the line on what is acceptable dress in DLR.

 

[Kdbruin]

And I am not a prude or against individual expression however, I feel there are places where revealing attire isn't appropriate regardless of the trend.

I live in the Rocky Mountains and still wear yoga pants in the middle of winter.
Will I be wearing them to Cali in a few weeks? Yep. Maybe not to a fancy restaurant, but definitely to Disneyland.
I think Yoga pants are generally acceptable now. I honestly think reasonable crop shirts are fine too.

Where I draw the line is those shorts where your bum cheeks are hanging out....my discomfort simply stems from sanitary reasons (bare bums leaving the seat I am about to sit on is very ew!)

Um, no, because lack of deodorant impacts other people a whole lot more than the sight of girls in short shorts.

A theme park isn't exactly a high class place. It's pretty much the equivalent of a mall or beach. I don't know how you survive CA in general if the mere sight of skin bothers you so much.

I don't know how they do it though, because sunburn prevents me from wearing even a tank top.

If cheeks are hanging out, there's a good chance other things can come out on rides, etc.

Oh my gosh, don't even get me thinking about that. If things get too bad, I guess we can all start bringing sanitizing wipes.
Let's hope the CMs at least continue to moderate the bare minimum dress code for health reasons.

My teenage daughters wear pants to the parks just because of what they see people wearing, or not wearing. It grosses out my daughters too.

If you think thats bad, make sure not to drive 20 miles west!

I can honestly say I've never noticed what another person was wearing in the parks, except for cool Disney bounds. I've averaged visits once a week over the last year, and there is not one revealing outfit that sticks out to me. Men or women.

I live A LOT farther north than California and we've been having what for us is an extreme heat streak for the last month or more and all I see daily are short shorts and crop tops ranging from midriff length to just a nude lace strapless bralette - all of which are very on trend right now. It's just the norm for everywhere and is perfectly acceptable in this hot weather.

Watch some youtube videos where people would be dressed up at Disneyland.

ROFL!! Welcome to SoCal.
ETA: even more ROFL thinking about how a "Mam, we're going to need for you to put on a bra" conversation would go!

Actually, we saw quite a few women in just bikini tops, with their T-shirts tied around their waists last week. I figured a CM would see them eventually and ask them to put their shirts back on, but I don't know if it actually happened or not.

Great news! I can work on my tan while wandering DLR! Carry a t-shirt to put on for rides & in AC, I'm totally fine with this!

Or you could wear one of those extreme muscle type tanks that is cut so low and has straps so thin it wouldn't hinder your tan at all - then you're fully in compliance with the dress code and still cool, lol. I wish I'd thought of this last summer when we spent 10 VERY hot days in August in DLR.

The only time I was put off by someones attire was while eating dinner at Whine Country Tratoria.
A couple of tables away, there was this gentelman wearing a sweat suit and sporting the worst plumbers crack you ever saw.
I've completley forgot what my dinner was like.

I was at DL a few days ago. Now granted it was a pretty warm day, but something caught my attention that I wanted to ask...has anyone else noticed that a lot of people were wearing very thin or revealing clothing?
While I was waiting near the Carrousel, thats where I saw the majority of it but it was consistent throughout the day: a lot of see through yoga pants (men and women), women with tshirts only and no bras, and teenagers in really short shorts and the occisional booty shorts. Do or can CMs say anything to guests about this issue or is this just the new norm now?

Basically, here is the dress code:

1. No adults in costume
2. Shirts and shoes are required at all times. (Technically nothing about pants, shorts, dresses, etc. being required)
3. No adults in costume
   
4. Nothing that promotes violence, sex or drugs
5. No adults in costume
   
6. No weapons or anything that resembles a weapon
7. No adults in costume

Yes I mention no adults in costume numerous times because that seems to be the biggest issue that Disney takes on right now. Really pretty much anything else goes, even if it only barely covers you, unfortunately this mean girls wearing shorts with their buts hanging out. I do wish Disney would do more to enforce that the dress code is at least family appropriate. I am not saying shorts need to be to the knees, but they should at least completely cover the but, if for no other reason than hygienic.

They should actually remove them from the park for the day, do that a few times and word will spread fast, this won't be an issue for long.

Wow. What a culture shock. Where I live, there's a lot of CA expats. I just figured the yoga pants was a laziness/comfort thing. In other words, sweatpants for the 21st century. Like how pajama bottoms were briefly a thing in the late 90s/early aughts, and how leggings were a late 80s/early 90s thing. I don't own a single pair because I desperately need pockets. But those that do wear them will still wear reasonable tops with it. Here, where it gets 100-110 with an even higher heat index, they're not out wearing sports bras, or bikini tops. When I was in my early twenties, I used to mow the lawn in a sleeveless tank with no bra till my husband told me to stop. You try using a push mower when it's 110 out. So, I can't imagine the need to wear that in SoCal. It can't clearly get that hot there. Last time I was there, it was mid August. Felt like room temperature until the sun started to set, then I was FREEZING. Going to DL in Jan, and worried about the temp. If a light jacket wasn't enough for me in August, how will an actual winter be?

 

[cmwade77]

In all fairness we have been having very high humidity and heat lately, still doesn't excuse the bikini top and but cheeks hanging out though.

As for how it will be in January here, it varies, it could get down to the 40s on some nights, but that would be in the middle of the night and most nights should be the 50s and high 60s to mid 70s during they day. Unless we are having one of our warm Januarys, then it could be 90+ during the day and dropping to 70s at night.
