Well, it's been my profile picture for a long time now, and I've never actually shown the full size picture in any of my posts (profile picture to the left). Since this thread was about tube tops, I thought the picture would be appropriate to show that it's not really revealing much, and there are much worse things out there. Also, that people wear these tops all the time and never have anything said to them, it's not like it's a bikini top.
That being said, without actually seeing what his wife was wearing, it's kind of hard to judge. If it was nothing more than a basic tube top, than yea, I think the cast member was way out of line, and I would have gone to management for sure. That's just embarassing and uncalled for. However, if it was your basic tube top AND there was a V cut down the middle and no sides to it, than yea, the cast member probably made the right call. At this point, it's just speculation.
Oh yea, and I was showing off my hot wife too. Hey, we just got married, let me do it while I can! lol
I have one last comment for this thread.
If Disney were to enforce each and every single rule, how many people do you think would still consider Disney a "magical" place? It's almost as if we want to turn Disney into a police state, with people wandering around wondering what rule they might have just broken.
I understand certain rules should be enforced. If someone is walking around in a bathing suit, ok, I hear ya. If someone is standing in line for a ride puffing on a cigarette, ok, I hear ya. If someone is making out like they're in their bedroom at the Rose and Crown in Epcot (actually, this happened to us, a couple was full out going at it at the bar, the whole place was in shock, and they kicked them out actually), ok, I hear ya.
But do we need to enforce every single little rule to death? I want to be on vacation, not reading the latest list of rules and guidelines for my "Disney Stay", or worrying that because you can see my wife's kneecaps she might be violating some dress code.
The last time I looked, WDW was located in America. I find that inexcusable that WDW told the lady to change her top and put more clothes on.
For shame...
Amen, sister. When I see anyone who is dressed in more revealing clothing, I worry about their impending sunburn, not whether I should be offended. I'm also usually resentful that the bikini-wearers look better than I do.
And I would be very curious as to what the poster who objects to heavy women in tube tops would like them to wear. Muumus? Sweatsuits? A sign that says "I'm sorry my size offends you?" What garbage. It's 9000 degrees in Florida. Wear what won't give you heatstroke.
Its pretty obvious that something is not right with the OP post.
Unless I missed it not only has he not posted a picture, which is fine, but he hasn't even responded once.![]()

I was itching to post on this thread, hoping everyone would just say what I want to say for me, in probably better words... but I'm sorry. I can't help it. So here's my opinion.
My biggest problem with this topic is the OP's attitude towards this. Anyone who's worked a job where you have to deal with customer knows how easily people overreact, and start blabbing about some big conspiracy or injustice that was done to them... when it really shouldn't be that big of a deal at all. I work in a pharmacy, and you wouldn't believe what kinds of things people will start harassing us about (but I'm not going to get into that.) I think a serious case of over-reacting is what this is all about. I'm sorry, but those who are saying that "that CM was so rude! How dare they say that to you!!" I just have to roll my eyes at... how are -we- to know exactly -what- tone of voice, body language, facial expression she said those words in... if they were even her words at all? It's amazing how one word left out of a sentance, or added, or twisted can make something sound so different.
I personally can't see CMs going out of their way to get some confrontation from visitors, but to each their own. It happens, but I'm sure that whoever this poor woman was who was just doing her job wasn't trying to snipe people.
I applaud her for upholding the dress code. While I agree that it should be made more known to everyone, and be more consistant, a CM has EVERY RIGHT to tell someone their attire is inappropriate and not let them in the park. None of us knows what this top looked like, and none of us knows exactly what the CM said, the conversation between them, or how she said it... but she has every right to do what she did.
I applaud her because she didn't turn the other way like many probably do to avoid confrontation, because people can get scary and defensive.
I think it is -how- someone wears an article of clothing that makes a big difference. I seriously think people need to learn that not everyone can get away with not wearing a bra... that's one thing that has always bothered me. I don't care what size someone is, but strapless tops (depending on the design) can very easily slip on rides or running around- it's just not practical. There are some better-made ones that probably could withstand lots of activity, but a lot of people really need to double-check the fit of their clothing, too. It's one thing to wear a nice tank top to beat the heat. It's another to be a size medium and think you're an extra-small...
To some up that nonsense paragraph.. I don't think it's the clothing, it's if it's the RIGHT SIZE and people are wearing bras when they need to, it shouldn't come off as skanky.
I don't doubt that what this OP's wife was wearing was a little bit on the risky side, even if it was her birthday. He won't come and say any more on the topic after he started the flame-war in the first place so I guess we'll never know.
And to whoever above made the "disney people are starting to turn out to be mean people" statement (or something along those lines, sorry)... I think it's not that the people here are trying to be mean, but they're just stating their opinion. I am not ganging up on the OP, I just think that there was a serious overreaction that took place there.
They were offered a free t-shirt, not to be "bought off" but probably to help solve the problem and make everyone happy. What did he want? The person who was doing her job to be fired on the spot? I just think some people like to feel important by complaining very loudly if they feel they've been "mistreated".
It's imbarassing to be told that your clothing is not appropriate, which is probably where the anger and tears came from... but other than that I think it just should have been shrugged off instead of " I will NEVER go to disneyworld AGAIN AAHDOIFAISODJ"
Sorry for the lengthy post, and if it made no sense at all![]()
I'm not trying to fight or be mean or whatnot, just had to say it.
Starwater----
My issue is not really a modesty one. I have a problem with the strapless tops at theme parks becasue I have seen them come down on rides...on women of many different sizes. I think that could possibly be more of the problem that they have with strapless tops rather than the whole modesty issue. They are not the thing to wear because I don't need my kids seeing some girls bare chest when gravity takes over or the ride restraints pull the top off. Throw a couple of eleasitc sholder straps on that tube top to keep it up and I'm good with it if you have the body to wear it.
While we are on the dress code question--- anyone know what is acceptable at the resort pools and the water parks?
I do find it strange that the OP has a little vent and then does not show an image of the top in question, be it a tube top or another kind of strapless top.
Also don't forget Jessica Rabbit. THe most curvacious of the ladies with a strapless dress.
wkrider,
ROFL! The Little Mermaid - of course! How could I have forgotten about the seashell bikini?
What tube top could possibly be more revealing than that?!![]()
Hey, the original plan was to have her topless and her hair cover any parts that needed to be.
And while you're at it, turn down the music and get off my lawn ya dern kids!
