Dress codes @ WDW

[>Ash<]

I go to WDW every year im from the UK ...

Euro-Disney (DLRP) i think would also ask you to cover up surely... i didnt think they were much different from WDW when i went lol just more Germans than at WDW lol

i would have thought sunbathing topless would be an issue as it is a family place afterall...

i think if your top is transparant you may offend

You cannot go topless at the pool, you will be asked to cover up, and I am pretty sure it is illegal. As far as no bra goes, as long as you can't see your nipples, I don't think there is much anyone can do. Just be prepared for people to stare.

Topless sunbathing definitely is a bad idea. However for your second question what I would do is just put a bra in your day bag or purse for the parks. That way if it becomes a problem you just have to pop in a restroom and put it on.

I agree with the violance and nudity thing in america. There is a game my husband plays called God of War. I play many somewhat violent video games but I can't even watch this one. Blood everyone heads cut off, its just awful... want to know why most people think it shouldn't be sold? There is one short sex scene that barely shows anything.

This is a good point I hadn't thought of in my first post. If you woudl be at all uncomfortable with people starring please understand that most people aren't used to showing as much skin in America so you will probably have many males, especially teenage ones staring at you all day.

And this is what I told her. But did we really have to get so mean in answering her question? If you went to India and tried to order a hamburger, they would politely tell you that cows are sacred and that they do not serve beef...couldn't we just politely let her know what OUR policies are without making her feel like there is something wrong with HER culture?

While humor is fine as we are all adults, for the same reason I would expect us not to be so ignorant to other cultures. This is one of the only times I am ashamed of being an American, we'll complain that someone comes to our country and doesnt try to speak our language yet when they ask about a cultural difference we make light of it. How ignorant.

As someone that actually works here at WDW, I can say that thousands of our guests daily dont wear bras. It isnt a big deal unless someone else makes it one, in which case who's the faulty party? Just make sure your covered, and make sure you have something in your purse (IE: Sports Bra, Another shirt, etc.) in case you get wet on a ride and need to change. No worries. Not complicated. Enjoy your trip!

I think I like you a lot.

So often on here we see threads, moaning about the foreigners coming over and being rude and when someone mentions that culturally it may not seem rude to them. Of course the reply is always if you come to America you should learn the culture of the country you are visiting and try to fit in.

This is what this women is trying to do. Rather than showing up and getting into trouble, she is asking up front, a simple No sorry you aren't allowed to sunbath topless by the pool would do.

Not everyone in Europe sunbathes nude and not everyone in America watches violence sweeping generalisations do nobody any good.

My opinion on the bra situation is that it would probably depend on many things, size, cut of top, colour of top etc. Use your own common sense, as you can see here many don't like it so you can assume that many in the parks will also not like it if it is overly obvious.

I personally don't mind if anyone sunbathes topless but I think 99% of the families at Contemporary might mind, so I would say no.

As far as no bra- whatever floats your boat. However, when you get wet on a water ride, and the shirt rubs, it might cause some chaffing.

I hate the chaffing.

I just wanted to support your position because I totally agree!

There's way too many posts jumping over people and their questions. Too many people immediately think "troll" instead of giving the benefit of doubt.

The internet has a bad way of making people (who may normally be very polite, well behaved, and tolerent in their everyday face-to-face activities) turn into ill-mannered beasts who do not think/care how their "words" can be harsh sounding (to be mild) and hurtful.

Step back, re-read, breathe deeply, and reconsider what you are posting.

Another person chiming in just to say that I totally agree with you on all fronts!

 

[A_Princess'_Daddy]

Well I didn't mean be ashamed of their body - guess it was more of a cultural shock for me. If you are happy with your body then flaunt it but I know when I was in Europe I guess I felt uncomfortable thats it.

Thanks for your clarification. I just wanted to point out that there is a large difference between feeling that somebody should be ashamed of the human body and not personally wanting to go topless because it's not something with which you are culturally comfortable, so it sounds like we are on the same page.

I love it?

I've been lurking for a while and didn't intend to become a poster but...

You do realize that "Jean" is not a girl's name in French...The OP's signature is JeanFr, which can only stand for Jean-François, definitely a man's name.

SO when he says he doesnt wear a bra in summer...how do you say troll in French? Lutin?

I didn't mean to come off as sounding rude. I simply meant that if you are going to walk around with out a bra on, and a light tank top, most likely you will have people looking at you. I know I would look twice if I saw that because it is not normal here. I meant to say that you can do what you want, but be prepared to have people stare. I would probably have to slap my dh on the back of his head! Also, it is good to be prepared so she doesn't go to the pool, take off her top, and get charged with indecent exposure. But you are right. She asked a question, and had some really mean responces, but the OP putting down the way American's raise their kids didn't help.

 

[LaurenT]

Jean can be a woman or man's name in french and the Fr could simply mean Francais or France.
You could, of course be right....this could be a troll...we have no way to know one way or another...but either way, she (he) sure did manage to bring out the "ugly american" in us.

I'm sorry to have to contradict you but I'm a native speaker of French. "Jean" is NOT a woman's name in French. The female version of "Jean" is "Jeanne".

Of course, you are right about the fact that we can't know for for sure if the the person is male or female but I think his signature and the nature of his post is telling of someone who just wants to stir the pot.

You are quite possibly right, however, how many people make their user names, their kids, maybe she has kids????

The point is we don't know, trolls only troll because people react. If someone answered it with sorry you can't topless sunbath it wouldn't be an issue they wouldn't get a rise and anyone wanting to know the information for future reference would know it.

You are also making assumptions that the OP's name is even derived from French. Not everyone who lives in France is either French, or descended from France.

So sorry for causing fights. Never intended too. Simple questions asked, sparked a feud. I like to clear up some items;

1) Not a nudist - It's my culture (been to southbeach 10 year ago topless everwhere)
2) Not a troll ( I looked up this troll - very unkind) -not looking for problem
3) I am not a male, I can asure you all. My first name is Jeanne from france thus JeanFR. Notice how the FR is in capital. Amazing how you can tell im not who I say I am from a name on screen.
4) I only wanted 2 simple anwers to a questions. I have other questions, unreleated to my first two. Iam scared to ask.
5) To all who answered my questions, Thank you. Advise taken
6) To all those who got angry, Sorry to have caused conflict.
