Little-known (?) Park Rule

[MickeyMonstersMom]

The similarly-titled thread reminded me of something that took us aback at MK a while ago. It was our last day at WDW and we'd planned to park-hop and hit all our favorite attractions; many of which would get us wet, so we were wearing swimsuits. I had an outfit on top, DS had a t-shirt over his trunks, and DD had a t-shirt over her top and just her boy-leg swimsuit bottoms.

We were the first family to ride BTMRR, and a CM appeared to give us a certificate and escort us through the back door to a special ride on SM - what magic! However, she told us that DD could not ride in just her swimsuit bottoms. Luckily, the CM waited for us while we ducked into a nearby gift shop and purchased a pair of shorts to throw on just for the ride. I'd never heard of this rule, although it does make sense from a health standpoint, and never noticed if others had ever been told the same. Just figured I'd pass that tip along...

When we were entering MGM, a very scantilly clad young lady (in a thong bikini) was told to cover up, or she would not be allowed in the park. Since it's a family environment, I think this is the right thing to do.

I agree! I'm glad Disney does not allow that aspect of the "modern" world to penetrate the wonderful family environment created at the parks. In our case, DD was well-covered (and only 8 y/o!) - I think it was more of a hygiene issue on the ride seats.

I also seem to remember something about a cover being on a diaper, like pants. It's a hygiene thing, not that pants really help if everything has gone south...(ewww)
