I'm reading on different medias that you can be stopped at the gate if you are wearing non-licensed Disney shirts. I do vinyl and rhinestones and do not sell Disney but would like to make them for my own family for our trip next week. Anyone ever seen this happen? Being turned away for wearing "homemade" shirts?
 
I'm not sure where you are reading/seeing this, but I've never seen it happen, nor have I ever heard of it happening, and don't really believe it *would* happen, for two big reasons: (wow, that was a run-on sentence!)

--It's impossible to know what is "official" Disney vs homemade vs Etsy vs badly-executed-cheaply-made-officially-licensed (think Dollar Tree washcloth, for example).

--There's no way all the stores on Harbor would be selling Disney shirts (though, they don't usually say "Disney") if people wearing them were getting turned away at the gates. Can you imagine the riots it would cause?

In short, you won't get turned away for wearing a non-licensed shirt, unless you are (actively) marketing them inside the park. So, don't wear a sign that says, "Ask me about my Unofficial Underground Mickey Mouse Shirt Shop!" and you should be good!
 
I agree...I haven't seen anyone turned away at the gate wearing a home-made Disney-themed shirt. I also agree that if it were to happen, it would be because the shirt violates some other rules (e.g., foul or suggestive or offensive language or images, etc.). So, as long the shirts you are making fit within the guidelines of what is allowed in the park, I think you'll be fine.
 
I always make a tshirt for the kids and us,, this year itr was I cant keep calm,I, going to Disneyland....
we never had any trouble at all....

dont know who would be telling you that you would be turned away..

You will be turned awayed if wearing gang colorr. or offensive slogans...
 

When we were there in October, I had a person working the security table/line complement me on the shirt that I had made. We wore homemade shirts every day without any issues.
 
We made homemade shirts for a Halloween party a few years ago and we had no issues at all. Have fun!
 
Our family made tie-dye mickey shirts !! Have fun part of a family vacation is family shirts!!
 
My profile pic is of a shirt my aunt bought me off Etsy! I wore it twice to DL. You see unofficial and homemade shirts by the hundreds! Not to mention the social clubs' vests and jackets
