New dress code

[DisneyKidds]

Hey, stop being the peanut gallery here and go accept my trade offer.

 

[crusader]

Does this mean that we should adopt no standard? the most agreed upon standard? some other approach?

It should be left alone with a basic shoes/shirt requirement extended only to bikinis/speedos if need be.

Inventing ludicrous standard is a bad idea which I hope the company regrets.

scoop, the line has to be drawn somewhere or nudity would be allowed at the pools...hmmmm. Well, anyway, bret's comment about what's socially acceptable is very close to what I'd say. I see it as Disney acceptable (and yes they really can make that whatever they choose) but the feeling of everyone being more or less equal does exist at WDW. Certainly some folks feel nervous about a stay at the GF and some folks feel All Stars is beneath them, but on the whole the entire resort is quite equal. Further the Resort has many different entertainment, athletic and dining options which could conceivably mean many different modes of dress in order to be 'properly attired'. Does Disney really wish to open the pandora's box on this?

I would say nice, clean clothes would be a good dress code...But of course someone would still have to define "nice".

My wallet could get in but my shabby *** clothes will keep me at the rum bar with scoop & gcurling...

Sorry pal, if you expect to show up in a tank top with your Mickelsons hanging out, you need to amend your plan.

Uh, Peter...have you forgotten...GC has declared Friday Night Formal night at the Volcano Bar

Shorts and Polos are permitted. T-shirts (with sleeves) that contain no references to liberal politics are permitted, as well.

...He's apparently only buying drinks for guys (and I suppose girls) in flappers and the like...

And you "suppose" girls? What does that mean? That's it, no rumrunners for you.

 

[Peter Pirate]

You guys are killin' me...So can I still wear my "I'm with Richard head" T-shirt or not?

 

[bretsytwo]

the tihng is scoop, in your post you allude to sexuality and the family atmosphere...

and I agree completely, THAT is what a clothing policy needs to protect.

Simply making someone go from jean shorts to khacki shorts, or from a Mickey shirt to a polo shirt does nothing for that policy.

also, just like in the parks, no offensive material on the shirt.

I was advised that my "Dick Trickle" T shirt was not appropriate for Yachtsman, and I agreed...

Gee, maybe I shouldn't have started this thread, maybe I should have left well enough alone, maybe I would have prevented a lot of dissention amongst the ranks if I did not start it...........NAH!

 

[All Aboard]

Just say no.

Go #99!!

Mr. Ursine........[snip] edited for reasons beyond my control [snip] I hope you consider continuing to post your views on other sites despite the reactions your viewpoints might ellicit.

Is that better, captain?

 

[mitros]

Hey Pete, if Richard is with you, there's no reason why you can't wear the shirt! Just remind Mr. Head to bring along his drivers license in case they try to throw you out, then you can prove your shirt is legal......

 

[DisneyKidds]

Just trying to express my opinion while appeasing the gods, Scoop.

 

[cristen]

Scoop,

it was joke, settle down. You act as if you never have put me down. Sheesh.


And don't worry, the insults about you are still flying over there too.

 

[Peter Pirate]

and don't worry, the insults about you are still flying over there.

Boy scoop, you've really hit the big time!

 

[Sarangel]

You guys are all old hands, you know that you need to play nice. Also, we've gotten way off topic here. If we can't stay on topic, I'll close the thread.

Muscle shirts and gym shorts Bad.

Polos and khaki walking shorts good.

 

[Peter Pirate]

Muscle shirts and gym shorts = good
Polo's and khaki walking shorts= better
Unecessary dress codes = bad

 

[Uncleromulus]

Shorts and Disney t's-good
Swimwear-bad.
Unnecessary (and as we see,very confusing and largely unenforced) dress codes--bad

 

[crusader]

I don't think simply having a shirt and shoes (and presumably some other basic clothing) equates to the WDW atmosphere.

Since when?

The implication of an establishment requiring us to “put on a shirt and a pair of shoes” is a basic well understood universal premise in our country.

You're trying to reduce this to something it's not.

Within the public domain, there are standard terms to define a certain dress code we get as the general public..... "business casual" "formal" "semi-formal" and "casual" pretty much covers the entire caliber of choice.

What Disney did, was try to create a new dress code somewhere between casual and business casual which basically regulates the guest on a high school level.

You're also seemingly trying to justify a solution to no serious problem here. If this were a real fashion epidemic at these restaurants, we'd have known about it long before now. I think there's an entirely different reason for this management decision.

Pray tell, what could that be?
