Offensive clothing

[carly3592]

I remember a few years ago I was in MK and I saw a man wearing a shirt that read "I'm not your gynecologist, but I'll have a look anyway". Now, while most children won't even know what a gynecologist is, I was completely shocked that someone would wear a shirt like that at WDW.

Wearing clothing with expletives is truly a classless act. I dont get too hung up on it though. If my kids asked me , I would just explain that it is not appropriate. I cant control what people do, say or wear when we are out, but at least I can educate.

Hi everyone first post here
Just wanted to add something, when I went 10 years ago when son was 2, he messed his tshirt up so I took it off washed it out and hung on the stroller to dry...a cm came up to me and told me my baby had to be wearing a top, I explained patiently that I didn't have a spare and she told me to buy one, it was very humiliating..... Thankfully this was my only bad cm experience in the years I've been visiting

I had a situation a few months ago when I was in the queue for Maelstrom with a grandnephew and grandniece when I saw a guest a few rows back with an obscene shirt. I got out my cell phone and called the Security urgent number and reported what I had seen. By the time the call ended I was ready to board the boat.

Shortly after we got to the Unload area (before the movie) a uniformed Security Officer showed up next to the podium. I talked to him to confirm what I had seen and the Guest had not yet arrived in unload. I let him handle the situation.

Is that really true?

Although bradk's post was, as always, filled with correct information and insight, that one sentence was completely false. No business that allows public entry (even on "private property" and with an admission ticket) may eject someone for "any" reason.

And although I can't say for sure, I'm fairly certain that, say, the janitor can't make an on-the-spot decision to eject someone from the park -- that such a decision would at least have to go to a manager and/or security. But I will admit to being uncertain on that one.

I was at MGM once in the summer and a man took off his teeshirt because he was hot. Within a minute or two two disney employees went up to him and told him to put it back on. So I am sure if someone had anything offensive on their shirt they would be confronted.

I'll be good. I promise!

I've posted this story on here before but I'll share it again anyway...

A couple of years ago, my now ex-boyfriend and I were purchasing tickets at DHS and a security CM approached us and told him that he had to either change his shirt or turn it inside-out. It was a Chicago Cubs shirt that were made to kind of look like jerseys (logo on the front, name and number on the back). The player's name was F u k u d o m e. At first we thought she was joking. We explained that it was a baseball player and a plain-clothes security guard said, "Well, I've never heard of him. Maybe you should root for the Yankees since they have normal names." Anywho, we wound up heading back to the car so that he could change his shirt.

I participated in Disney's College Program, back in 2006, and I worked at The Emporium in Magic Kingdom. (A huge merchandise store). Anyway, there was a handful of times I saw security bring a guest in the store, and make the guest buy a new shirt, or they were told they must leave the park. We were told of the dress code, but we were also told not to say anything to guest about their dress. If we saw something inappropiate we called our manager, who then called security. It was the same procedure for shoplifters. I saw a group of teenage girls putting the build a charms in their bras. I called my manager, who then called security, and by then the girls were long gone. I was told that disney doesn't want CMs who are not trained to get involved in such situations. Also, they don't want CMs to get involved who can't do anything to resolve the situations, to get involved. I couldn't force someone to buy a new shirt, I couldn't eject someone from the park, and I couldn't hold a group of teenage girls against their will because they stole.

I really think what it boils down to is Disney doesn't want to get sued over something like a teenage girl stealing a 10 dollar necklace, or a woman who is told her shorts are too short. I was told, if I see someone who is clearly not in dress code, say nothing, call a manager, and they will handle it.

FCUK will mean nothing to a kid who doesn't make the connection.

And if they make the connection, you've already lost the battle.

While I consider it childish and wouldn't wear the thing, I wouldn't get all worked up over it, either.

A teenager our party was asked to change their shirt one morning at DHS. They were wearing a band t-shirt which happened to have a gun on it. The shirt had been worn previously in other parks so i guess it must just depend on how the CMs are feeling that day

My adult son had to turn his shirt inside out to get into Epcot because it had a gun picture on it.

 

[puffkins]

Why would anybody have the desire to wear a shirt with profanity on it to a Disney park? That's a fairly expensive way to show off your non-conformist individualism.

I'm certainly not a saint...but since a sizeable portion of all Disney crowds are children, even at Epcot, one would think a modicum of common sense would come into play.

I would also suspect that the CMs at the entrance are more concerned about the type of clothing worn rather than what the clothing may or may not say (or show).

When I first saw people wearing the logo FCUK, I had to take a double take and then saw the clothing sold in the UK Pavilion. Is it possible that is what he saw? I have actually seen people stopped at the gate and asked to remove or turn their shirt inside-out.

same thing when the clothing line first came out I used to double take that too, however it does stand for French Connection U.K.; clever marketing. LOL it's everywhere now that I don't notice anymore.

delete as I had misread comment I was replying to and my reply doesn't make sense

While I totally agree with banning shirts printed with profanity, I don't understand why you couldn't wear a shirt with a picture of a gun. There are guns in the Magic Kingdom, at the shooting gallery and in the jungle cruise. There is also a gun in Pecos Bills hanging on the wall as decoration. You can ride Pirates of the Caribbean, and watch audio-animatronics shoot guns, and then buy your kids a toy gun at the exit. I mean, I'm not a big fan of guns, but its not like WDW is a gun free zone, I think its a little silly to ban shirts with pictures of guns.

Good point!!!!

I went to Disney back in 2006, and at that time the French Connection brand was incredibly popular here in the UK. On my very first day at Disney l made the mistake of wearing a tshirt with FCUK on it, and was asked to remove it as soon as l entered the park. As soon as the CM asked me to l completely understood why, and just felt a bit silly for wearing it in the first place. Luckily this was as TL so had swim wear on ready underneath so wasn't an issue.

I went with a group of 6 friends and we pretty much all had FC clothing with us. We were all more than happy to not wear it until we returned home!

I remember t-shirts that said "Where the heck is someplace" then the back giving the miles from something else that isn't as well known - My brother had one & wore it to school & the teacher put masken tape over it

Personally I don't care what people wear, but I think there's a certain degree of descretion that people should consider when they know there will be a lot of kids around
