What not to wear!!

[Jonell]

We're having a great time at wdw this week but I've been shocked by some things I've seen people wearing. I've seen too many panties and heat rashes in areas that should be covered up. Is your going to wear a tiny mini skirt to the park at least wear some shorts under it!! Ive seen tops that looks like sports bras and many other too revealing articles of clothing in the parks. We saw a lady at Epcot today with her whole breast exposed while feeding her child. I don't have any problems whatsoever with her breast feeding or seeing her breast, but I had rather my preteen ds not have seen it. Anyways this is the most crowded I've ever seen it this time of year.

I know alot of people won't agree with you but I do. I get freedom of expression and all that and i get its hot out but these people need to consider this is Disney and the majority of guests are kids. Be responsible and save the revealing outfits for clubs or home. Not walking around a park filled with little kiddos.

What amazes me are the shoe choices. I saw heels, very high wedge sandals, leather (to the knee) boots, people who really need a ton of support wearing $5 flip flops from Walmart. I would cringe just thinking about how uncomfortable people must have been. The best investment I make for my family going to Disney is good quality footwear!

I've seen so many bizarre fashion choices there! As much as I hate fanny packs, I understand the utility of them, and if it makes you happy, go right ahead. What I don't understand are the stilettos! I'm a lady. I can wear heels. I cannot wear heels for the miles that I walk during a day at the parks!

Bizarre/skimpy fashion choices are not the same thing as nursing a child, and the two shouldn't be lumped together.

This!

Why?

 

[ShayBells]

Okay I just thought of something. You covered skimpy but if we are going for bizarre/comfortable. This one time in August I saw a women about ready to pop wearing a long skirt to her feet and a long sleeve shirt. I mean I guess everyone is different but when I was that far along pregnant all I wanted to be was naked not walking around disney fully clothed. But to each their own and all that.

Why?

Because no matter now natural and beautiful breastfeeding is to people who are all about it, the fact of the matter is to most teenage boys breasts are sexual stimuli. Sorry if you find that offensive or immature but thats the way it is.

To respond to the thread though I agree! I got right behind a girl with straight up butt cheeks hanging out of a pair of jean shorts/thong. I do NOT want to see everyone's butts no matter how toned and shapely it may be. Lol!

It's your right to feed your infant child, it's my right to be able to walk around the parks without seeing it. There are baby centers around, why people feel the need to nurse their baby wherever they want? A little decorum never hurt anyone.

Should there be a dress code?

Well, then you had better avert your eyes or perhaps put a blanket over your head in 94 degree weather to avoid "seeing it" because it's *not* your right to walk around the parks and dictate where and how other mothers feed their children.

FLorida LAW:

"The breastfeeding of a baby is an important and basic act of nurture which must be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health and family values, and in furtherance of this goal:
(1) A mother may breastfeed her baby in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple of the mother’s breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breastfeeding.
(2) A facility lawfully providing maternity services or newborn infant care may use the designation “baby-friendly” if it establishes a breastfeeding policy in accordance with s. 383.016."

I nursed my dd for a whole year. I had a lovely cover that I used if she ever needed to be fed in public.

I have seen many questionable fashion choices at Disney and some offensive t-shirts as well.

 

[Belleandtinker]

Disney is great people watching!


In shocked every trip by something. The one thing I don't get is high heels. They must hurt - no hose, hot back top walking around and around all day long.

Everything else is just "different" to use. We use fanny backs while others wear flip flops. We must all talk about each other.

Have fun people watching.

That's all good but don't take offense when my son ogles your breasts.

It doesn't bother me seeing a woman breastfeed. Yes, I would personally cover myself up, whether with clothing or a blanket (but I'm not interested in an entire theme park seeing areas that are generally reserved for my husband), but to each their own. I would never ask a breastfeeding woman to go to a bathroom--my discomfort in that situation doesn't matter because she is feeding a child. My hope is that if a teenage boy saw that, his parents would explain to him that it's not a sexual act (and if he still finds it that way, mom could always gross him out and remind him he did the same thing... that should dispel all unsavory thoughts in his brain!).

In regards to other fashion choices, I don't too often notice terrible clothing, but mostly I notice shoes. I have seen some odd footwear choices at the parks, and I do agree that some of those young girls trying to impress the boys with hot pants and heels have to be miserable pretty early in the day!

Human nature LAW:

It's a female breast. It's exposed. People are gonna look, point and laugh/talk.

 

[Mommy2Corinne]

I won't, don't worry. I'll be too focused on feeding my hungry baby and not on random gaping onlookers who are staring so intently at me and my son sitting on a bench in the shade that they happen to catch a 2 second glimpse of my breast as my son latches on or off.

But it might be time to have a chat with your son about basic manners...or heaven forbid a real conversation about the difference between skimpy booty shorts/cleavage revealing bikini tops/bared midriffs and the act of feeding a human child.

This topic shouldn't even be a topic on these boards! It is what it is and it happens, some of you agree some of you don't, point being- with people being on two different sides of this you will not see eye to eye so why talk till your blue in the face? Everyone's opinions are to each their own and typically aren't going to change their thoughts regardless of the comments you make. Hopefully the mods will close this discussion soon enough, there are other sites you can argue this topic on, not the dis boards. These boards are for Disney advice not to bicker over breastfeeding. Night all.
