Will I be OK with jeans or shorts at Yachtman's Steakhouse or will I feel out of place?

While I have never been to Yachtsman's Steakhouse, I wore jeans and a nice blouse to Flying Fish Cafe and to Narcoossee's and did not feel out of place. There were plenty of people at both locations in what I would consider theme park attire, baseball caps and all. Hope that Helps

I usually try for black pants (we go in december) and a nice top for Yachtsman, but a nice blouse/top and nice jeans should be just fine. Like previous poster said, you'll see quite a range of outfits.

I go to the Yachtsman a few times a year - shorts I haven't seen while there and I have noticed the later the reservation the more dressed up people are. I usually go with dress pants or a skirt with a nice top.


Have a great time!

Disney dress code allows you to wear jeans. I, personally would feel underdresssed and would not wear jeans.

I think you'd feel MORE out of place without them.

It depends on the style. If they are nice looking jeans w/out being either too tight or too baggy, and preferably a dark wash, you'll be all set.

I agree with Queenie. I wore dark dressy type jeans with a fancy schmnancy top that went pretty well together. As long as they aren't holey or baggy you should be fine.

Very funny!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was seriously wondering about the humor level on this board but at least one person has one. You are a lifesaver!

I wore Liz Claiborne shorts and DH wore nice Levis and we were fine, they still took our money!

You will be absolutely fine in jeans. When I went I wore nice pants and a nice shirt and I probably should have just worn jeans with the nice shirt because 60% of the people there had on jeans, 30% had on shorts and probably 10% were dressed up.

We wore jeans everywhere on our last visit -- including to Yachtsman's Steakhouse, Narcoossee's, and California Grill.

Sure, some folks will show up wearing suit and tie or a fancy dress, but others will show up wearing much less formal clothing.

The only time I noticed us being out of place was at California Grill on a Saturday night -- when a lot more locals were probably there, rather than theme park guests. That night, probably 80% were wearing something nicer than jeans and a collared shirt/blouse.

At Narcoossee's and Yachtsman's, on the days we were there, the number of people wearing such formal wear was far lower.

DH and I were there 2 years ago on Valentine's Day for an anniversary dinner. DH and I dressed in what would probably be described as business casual. Although many people we dressed nicely, there were a number of groups who came in dressed as if they just returned from one of the parks. So, if you want to wear jeans, I don't think that you will really feel out of place.

Pirate--I thought it was funny too!
And any sort of jeans--as long as they aren't torn--will be just fine!
Same for shorts. Although the code says "dress shorts", almost anything will get you in.

I am so glad to see I will be OK in jeans. I don't want to eat anywhere that feel like I have to dress up. I am on vacation! But, just because I don't dress up does not mean that I don't want a fantastic dinner. So I am glad to hear I will be OK if I am not all dressed up.

"Proper attire is business casual. Please no tank tops, swimming suits or swim suit cover ups, t-shirts, hats, flip-flop style footwear, or torn clothing in the dining room."

One of the reasons I didn't make an ADR for the Yachtsman's Steakhouse was because I found the above description on the menu page on DIS. I felt business casual did not include jeans and I knew my dh would object to having to take business casual clothes on vacation. Maybe one company's definition of "business attire" is not the same as anothers?

 

[ransom]

MaryannF, it's confusing because WDW recently changed their definition of Business Casual to the following (quoted from WDW's Yachtsman's Steakhouse Page):

"Dress Attire is Business Casual

Men: Dress slacks, jeans, trousers, or dress shorts, t-shirt, short or long-sleeved shirt with a collar required. Jackets are optional.

Ladies: Jeans, skirts, or dress shorts with blouse, t-shirt or sweater, or a dress required.

Not permitted in dining room: tank tops, swimming suits or swim suit cover ups, hats for gentleman, cut offs, or torn clothing of any kind. While t-shirts are now allowed, the policy remains that t-shirts with offensive language and/or graphics are not acceptable."

So go and enjoy Yachtsman's Steakhouse!
