Will I offend you?

[chewysmom]

Nope, I wouldn't be offended at all! I say wear it, and wear it proudly!

It doesn't sound like you'd be offensive at all & I'm sure that dressing up would be lots of fun.

To be safe I'd give WDW a call to make sure the parks are ok with it. I've never seen any adults wearing costumes and there may be a reason for it. I'm sure you're a lovely person and that this is just for fun but I can see why WDW might be concerned with child abusers dressing up to lure kids away from their families.

I say have a blast, just make sure WDW won't object before you put a lot of time & effort into your costume. Have a great trip.

While I'm sure that illegal behaviour of any kind is something of a concern, the primary reason that they don't normally allow adults to dress as Disney characters inside the parks is because they don't want "bad show" from amateur characters. Character CM's are very carefully trained and have to follow very stringent rules re: what they can and cannot say and do, and amateurs would not know those things. Some of the things that amateurs might decide to do could cause real problems; for example, taking monetary tips in exchange for autographs or photos, or setting up an autograph line right in the middle of a main pedestrian thoroughfare.

It is my understanding that the only time that adults visiting the parks are allowed to dress as Disney face characters is during MNSSHP. Guests are not ever allowed to wear a full-head-mask costume in a Disney park.

I think as long as you're fit enough to pull it off you should go for it.

 

[disyady]

It wouldn't offend me but I am in agreement with previous posters that you should be aware that they don't allow adults dressed as Disney characters into the parks (unless it's for MNSSHP).

 

[tacomaranch]

Wow, Thanks for the great reply. I am going to go for it! It is for the MNSSHP and although I am not a prude, I respect that WDW is for families and I want to make sure everyone is having a good time and my stomach doesn't offend. Where I live it is not appropriate to wear a belly dancing costume so this will be such fun to live it up a bit.

I thought I would also make my DS a small genie costume with bloomer pants in colours to match my outfit. DH doesn't like genie and wants to be a parrot head.

I have worked very hard at getting my old, after 3 kids, stomach in shape and I want to be able to show off my hard work. I think most of my upper chest is going to be covered as I don't want any surprises either. My DS loves to pull at my tops so coverage is important.

As for the bottoms, Definately way higher than the short and curlies. I am thinking waist line with a nice hip skirt and coins.

Well folks, thank you so much. I will there on Sept 29th for the day after my birthday party. I will be the short brown hair 48 yr old with a 3 yr old and we are dressed as a belly dancer and genie. I promise to not offend and thanks for such support. Come up and say Hi!

See you there. I best get sewing. April

Mom and me in Mexico. I am on the left with my 48 yr old stomach.

All the power to you if you have the body to pull it off! Just please make sure your leggings aren't see-through. No need for bikini bottoms peeking at the thigh high little ones

Hey if a VERY FLUFFY lady at Typhoon Lagoon can wear a string bikini and all you could see were the strings that tied on the sides of the bottoms, then you can wear your outift. I would much rather see your belly and shoulders than the nasty that hung out and over her bikini bottoms...

 

[tacomaranch]

I promise, nothing will be hanging out. I have worked to hard to get it to stay in!

I am now just trying to figure out to make or to buy. Ebay has the most beautiful blue detailed real outfit but it is almost $70! Yikes, just to look good for a nite? I can make it for around $40 for the fabric, pattern, trim but will need time to do it.

Urg, what to do?

Hey I like my bikini






No seriously it was not me. I'm along the lines of the cheesecake lady.

 

[LuluLovesDisney]

As long as your outfit is no more revealing than Jasmine's,and it is sufficiently different from Jasmine's that no one will confuse you, it will probably be allowed.

I agree with other posters that the legs should cover bikini area and I also would suggest checking the "rise" of the bottoms. I've seen a lot of young women in the midriff tops and low rise jeans where you could see whether or not they needed a waxing KWIM? I was offended at that.

 

[jennifer293]

It wasn't so much that I didn't like it..If I could have actually seen the suit it was probably very pretty, but the problem was that you could not see it due to all the YUCK hanging over...The bad thing was that she was not in the least self-conscious about it. She was strutting it PROUDLY, which is good I guess that she felt that confident, but girlfriend had NO BUSINESS at all wearing that!!

 

[eeyoregon]

And wear it proudly! You will never see those people again but your memories are forever.

Your post reminded me of a Disney memory. 1st trip to Disney Anaheim with DS 4. By day 2 husband (now ex!) was getting annoyed with the amount of stopping, waiting and posing with characters. So I agreed No More that day. Then out of the clear blue sky, he grabs DS and says, "I want a photo with the character over there". I was pleased and followed quickly...and then my eyes came to rest on Jasmine. The hottest, most beautiful Jasmine ever!! Perfect in all the right areas! No wonder he wanted a photo

Hey, I refer to that "nasty thing" as my table muscle!!

We had a special swimwear moment at Blizzard Beach also. Now, please keep in mind that I am quite fluffy for my 5' 2" body but I also try hard to appropriately cover it. We were climbing the stairs to the Toboggan Slide when we met a 300+ lb gentleman in a speedo. His table muscle hung completely over his speedo so when he was coming at us he appeared to be naked. My boys were speechless!

 

[flortlebap]

You won't offend me at all, but my question is............will the kids confuse you for a Disney Jasmine and try to get your autograph with photo? Just wondering......Have a wonderful time

People are easily confused. My friend was waiting in a character line up wearing dungarees with her hair in long plaits (she is oriental looking) and 2 foreign kids came up, held her hand, and their mom took their photo

I have had one of those moments with the speedo only it was with an englishman after a friends wedding in FL. We all went over to her aunts house for a swim and here he comes in his speedo dancing proudly around the pool singing "Henry the VIII, I AM" it was such a sight until he stepped on a frog and squished it with his bare feet and then his wife told him he had to go inside and sit down.

I have no problem with a little belly showing while dressing like a geenie and all. Its the "fad" styles I think are gross. I mean seriously moms... When your teenage daughters wear skin tight pants that say "JUICY" across the butt cheeks... The guys arent thinking about "Thats a nice brand" and they arent thinking about Juicy Fruit gum either. People can be so nieve sometimes. Mamma always says dont advertise it if it aint for sale! I'm reminded of a mom and daughter couple I saw protesting the banning of JUICY brand in their school on TV. They showed the daughter, she looked like a first class hooker. Her mom was in her late 40s and she looked like a first class hooker dressed like a 16 year old. Good grief. They warn their daughters of how bad boys can be then dress them as bait. Sorry, but someone needed to say it. (putting on my firefighter suit)

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!! When I was buying school clothes for DD6 this summer she needed some new undies and at JCPenney they sell THONGS for her size. I about FLIPPED MY LID!!! Why try to introduce that stuff at such an early age.

It cracks me up when I see a 40+ woman tring to dress like she is 16..especially when they are not TONED... My dad likes to call them "muffins" because when they wear those low rider jeans their gut is hanging over just like a muffin does when you put too much batter in the pan..HAHAHA
