No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service??

[crazypoohbear]

At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, I think that a sense of propriety is one of the important things that sets the WDW parks apart from other theme parks. I'm not a prude, but I do wish that people would have the good sense to take a look at their surroundings and understand that their sensibilities might not be appropriate for that particular location. It's really just a question of good manners.

I'm not even a man but I get grumpy seeing some of the things that pass for clothing at disney.
My youngest son STILL recalls a few years back riding back to the hotel one night.
There was a "lady" riding accross from him. We hit a big bump and she "popped out" of her top. MY son's eyes popped out of his head.
The "lady" gathered up her bits and pieces and stuffed everything back where it belonged.
Now I know I AM a prude but if you are wearing a top that you can easily "fall out" of and you have no undergarments on then perhaps it's not a good choice for a FAMILY themepark

I have to agree totally! Disney is for famlies!! During our last trip in Dec 06 DH and DDs were on EE (I'm a big chicken but that's another story) and we had wanted to purchase the picture of them on the EE. The picture of DH and DDs looked great until DH pointed out the lady right in front of them and asked me "Do you really want that hanging in our living room??? Her top did not cover much. We were so bummed !!

Sorry, but I'm a little bit confused. Is it appropriate for my DD6 to wear one piece swimsuit during the Kali River ride or on the water play area in Ariel's Grotto? We always did this but after this discussion I'm

Given that your daughter is 6 and it's a one piece that I'm assuming covers all her bits and pieces I would say that this is fine. If she were 16 wearing a bikini with her parts hanging out, then I would have an issue with it.

She would be fine at Kali.

I think you always have to remember there are children around-

Bikini tops are great for me to look at but i wouldnt want my kids to see it- and actually many times the people who wear them, should not be wearing them.

Its always good to think of others when you select your clothes. But many people do not-

it works the other way too-
I always have a laugh when i see person sweating in June with a sports jacket on going on thunder mountain....
Or people who wear dress shoes to the park? why?

I dated a girl once who wore highheels to WDW-
after 45minutes she said- my feet hurt can we go ?
Obviously we didnt date long

Yes this is fine- but if you grandmother decided to wear her bra as a bikini, then it would be an issue.

I get the rules about shirts and shoes, by why not pants? I mean, I find not having pants on a little more offensive.

I guess they can't enforce this rule since Donald and Pooh don't wear pants.

No, because Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Studios are *NOT* water parks. Yes, there are water *rides* and the play areas, but *in* the theme parks (and on their attractions), swimsuits are NOT permitted.

Jim, If this is not permitted how come we never see cast members speaking to the "guilty" parties?
I don't see a problem if the parents bring a swim suit for the kiddies and change them into it to play and get wet then change them back into their dry clothes.
I have issuses with the adults walking around in the bikini tops or worst bras letting everything hang out. It is NOT estetically pleasing to the eyes :ack.

So, what's the verdict... as someone who has had "issues" with management do you know why don't they inforce this policy throughout the parks?
Seems like in general either CM's, or Management are picking and chosing which rules and policies to inforce.

For men, I'm pretty sure in the regular theme parks it's definitely no shoes, no shirt, no service.

I have seen women in the park wearing bikini tops, though. Not that I particularly encourage it, but I've seen it. No clue what the exact rules on that are, though.

For the waterparks, I've never worn shoes. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think water shoes are allowed on most of the slides. You could probably wear them in the pools, though.

First..every Six Flags i've ever been to was basically a nudist colony

2nd...Men must wear shirts at all times and CMs do enforce this. With women its a little tougher because they sometimes where skimpier tops, but if its obviously a bikini they are told to cover up

I’ve tried wearing a bikini top once and the guard stopped me and said “Sir shirts are required inside the park” I was sooooooooooo embarrassed.

Too funny! Thanks for taking me to my laughing place...
