‘I wore a cute outfit to Disney – but people say it’s inappropriate’ | USA | News

A Disney-obsessed woman was left stunned after her outfit, which was deemed ‘inappropriate’ by some, caused a stir at Disney World.

Although recognized as “the happiest place on earth,” Disney World in Florida enforces strict rules, including a specific dress code for theme park visitors. The internet has seen a spate of viral incidents where guests were stopped at the entrance to the park’s Magic Kingdom and asked to cover up because of their choice of clothing.

Jessie May recently visited the famous site wearing a vibrant red T-shirt, accessorized with a white bag, classic Mickey ears and red and white low gingham shorts. Her ensemble received mixed reactions – while it garnered some praise, others questioned its suitability for the family-friendly park, with one person comparing her shorts to a “diaper” and another asking bluntly: “Is this a diaper?”

Another criticized her for “acting like a stripper” after uploading a video of herself in various Disney-themed outings from her home. Following these comments, Jessie shared more images of her traversing the Magic Kingdom in her controversial shorts and T-shirt combination, sparking debate over whether her look was indeed inappropriate for the location.

One respondent expressed surprise, saying, “Yes, they do. I was actually shocked at how many people dress like this at Disney. I thought they were strict on a dress code, but it doesn’t seem like they have one at all. .”

“It’s just the shorts,” one person commented. Another chimed in: “You can’t deny it’s getting a bit much, but hey, so are you.”

One person thought it was “definitely” inappropriate, while another suggested that “the shorts might be pushing it.” However, Jessie received an outpouring of support from those who saw no problem with her clothing. “It’s shorts and a top, what’s wrong with people?” one asked.

“I’ve seen people wear much worse clothes at Disney,” another added. Another user commented: “To be honest, I don’t understand the problem. They’re just legs, not like walking around naked. All the essentials are covered.”

A fellow mum said: “I wore the exact same outfit with my two-year-old daughter. Slay girl.” Jessie, a regular visitor to Walt Disney World for 15 years and a former summer employee at the parks, addressed the backlash in a follow-up video.

She said: “Who would have thought that wearing shorts and a T-shirt to Disney would cause such a stir? People are so mad at me for this outfit.”

The Disney College program alumni clarified: “It says things like ‘no overly torn clothing,’ which, again, my clothes had no tears, ‘no clothes with swear words on them or anything offensive,’ which again is red gingham outfit was , so nothing like that.”

She continued: “But I think what they’re talking about is the bit that says, ‘You shouldn’t show too much skin’ – I was obviously wearing a top that went to the top of my neck and sleeves, but that stops just above my belly button. And then I wear low-rise shorts that cover everything completely. “I had my legs out and my stomach out, so if that’s what excessive amounts of skin means, then I’m really sorry.”

Jessie explained that while working at Disney World, she saw many others wearing outfits similar to hers. She also pointed out in the sweltering Florida heat that skimpy clothing is often a choice made for comfort.

What does Disney actually say about dress codes?

It recommends comfortable clothing and sensible footwear, with an emphasis on appropriate clothing at all times, including shirts and shoes. A Disney representative emphasized this, saying, “Ensuring that the parks are family-friendly is an important part of the Disney experience. In that spirit, we ask that you use your discretion and common sense.”

Additionally, “Disney reserves the right to deny admission or remove any individual wearing clothing that is deemed inappropriate or clothing that could detract from the experience of other guests,” which adds a new layer to their policy adds.

Guests 14 years or older are not allowed to wear costumes and costume masks. Other unacceptable clothing includes clothing with offensive material such as obscene language or images, excessively ripped garments, outfits that expose an excessive amount of skin deemed inappropriate for a family setting, clothing that touches or drags on the ground, and clothing with multiple layers which can be searched upon entry.

Offensive tattoos are also not allowed.
