Wearing Kilts at Disney World

[sorcererdale]

I will be going to Walt Disney World in Florida this summer and Harry Potter world at Universal Studios and I was wondering if they have any rules about wearing a kilt? Has any one been there and wore a kilt? Any thing to watch out for or be prepared for? I know this may have been answered or talked about before, but they might be older posts and I wanted current information. Thanks.

I think it has, but as a quick response, leave your sghian at home.

I never did have one so that's no problem.

Take some bug repellant. Florida in the summer is a buggy, humid place.

Be prepared to possibly be denied access to some rides/attractions where your mode of dress may be considered either hazardous or potentially inappropriate.

Wore mine at Disneyland in both February and November this year. Just left the Sghian Dhu in the car! NO issues of ANY kind! Rode every ride I could fit into the day.

Precisely, Scott.

I wonder if they would deny a woman in a skirt or dress.

I've been to Six Flags in Springfield MA and Hershey Park in PA and wore my kilt. Kilts are not an issue anywhere and I was regimental. The water rides were not a problem, and the roller-coaster was of no concern. I even went on the flying swingy thing, so just have fun. Most people are in a good mood so expect compliments.

They don't and I doubt they would object to the kilted gentleman. I've seen plenty of women in skirts of all lengths from maxi/prairie dresses to blue-jean mini-skirts on all rides. My wife works at a non-Disney theme park and knows of no such prohibition for their rides.

I believe they are happy to have your business and it's your business to keep your business to yourself. Women are not allowed to expose themselves and I imagine you would be held to the same standard.

If there's a Brave ride you might even be sent to the front of the line!

But I also found this at http://www.wdwinfo.com/tips_for_touring/dress-code.htm :

Disney World Theme Park Dress Code

Disney World Guest Appearance Guidelines
Disney World reserves the right to exclude visitors to their gated attractions who wear clothing that could create a distraction. This policy is in effect at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Pleasure Island and Disney Quest.

Examples of unacceptable attire includes:

• Clothing displaying offensive messages/language
• Adult costumes or clothing that can be viewed as a costume (children under age 10 are excluded)
• Clothing made with offensive material, (ie transparent)
• Clothing that is excessively torn
• Clothing which exposes inappropriate portions of the body such as string bikini tops, G-strings, bikini bottoms, etc.
• Guests wearing wedding attire are discouraged from entering the Theme Parks.

All Disney Theme Park guests are required to wear shirts and shoes at all times. Swimsuit tops are allowed when worn with other appropriate clothing.

Disney's Pleasure Island, Disney Quest, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon have other criteria in place which may vary from the general appearance guidelines. Depending on the venue and event, variations may be acceptable.

There's nothing there I would take to mean they wouldn't let me in but if you are uncomfortable with guessing I'm sure their customer service will answer definitively. Enjoy!
