Wearing Kilts at Disney World

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Except I was at Tokyo Disney. Still, no one even batted an eyelid.

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!

I was there kilted in 2012 without any issues, other than being extremely comfortable. Saw Off Kilter in the Canadian Pavillion and rode Soarin. Minnie Mouse liked my kilt as I was getting a family photo with her. Sadly, I saw no other kilt wearers in the park. I wore USAKilts most parks and my Elkommando kilt in Animal Kingdom.

Here's me at the Rose and Crown Pub at EPCOT. I've worn my kilt at all of the parks without any issues. I've ridden all of the rides that I wanted, from Pirates of the Caribbean to Rockin' Rollercoaster with no issues. I would recommend comfortable shoes, no dress guillies, and if it's summer, definitely no jacket and tie. I don't know your preference on undergarments, but considering the getting in and out of awkward ride vehicles, the amount of very young children in the parks, etc., well you know.
I've had many good compliments on our many trips to WDW while wearing my kilt, and will continue to do it in the future.

Last time I was there.......15 yrs about......The section that is for Canada had a piper in full kit. I don't see any issues.

No problems for me at Disneyland in California.

Wear your kilt and get ready to enjoy all of the comments.

Oh yeah, say hello to the big cheese for me while you're there.

I work at Disneyland (the original one, in Anaheim) and I see men in kilts all the time, a couple times a week at least.

I didn't know about those rules. I suppose that they could interpret a kilt as being a 'costume' but evidently they don't.

Nearly all the kilts I see are Utilikilts, which isn't surprising because they're a West Coast thing. Recently I spied a couple tartan kilts, of the Sport Kilt sort. Very rare to see a traditional kilt.

BTW that's a fantastic shirt there, Malt Whisky in the classic Walt Disney font.
