Wearing Kilts at Disney World

**dutchy kilted** · 3rd January 14, 09:02 AM

Went to Universal last Summer with family and was kilted two out of the three days we were in the parks. Only saw one other kilt, and that was on a young butterbeer salesman in the Harry Potter section (he was quite happy to see someone else properly attired, as he put it.) I was approached, however, by a security guard who very discretely asked me if I was regimental. For those two days I was not, and he said thank you and that he liked the kilt.

Remember you are talking about DISNEY WORLD here. The Disney parks are the most accommodating folks you are likely to meet. So wearing a kilt should be no issue whatsoever. Don't believe me on how accommodating they are? Take someone in a wheelchair with you and you'll see how wonderful Disney cast members can be. I wish the rest of the world was as easy.

The only thing that has kept me from wearing a kilt to Disneyland are the water rides. Not sure I want to walk around the park smelling like a wet sheep for half of the day!

Enjoy your trip and have a great time in Florida.

Wow, that sure is true.
Go. Kilt up, and have fun.

I can't imagine they would have any issues, just so long as you wore more than shoes and socks underneath... Be sure to wear it to the World Showcase in Epcot and visit the U.K. exhibit. The Rose and Crown Pub serves Macallan single malts ;)
Have a great time!

Thanks OC Richard.
It's a little hard to read the bottom line; "The happiest drink on Earth!"
Just before the picture with the Mouse, Mickey pointed at my shirt and gave me a thumbs-up. So did a few other cast members that day.
Truth be told, I was worried about being asked to leave the park due to the shirt rather than the kilt.

They've been changing their 'special needs' policy at Disneyland, however.

Sadly, perfectly healthy people who feel the need to abuse Disneyland's special-needs-friendly policies have made it necessary to make some changes. I'm not sure about the details, but I was talking to the mother of a special needs child who now has to wait in line for an hour or more rather than go directly onto the ride as formerly. She said she understands the need to do it.

I saw a group of teenagers exiting Space Mountain a while back. One was in a wheelchair with her entire leg in a cast. The whole group, six or seven kids, had all got to go directly on the ride without waiting in line by going in the 'handicapped' entrance. Well, after they exited the ride the girl in the wheelchair jumped up, took off her phony cast (held on with Velcro) and said "OK, whose turn now?"

I was dumbfounded and immediately reported them to Security. They were tracked down and thrown out of the park.

Cool! I for one gave a thumbs up when I saw a guest wearing one.

BTW that font, I believe, is copyrighted, and it is illegal to sell for profit anything using that font without the permission of Disney. However I see it every day used on shirts like "Jones Family Vacation Disneyland 2013" and nobody ever seems to get in trouble for it.

I believe you are right...The place that I got this shirt for a friend was gone when I went back a month later to get mine...It is gone now but replaced by another one...They just pop up as fast as Disneys' lawyers can shut them down. If you or anyone else wants one, they're only as far a an internet search away.
