Disney is just sooo expensive these days! (I grew up next to Disneyland in So. Cal.) But we still go. Next time will be kilted. (not any time soon for me, though... work interferes)

That's only if you work there. No beards, and moustaches aren't supposed to go past the end of your mouth on each side (no Fu Man Chu style).

Guests can have beards like ZZ Top, and often do.

I work at Disneyland (the original one in California) and I see kilts all the time. Just day before yesterday in fact, a guy with a shiny black Utilikilt. We see them so often that they don't engender much reaction from anybody.

From what I see (tens of thousands of the "general public" every day) Utilikilts are very popular here on the Left Coast. I see dozens of Utilikilts for every traditional kilt. Usually the Utilikilt wearers are young men from the Pacific Northwest.

About Disneyland being expensive, yes it's amazing how much ticket prices have gone up from when I started there ($15). Any Xmarkers visiting Anaheim contact me and I'll probably be able to hook you up.

Last time I was in Anaheim was World's Strongest Man 2007 - initially it was going to be held at Universal Studios (like the original 1977-1979 World's Strongest Man) but Disney cancelled at the last minute and we held the entire televised competition in the parking lot of the Anaheim Hilton, Venice Beach (for the car walk and stones), and some really ritzy golf course on the PCH (for the carry medley and safe lift).

I envy your weather...

realy don't want to derail this post too much, but Universal Studios isn't owned by Disney

I was quite surprised to find that you can buy demon rum (well, alcohol of some sort) at restaurants in Disneyland's California Adventure, Anaheim. Growing up in SoCal, I knew that the only place alcohol was allowed inside the D'land gates was in a very private club for the likes of founding investors. (You could, of course, take the Monorail to the D'land Hotel's pricey bar and then ride back!) Not sure if D'land proper has any liquor service these days but they have changed with the times, to a certain extent.

I'm planning on taking my kids to WDW this year and I will most definitely be kilted.

Minor clarification: guest dress code. That "could be considered a costume" line is quite open to interpretation. . .

A couple years a go a gentleman who is also works as a “real bearded” Santa Claus was visiting Disney Land. As I understand it he was wearing some red, probably just shirt or pants. Not a Santa suit by any means just some Santa-ish colors. At some point it was reported he let out a traditional Ho Ho Ho for which he was asked to Immediately leave the park.
