Disney Dress Code Debate: Guest Shares Outfit That Got Her Kicked Out of Park
A Disneyland Resort guest recently reignited the online conversation about the Disney dress code after she was stopped at park entry for wearing a potentially dangerous article of clothing. The woman shared her experience in a short video on TikTok.
Theme park attire rules first went viral in 2022, when a TikToker amassed millions of views encouraging people to intentionally violate the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort dress code policies to get free clothing. Before the trend went viral, Disney cast members occasionally gifted guests complimentary t-shirts so they didn’t have to return to their hotels or purchase new clothing.
The dress code trend forever changed Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, as both parks cracked down on cast members offering free clothing to guests. Now, Disney Park guests without alternative clothing options must either buy something at the park or return to their hotels to change.
On June 3, TikTok user Milana Sofia (@milanasofiae) shared a video of herself outside the entrance to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. “Just got dress coded at Disney,” the guest wrote, showing off her outfit.

Social media users were surprised that such a normal outfit violated the Disney dress code.
“There’s actually no way,” @alex_mendonsa commented.
“How and why did u get dressed coded at Disneyland?!” @bluemoon2484 asked.
Disneyland Resort’s dress code prohibits costumes and non-medical masks worn by guests 14 and up; “clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics;” “excessively torn clothing or loose fitting clothing which may drag on the ground and create a potential trip hazard;” “clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment;” bare feet; and “visible tattoos that could be considered inappropriate, such as those containing objectionable language or designs.”
At a glance, Milana Sofia’s outfit doesn’t violate any of these dress code policies. However, the rules also state that the list isn’t exhaustive, so some guests may be stopped even if they’ve thoroughly studied the attire policies.
Historically, security has refused entry to guests wearing tube tops or tie-neck shirts because of the risk that they’ll come undone or loosen on intense thrill rides. This is likely the reason the TikToker’s outfit violated the dress code. Disney Park guests are encouraged to wear shirts with fully attached straps to avoid similar delays.
Should Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort update their dress code policies? Disney Dining would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
It’s not Six-Flags, it’s Disney! Dress appropriately. Do better!
It’s good to hear Disney actually does ban guests who wear inappropriate clothing. Why on earth do these girls want to wear such skimpy clothes when the rules are clear. You rarely see men walking around with most of their clothes missing. Women bleat about wanting equality of the sexes but this isn’t the way to go about it.
If she only would have identified as a man they would have let her wear whatever she wanted and probably would have given her a front of the line pass for the day!
I was at disneyworld in may and a lot of young girls wheir wearing this item no one stopped them . So off the skirts wheir that short you could see their pants also.
