| This is probably a really girly thing to ask but it has been concerning me. Basically, what should we wear to the theme parks? I'm used to going on beach holidays where in the daytime you wear bikinis and not much else!!
Thanks in advance

| If its a hot time of year, then shorts tshirts and comfy sandals and plent of sunscreen.
If its a cooler time, I 'layer' so that I can adapt accordingly. Chloe | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | Shorts and t-shirts and comfy shoes. Wouldn't wear jeans as you get soaked and I mean soaked on some of the water rides, nothing worse than wet heavy jeans. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | I am not 100% sure but I seem to remember there being signs up at some or all of the theme parks saying that shirts are required at all times and that bikini tops are not acceptable atire. I only mention this as I know in most hot places this is the sort of clothing that would be deemed acceptable. I am sure that someone else will confirm this. |

| | I also believe this to be the case...no bikini/swimwear...although I have seen one or two young girls taking their tshirts off to reveal bikinis on water rides...but it's not necessary as you usually dry that quickly anyway. All the parks (except water) have signs saying shirts required. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

But they don't say the shirts have to be actually worn. So, as long as you have a shirt with you, you should be all right in a bikini top or whatever. |

| I would point out that if you've never been on this type of holiday before, footwear is more important than you would think. You do an awful lot of walking around the theme parks and while some are comfortable in flip flops or whatever, I've always found that I need trainers. Sandals/flip-flops etc just aren't built for long days where you are walking miles.

seaworld had a big eppy! on my 16 year old daughter and her FCUK tshirt, i posted it on another thread! said she had to turn it inside out! of course she went off on one! my daughters arguement was the dolphins and whales couldnt read!
said that Americans are offended by it, we asked then why sell it??? we bought it over there! |

| Regarding footwear there are some rides that say you must wear shoes.
However when i went on duelling Dragons last year the woman sitting next to me had to sit on her flip-flops otherwise she would have lost them. I tend to wear the kind of sandals that you can get wet, but have straps so you don't lose them on rides where your feet flap around.
I too can not stand wet trainers and my son throws a wobbly if he has to wear them. |

But isn't this a rather difficult law to enforce? If one assumes that a "Bikini Top" is the upper part of a 2-piece female beachwear, what about some of the 'b*** tube' and similar non-beachwear clothes? I saw a lot of women walking around the parks in quite skimpy attire that did not cover a great deal more than a bikini top. The stewards will have to have a list of illustations to tell them what is acceptable and what isn't and even then it won't be simple. |

| I'm glad I read this thread as I will make sure that my eldest son does not wear one of his FCUK tops when going to one of the parks. Would be a real pain if we got there and he couldn't get in because of his T-shirt.  |

Have to admit I have seen someone refused entry into MGM with one of those T-Shirts on, didn't make the connection at the time. I tend to stick to the regulation shorts,Disney T's(don't wear them at home) and comfy trainers! Cas with the shoes alot would depend on your planned day. We always tend to be out ALL day, either parks or shopping, so on my feet alot!! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |
