    I do remember reading that somebody wearing a FCUK - (French Connection UK, incase you think I'm being rude[:O]) was made to turn it inside out, so even slightly risque slogans appear to be a definite no-no

    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.

    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.

    I have found the best footware for parks is Teva sandals. They are great for walking, have good straps for staying on and let your feet breath.

    It is true - they will not admit you to the parks if you are (un)dressed like this. If they spot anyone in the park like this they will be escorted out of the park unless they can put a shirt on immediately.

    Also any t-shirts or anything that may be deemed offensive to any guest will not be allowed. In the first instance they make you put the t-shirt on inside out and if this does not work you will not be allowed admittance.

    We were told all about these rules on our Keys To The Kingdom tour of the MK. They are very strict on these with no exceptions.

    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.

    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.[msnscared][msnsmile]
