Here we have another story of a guest receiving a free T-shirt. How did she get this free shirt, you may ask. Well, the reason isn’t exactly the best reason but this trend seems to continue to happen.
Alyssa Schueller, who was visiting EPCOT. She was approached by a Cast member who told her that her top was “inappropriate” for wearing in the parks and escorted her to a nearby shop inside EPCOT.
Miss Schueller’s video has received more than 903,000 views, even though it is from an event that took place over the summer.
While everyone loves the idea of a free shirt at Disney World, was the Cast member justified in asking the Guest to come with her and replace her top? According to Disney World’s park rules concerning attire, it appears she had the grounds on which to address the issue with Miss Schueller.
The Walt Disney World website has this to say concerning what to wear in the parks:
“Disney reserves the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience of other Guests. Attire that is not appropriate for the parks—and which may result in refusal of admittance—includes but is not limited to:
- Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics
- Excessively torn clothing
- Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment
- Clothing that touches or drags on the ground
- Clothing with multiple layers is subject to search upon entry
- Objectionable tattoos”
According to park rules, the Cast member could have even asked this Guest to leave the park completely. She also could have been denied entry to the park that day, if her attire was deemed inappropriate by Disney’s rules.
