In the early 80s, I arrived at Disneyland wearing a shirt my wife got for me at “Big Weenie,” a popular fast food stand in Hollywood back in the day.

The shirt featured the stand’s logo—a Vargas-type woman with arms and legs straddling a giant, semi-crescent hot dog. It also featured the stand’s slogan: “Big Weenies Are Better.”

No sooner had I gone through the turnstile than I was politely greeted by a well-dressed Disneyland security person who politely told me he would not permit me to enter the Magic Kingdom wearing that “Big Weenie” shirt.

I was welcome to change into a different shirt, if I had one with me in the car. Or, my wife could enter the park and buy a Disneyland shirt that would fit me. But he wasn’t going to allow me to take one step further with that shirt on.

I didn’t argue the point. I went back to my car and put on a long-sleeved shirt I happened to bring along. He thanked me. I thanked him. Problem solved.

My, how Disney’s standards have fallen.

Yes. See my post 33. They used to have a zero tolerance policy. Now your whole family coould get in wearing those shirts.

It sounds like you were trolling for just that reaction. Why did you have an “extra” shirt in the car? You must have “subconsciously” thought there would be a problem and prepped for it. Which means you shouldn’t have done it in the first place.
