first time visiting Disney since I was like 3, and wow... the "don't wear the band's t-shirt to the concert" rule REALLY doesn't apply here does it

We did our first ever visit last year with our two kids and... no, no it does not. Kids had a Disney outfit and ears for every day and they were not remotely out of place.

Is it true that they even wear the band's ears? That's a little much I think.

Wait, that’s a rule? I don’t think I’ve ever been to a concert where people weren’t wearing band merch

My entire memory of Disney world trip when I was 5: I saw a big turtle.

Dude there are some SHIRTS at Disney. A stunning variety as far as the eye can see.

Disneyland or World? Because—shockingly—the shirts are more unhinged in Florida.

Went to a Batchelor party in Disney, we all wore matching shirts saying “She Wants The D” (D in the Disney font of course). Got so many dirty looks whenever I walked off from the group.

FWIW that rule doesn't even apply to concerts anymore. Young people apparently never got that memo.

Thankfully Disney finally cracked down on the Disney Social Clubs that wear biker gang outfits www.npr.org/sections/the...

Lawsuit Alleges Mafia-Like Tactics Aimed At A Disneyland Social Club

Like an oddly wholesome motorcycle gang, members wear denim vests festooned with Disney trading pins on the front. Some members sport tattoos of Walt Disney himself.

Just went last weekend. My son (11, autistic, developmentally challenged) was wearing a Disney shirt with a hole and he tore it apart. We asked a cast member where a store was and she walked us to one and handed us a shirt for him, no charge. Things like that are why I appreciate that place.

I went last year for the first time since the late 80s. There’s a whole new second park next to Disneyland. Wild

I went to Hong Kong Disney a couple years ago because a friend works there. Goofy speaking Mandarin sounds unbelievably racist.

A lot closer to sports than music. At least in that way.

Say one were to buy a Disney shirt while at Disney. Where the hell else would you wear it and not get made fun of?

Any denim-biker-jackets with weird "gang" names on them? "The Real Boys?" "Pixar Army?" "Forty Thieves?" More of a Disneyland thing. Adults are weird.

Ehrmagerd…

From Elsewhere on the Internets Today...
So, when I went to Disney World during SHOT '02, I went to the Haunted Mansion. The place gave me the creeping willies as a kid and I'm not a hundred percent sure I kept my eyes open the whole way through the last time I'd been there as a young teenager, so I was looking forward to seeing my childhood spooks and bugbears with grownup eyes.

There's the preliminary wander in that gets increasingly creepy until you wind up in the big room that's actually an elevator. And the narrator is doing his thing as the floor starts to lower and the ceiling gets higher and the lights dim...and then go out. There's a crack of thunder and, in a flash of simulated lightning in the dark, you see the dead body hanging above you on the other side of the painted cheesecloth scrim of the ceiling.

And this kid that was in the room with us just Lost. His. Shit. I don't mean he whimpered, cried, or yelled. I mean that this ululating, Lovecraftian "Had-His-Sanity-Blasted-From-His-Mind" noise came air-raid-sirening from the kid and he and his folks had to be discreetly herded out a side entrance rather than board the ride.

Definitely set the tone for the rest of the ride.

May I add that the most stunning part were the accessories and apparel that could ONLY CONCEIVABLY be worn while at the park? As in, you have a section of your closet for this??

Is calling it "Disney" vs Disneyland/Disneyworld an East coast/West coast thing?

My husband wasn't getting that I owned Disney stock until we went to the park and saw all of the "Disney adults". As we left, he said "never sell that stock"...
