skirts on DL rides

is it appropriate to wear a skirt to DL, DCA in regards to going on rides - ie when going on roller coasters do the harnesses that strap you in go over your head and shoulders or between your knees?

thank you!

The one thing that was brought to mind by your question is if the person wearing the skirt is a small girl and you choose to bring her on Soarin%26#39; over California in DCA - there is a height requirement that they (the children) have to meet, otherwise, there is a strap that goes between their legs to keep them safely on the ride when the chairs lift from the floor.

For women or girls who want the best of all worlds, there are skorts, sometimes called culottes, which have leg divisions like pants but are looser and therefore airier than pants and drape a little like a skirt. You can have comfort, modesty, more feminine appearance, and safety in the rides all in one piece of clothing.

My girls weear skirts/dresses quite often as do I and the only ride that is really an issue is the Orange Stinger at CA. The strap on Soaring is fine, just hike the skirt up a bit.

I like the idea of a skort. Here we have some jean shorts that either have a skirt around them to make them into a skort or have a sort of wrap flap in front to give the shorts some flair and make them really cute. I don%26#39;t know if that type of style is sold world wide, but if you don%26#39;t have anything like that you can probably find in on Target%26#39;s website.

Now, to answer your question of appropriateness. I don%26#39;t think a skirt is appropriate because for a least a few rides I can think of you will not be able to get into and out of them in a lady like manner. (Which is why I like the idea of a skort better.) It%26#39;s up to you if you want to be mindful of how you look when getting onto a ride. Also, unless you have reserved seating for Fantasmic you will be sitting on the ground which is a lot easier on you in shorts. And when waiting to see the fireworks it is likely that you will be standing in the middle of the street, if you choose to see them from in from of the Castle. Most people tire of standing, especially for an hour or so and sit down on the ground. Depending on how busy it is and where you are, you could have a limited area to sit down in and you may even have people trying to walk over you to find a spot. If your skirt is even half way nice it could get ruined. I think blue jeans skorts are a good alternative to a skirt under these circumstances. The parades are another problem with a skirt, since you may be sitting on a curb. Again, sort of a challenging posture to remain ladylike.

You may also want to consider what type of footwear you will wear. Cute shoes with even a short heel are probably not going to make you feel good or be safe in some instances. Wedgies might be okay. Flip flops or open toed sandals without much support may make your feet ache after awile and sometimes people are not very careful about avoided other people%26#39;s feet in a crowd.

IMHO, a skirt (and even nice shoes) for a limited amount and limited activity of time at DLR will probably be comfortable, otherwise no. I see a few women wearing skirts/dresses when the swing bands play at DL, and some women in saris, but that%26#39;s about it.

For a little girl, I think they are fine as long as they a comfy in them (especially sitting on the ground) and wear good shoes.

When I was in my teens are schools had a rule that girls had to wear dresses and my parents made me wear a dress a couple of times to Disneyland. When I gradutated high school and we had our Grad Nite Party at Disneyland, girls had to wear dresses. Actually, we were the first graduating class allowed to wear ';pantsuits'; I think. I was really uncomfortable in my mini - dress!

thanks for all your replies. i have heard of skorts but hadn%26#39;t thought about them for this instance. definetly something to consider. i will be wearing comfy shoes as i know i will be on my feet all day.
