‘I got dress coded at Disney – people say I should’ve known my outfit was inappropriate’

Ashley Aiello jumped on the TikTok app to ask her followers whether there was a valid reason for her being dress-coded on one of her frequent visits to Disney World, Florida

A mum has slammed a Disney theme park for being “dress-coded”, and took to TikTok for support – but didn’t get the response she expected from her viewers.

Ashley Aiello jumped on the app to ask her followers whether there was a valid reason for her being dress-coded on one of her frequent visits to Disney World, Florida.

The TikToker headed to the park to take product photos for her online shop, while donning a Minnie Mouse-themed headband paired with a turquoise floor-length gown.

But the outfit turned out to be against the rules, as the mum explained: “I go to Disney between one and three times a year.

“So me being the extra person that I am, I got a ball gown to take in front of the Disneyland Castle for product photos with my daughter.

“It was just a ball gown, I’ve seen a lot of influencers taking pictures with ball gowns, I’ve done it before at Disney World. I really didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.”

But while Ashley insisted she wore “nothing crazy” in the video, which has gained more than 231,000 likes, her followers disagreed and believed that she should have known better.

One user commented: “‘Nothing crazy’ your dress looks like a Disney princess dress.”

Another wrote: “You can’t look like one of the characters as it’s against the rules. Too long to explain but one reason is kidnappers.”

A third added: “Unfortunately floor length gowns are against the rules.”

A fourth said: “That dress is so puffy! It can get caught up in between the rails of an attraction. I think that’s the main problem!”

Disney’s regulations clearly state that anyone over the age of 14 is not allowed to wear costumes or any “clothing that touches or drags on the ground”.
