Learn what you need to know on Dress Codes while dining at Walt Disney World. There are only a couple of restaurants inside Disney parks that adhere to a dress code. Plus, learn which Disney restaurant has the strictest dress code and more!

Signature Restaurants

Many of Disney World’s Fine Dining and Signature restaurants adhere to a dress code. However, locations found within Disney parks often do not hold guests to formal attire. Often, park attire (t-shirts, shorts etc.) are acceptable and you will not be turned away with good judgement in mind. For instance, Cinderella’s Royal Table (Magic Kingdom), Tiffins (Animal Kingdom) and The Hollywood Brown Derby (Hollywood Studios) and more do not have listed dress codes. A tip for women, I would pack a cardigan when visiting. Not only will it instantly dress up your outfit, it tends to be cool in restaurants with the air conditioning.

Character Dining

Guests will find casual wear acceptable for many Character Dining experiences. Many adults will dine in their normal park wear. However, for young guests it has become popular to dress up as a Princess, Prince and more. Consider letting your child under 14 years of age wear a costume to your Character Dining experience, for memorable photo opportunities. Guests aged 13 and younger are permitted to wear costumes into Disney parks and dining experiences.
