If I'm spending time and money to eat at a fine dining establishment, I don't want to be distracted by other guests. A gross generalization, which I have found to be true more often than not, is that people that insist on not dressing appropriately also don't act appropriately.

That being said, I firmly believe in not judging a book by it's cover.

Of course if people are being rowdy then it becomes a distraction, but the dress code and the attitude are not associated in a lot of cases. You can't assume that someone or a group is going to act inappropriate just because of the way they dressed. Like you said, don't judge a book by its cover.

Now, Hardy, I think you need to reread my post before you make assumptions about me, which are erroneous, by the way. You posted you didn't see the point in dress codes. My post included what I thought Disney's point was in having them, besides respect, which pps have already eloquently stated. If you're questioning my analogy between inappropriate behavior and inappropriate attire, well, sorry Hardy, it happens all the time. And let me repeat myself, I believe this is one of Disney's
reasons for a dress code.

The only thing I said about myself was that rules should be enforced, and that I don't want to be distracted by other diners, while fine dining.

I was actually trying to echo what you said with the don't judge a book by its cover. I didn't mean to offend you.. I was talking generally about people as a whole. Not making assumptions about you. I think we're misunderstanding each other here.

I'm not offended. I didn't misunderstand what you wrote, but maybe I misunderstood your intent. Perhaps your writing could better reflect your intent, but then again, maybe mine could too. The problem with forums...no body language or inflection.

Yes. No bad intentions. Wasn't trying to be rude or anything.

hi dontthrowsand,
A suggestion to make room in your suitcase for things you purchase at WDW--pack your oldest sox and underwear and throw them out at the end of each day. That frees up a lot of room!
The same thing can be done with old t-shirts and sweatshirts which can also be donated. Simply leave then folded in a pile with a sign that says "donations" on top when you leave. I have been told that Disney has a place where needy staff members can go and get clothing that has been donated.
