Influencer Ka’Neisha Collins says a Magic Kingdom cast member told her to change out of a Tiana-inspired corset. She refused. Here’s her side, and what Disney’s dress code says.
A princess-inspired outfit has turned into one of the most argued-about Disney World videos of the week.
Influencer Ka’Neisha Collins has more than 350,000 followers on Instagram. She says a Magic Kingdom cast member asked her to change out of a green corset inspired by Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Disney Fanatic first reported her video Thursday, Oct. 15, and Inside the Magic followed Sunday, Oct. 18.
Collins didn’t change. She kept touring the park and posted about it, and the comments haven’t calmed down since.
What happened to the Tiana outfit at Magic Kingdom?
By Collins’ count, at least eight guests complimented her outfit that day. Then an older cast member walked up and asked if she had another shirt or outfit to change into, she said in her video.
“You can’t wear this,” the cast member told her, according to Collins.
“How come?” Collins said she replied. “Everybody else has on corsets... I’ve seen about five people wearing corsets.”
Collins said the explanation was about her figure. “She said, ‘You’re too heavy at the top. You need to change,’” Collins recalled.
She said she can’t help how she was built. She stayed in the outfit and said she planned to keep exploring the park in it.
Did Disney make her leave the park?
It doesn’t look that way. Nothing suggests the cast member called security, and Collins doesn’t appear to have been asked to change again the rest of the day.
Disney hasn’t commented publicly on her video.
What does the Disney World dress code say?
Some rules are clear-cut, while many come down to a cast member’s judgment. Walt Disney World’s official property rules start with the basics.
“Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times. Clothing that drags on the ground is prohibited in theme parks and water parks,” the rules say.
The key line comes next. Disney can “deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that we consider inappropriate,” the rules say. That includes attire “that could detract from the experience of other Guests.”
The rules don’t spell out a list of tops or necklines. That leaves calls like this one to the cast member on duty.
Is a Disneybound outfit a costume at Disney World?
In most cases, no. Disney bans costumes for guests 14 and older, outside special events like the Halloween parties, which have their own costume rules.
A costume generally means an outfit so close to a character that other guests might mistake you for a cast member, Inside the Magic explained. Collins’ look was closer to a Disneybound, an everyday outfit that borrows a character’s colors and style.
That makes this a question of what counts as “inappropriate.”
Why does Collins say she was singled out?
She says it’s her body. In a follow-up video, wearing the same outfit, Collins answered a commenter who said she was dressing oddly for a kids’ park.
“I’m dressed as Princess Tiana,” she said. “If you look at Princess Tiana’s dress, she also has a strapless dress on, the same way I do. I’m just more top-heavy.”
“I don’t feel my outfit is inappropriate,” she added. She argued that a woman with a smaller bust could wear the exact same thing and nobody would say a word.
Collins also said Black women get policed for their clothing more harshly than other women. “If y’all find this weird, it’s because the problem is you,” she said.
She wore a similar corset for a Moana-inspired look at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. In the comments, she said no one asked her to change that time.
What are people saying about the Disney dress code video?
Commenters split hard. Many sided with the cast member and said the outfit wasn’t right for a family vacation spot.
One commenter called the outfit “cute, but not appropriate for the venue,” while adding that the worker “should have chosen her words better.”
Others backed Collins. They said they’d seen plenty of women in similar tops at Disney and argued the rule should apply to everyone or no one.
What should you know before dressing up for Disney World?
Disney has the final say. The rules give cast members room to decide what’s inappropriate, and that call can vary from park to park and day to day.
If you’re planning a Disneybound, keep the costume rules in mind. Disney’s full property rules are posted on the Walt Disney World website.
