Disney adults furious over ‘little known' dress code rule: ‘The magic got gatekept'
TikTok creator and Disney fan, Phoebe Parsons, took to social media to question what the go was with the dress code rule in place for teens and adults, after stumbling on the rule online.
'Disney on Ice, you have some explaining to do,' she captioned the clip.
With a backdrop of the fine print, Phoebe points out that Disney On Ice audience members are not permitted to wear a costume if they're over the age of 14 years.
It was a rule that she not only didn't know about until now, but also was shocked (and a little offended) to see it.
Why can't adults dress up too?
Speaking to Kidspot, Phoebe said that the rule felt a little restrictive for Disney fans, who love to dress up as their favourite character at any chance they get.

'Honestly, it just felt like a bit of the magic got gatekept,' she said.
'Do I think adults should be able to dress up with their kids? Within reason, yes. If a mum or a big sister wants to wear a matching Elsa cape, why not? It's harmless fun. The world's heavy enough, let people do things that fill them with joy. Even if it's wearing a tiara at 35,' she added.
When Phoebe shared the video on TikTok, she was met with a mixed response.
Some were equally shocked to see it.
'The audacity, right? I was offended too,' one person commented.
'THE DISRESPECT! Like I wanted to go for my BIRTHDAY and you bet your *** I was going to get dressed up,' another added.
'Actually cried when I saw this. I want to be Elsa,' another fan shared.
Disney on Ice's rule of entry explained
The costume rule for older audience members is clearly explained on the Disney on Ice website's FAQ page under 'inappropriate attire.'
'Costumes are not permitted for guests 14 years and older,' the website reads.
And that's not all, there were plenty of other restrictions placed on guest clothing too.
'Feld Entertainment and its affiliates reserve the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience of other guests,' the explanation continues.
Attire that is not appropriate and which may result in refusal of admittance includes, but is not limited to:
Costumes and costume masks, which may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older
Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics
Excessively torn clothing
As stated above, clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment
Clothing that touches or drags on the ground
Obscene or profanity tattoos
Parents should be thankful, not offended
Along with those shocked followers, many others who stumbled on the video said they already knew about the rule and respected that it was in place for good reason.

In fact, if parents dug a little deeper, they'd appreciate what it's there for.
'It's a safety rule. So children don't walk off with strangers dressed as princesses. You can still have fun, but it is important to keep children safe from people who might want to hurt them,' someone clarified.
'You can dress up, just not wear a costume, it's to stop adults being confused as staff, it really is a safety measure to protect children from possible unsafe people pretending to be staff,' another added.
Others highlighted that this rule wasn't just for Disney on Ice, but rather a general 'Disney' rule that is also enforced at their parks.
4 'Feld Entertainment and its affiliates reserve the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience of other guests,' the rules continue.
'I honestly think it's the same as the Disney parks, where they have the guidelines in place for a reason because a lot of kids will mistake people for staff or the paid princesses, and so it's just to keep things safe.'
It's called 'Disney Bounding'
At times like this, fans in the know resort to what has been dubbed as 'Disney Bounding' – a phenomenon where adults can still pay tribute to their favorite characters without having to completely dress up.
Fans are free to add a subtle little something from items they already own that resembles something that their favorite character has or represents.
Think, a yellow skirt for Belle from Beauty and the Beast, or a polkadot dress as a nod to Minnie Mouse.
Disney Bounding allows fans to celebrate without confusing little ones about who they really are.
4 Disney on Ice fans have been shocked to discover a 'little-known' rule that is in place for their shows around the world.
Paul Martinka
While she completely respects why the rule is in place, TikTok creator Phoebe is still saddened that so many fans are restricted in the way that they can attend a fun outing with their kids.
'I totally understand and support policies around child safety (100% for it),' she told Kidpsot.
'But for a lot of people, dressing up isn't about being creepy or inappropriate, it's about nostalgia, bonding, and leaning into joy.'

Jellycat Cuts U.K. Stockists Amid Brand Control Debate
Jellycat, the British-born viral soft toy company, sparked a social media backlash when it dropped approximately 100 independent stockists in the U.K. Disgruntled retailers, some of which had supported the brand for over twenty years, took to social media to share how devastated they were to receive nonpersonalized letters informing them that Jellycat had dropped them. The public backlash was severe, with Jellycat receiving numerous negative comments on its Trustpilot account and across social media. A Jellycat spokesperson said via email, 'We have been humbled by our recent growth and are working hard to supply our stockists of all sizes – small and big - in a way that is fair and reasonable'. Will this backlash cause the brand lasting damage? And with other viral toys on the scene, how long will Jellycat's growth last? The Rise Of Jellycat Jellycat was founded in 1999 by two brothers, Thomas and William Gatacre. In 2008, the Amuseables range launched, featuring inanimate objects with smiling faces and dangly limbs. The Amuseables' success sparked intense growth, with Jellycat turning over an estimated £200 million by 2023. The brand also enjoyed immense popularity on social media, with fan accounts springing up especially on TikTok. 'Jellycat hunts,' where fans would go from store to store to discover rare or limited edition characters, became a trend in their own right. The brand took a distinct move towards more premium positioning with the launch of themed pop-ups in late 2023. Partnering with FAO Schwarz in the US to create a diner experience, Galeries Lafayette in Paris with a patisserie, and Selfridges in London to offer fish and chips, the pop-ups combined exclusive Jellycats with fun and theatre to create experiences that sold out months in advance, showcasing the brand's creativity and Darker Side Of Jellycat's Growth With rapid growth and soaring popularity came new issues. Along with the growing issue of Jellycat thefts, current and former stockists cited that stock began to become a significant issue at the beginning of 2025. Jellycat also made other significant changes to its wholesale model at the beginning of the year, replacing independent sales agents with an in-house team. Stockists had to order stock from a list sent by email, and if they didn't open the email in time, they missed their chance. Several former and existing stockists gave comments via email for this article, many speaking anonymously, mindful of their relationship with the brand. Stock availability was a common theme that came up in almost every conversation. They mentioned issues such as 'no stock', 'no information as to when the stock might be coming in,' and 'backorders cancelled without notice'. Letters That Cut 100 U.K. Jellycat Stockists Then came the letters. These were not personalized, but addressed to 'Dear Jellycat Stockist'. Jellycat divided the stockists into three camps. Some received an 'official Jellycat' stockist letter and accompanying window sticker. Others were informed that Jellycat would help them attain 'official stockist' status in 2026 by working on their 'Jellycat experience', yet the letters gave no clear criteria for what a 'good' experience looked like. The letters informed others, including Georgie Stewart, co-founder of Stewarts of Bakewell, a gift, card, and party shop in the Peak District, England, that they were no longer stockists and should not place any more orders as Jellycat would not fulfill them. Stewart, who had stocked Jellycat for over twenty years, was devastated. 'We have cried over this,' she said. A Jellycat spokesperson said via email: 'We are big supporters of small business stockists and today there are over 1,200 independent stores across the UK stocking Jellycat. They've been the backbone of our business for over two decades… Our hope is that slightly reducing our stockists by 8% will help us to give better service to the remaining 92%, so they can offer their customers the best possible Jellycat experience. We are very sorry about this and the hurt it has caused… we just did not feel we had a better option.'Jellcat's Strategy The message from Jellycat is clear - this shift was all related to stock. 'With the constant increase in demand for our soft toys continuing to mean there is limited supply, unfortunately, we're not able to support every shop that wants to stock Jellycat… We are also increasing supply as fast as we can without compromising our high quality and production standards.' However, it seems likely that there is also an element of brand positioning at play. In 2022, during rapid growth, Jellycat appointed a new CEO, Arnauld Meyselle, from Ren Skincare. At Ren Skincare, he focused on establishing the brand as more sustainable, away from mass-market beauty, and towards a more premium positioning. The Jellycat moves, and recent marketing activities such as the viral pop-ups suggest that the brand wants to position itself as more premium and consolidate its retailer base. The fact that Jellycat brought the sales team in-house and changed the way orders are placed also speaks to its aim of driving efficiencies and managing costs as the business continues to grow. As Therese Oertenblad, a wholesale expert, shares, 'in my 17 years, I've never seen a brand reshuffle its stockists in this way. It's undoubtedly a short-sighted attempt to cut costs by having fewer people to deal with.'Jellycat's Communication Style Ultimately, controlling costs, improving efficiencies, and protecting the brand are solid and understandable business decisions. The issue with Jellycat is partly what they did, but mostly how they did it. Jellycat is a brand known for spreading joy and fun, as one stockist put it, 'a little bit of fluffy joy to lighten my customers' day.' By sending nonpersonalized letters to people who had spent thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of dollars over the years, the brand acted inconsistently with its joyful, fun image. PR expert Fiona Minett adds, 'There was no empathy, no transparency, and that erodes trust.' While Jellycat has issued public apologies, as of the time of writing, no direct apologies have been made to the cut businesses. The treatment of these stockists has caused a negative backlash and bad feelings on social media from people who feel that the brand is turning its back on the shops that helped build the business to where it is next for Jellycat Ultimately, the Jellycat story is a stark reminder that even a fast-growing, viral product will not make a brand immune to a negative backlash. It highlights the importance of the relationship between brands and the small independent stockists championing them. It also reminds those stockists that they cannot rely too heavily on any one brand when, ultimately, that relationship is not in their control. The question remains whether Jellycat has permanently damaged its relationship with the indie retail world that built it up or whether it can move beyond this chapter to a renewed era of growth and efficiency.

My Mom and I Swear by Teva Sandals for Walking 25,000+ Steps Pain-free, From Disney World to Italy
As a New York City resident of 10-plus years and a frequent Disney World visitor (some might say a Disney adult, but that's neither here nor there), comfortable walking shoes are a major priority. I've tested out brands like Adidas, Brooks, Ryka, and more, and while I have favorite pairs from each of them, nothing quite compares to my beloved Teva sandals. In particular, the Teva Flatform Sandals are my go-to pair for warm weather, whether I'm trekking through the sweltering summer city streets or racking up 25,000+ steps across the Disney World parks. I've even got my mom hooked on the celebrity-approved brand, and we're often sporting our Teva sandals together, whether on our annual trip to Disney or a 12-day vacation to Italy. I've been wearing Tevas for years, but the flatform style is easily my favorite; I love that this design keeps my feet elevated above the ground (crucial when walking through New York City), yet it offers a supremely comfortable base for all-day walking. $70 $52 at Amazon $75 at Zappos $75 at The first time I wore these Teva sandals was on a week-long Disney vacation. Like previous Tevas I've owned, these didn't require a break-in period, which was great because I wore them for a full 15,000-step day before running a 10K race the next morning. I certainly couldn't afford any blisters! From first wear, I found the platform base to be extremely supportive and comfortable. The EVA midsole is designed with a heel cup for stability, while there is plenty of arch support in the middle to save my flat feet during a long day of walking and standing in lines. And, their ultra-lightweight design makes these sandals easy to pack in my carry-on. What I love about these sandals is that they offer an often much-needed break from restrictive sneakers on a walking-heavy vacation. Yet, unlike many other sandals, you aren't sacrificing support for comfort. I was so happy to wear these sandals after one of my most intense Disney days to date, which included 44,000 steps. My feet were unsurprisingly exhausted when I woke up the next day after being shoved into sneakers for roughly 20 miles, so I slipped on my Teva Flatforms instead. I racked up 25,000 steps with zero foot, leg, or back pain, despite the trials I put my body through the day before. $75 $70 at Amazon $75 at Zappos $75 at Clearly, my Teva platform sandals are comfortable, but the perks don't stop there. These shoes double as waterproof sandals and are ready for everything from the beach to the waterpark. I wore them all day at Blizzard Beach, one of Disney's water parks, and was shocked at how quickly they dried, even after submerging them completely underwater on the lazy river and down a few waterslides. I thought for sure they would rub and give me blisters, but I was left in complete comfort all day. But don't just take my word for it—my mom swears by her Teva sandals at the parks, too. Because she's a waitress who is on her feet for hours, my mom takes her footwear pretty seriously. Although her pair is thrifted and isn't sold in stores anymore (it's the Terra-Float 2 Knit Evolve Sandals), these sandals are the first thing she packs, right alongside her MagicBand and sunscreen. 'My Tevas are not only comfortable, but they make everything so easy,' she says. 'They provide excellent arch support, so my feet never get tired, and they're adjustable so I can make them a bit tighter if I'm on a crazy ride, or I can loosen them when I'm resting in the shade, having a snack on top of a Disney garbage can.' (If you know, you know.) Because they're thrifted and a discontinued style, her shoes definitely had a life before her—so the fact that they're still holding up to tens of thousands of steps is a testament to Teva's durability. $70 at Amazon $75 at Zappos $75 at Clearly, my mom and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about our Teva shoes, whether you're headed to Disney or on a walking-heavy vacation, like when we wore them across Venice, Florence, and Lake Como. For more supportive, comfortable sandals for women, read on for styles at Amazon, starting at $36. Love a great deal?

A pair of stylish teardrop earrings so much cheaper than the (very) expensive Bottega Veneta ones that look exactly like them.

A cubic zirconia cuff that'll have strangers actually thinking you spent (wait, checks notes) $17,000 😱 on the Cartier Love Bracelet. Not only is it less than $12, but you don't need to screw it on — unlike the way too ridiculously expensive version. And on that note, a cubic zirconia ring because you've always wanted the Cartier Love Ring to match, but not the price attached to it. It's simple, it's elegant, and it's pretty much guaranteed to never go out of style. Time to get one in every metal. A sleeveless halter bodysuit so you don't have to overpay for a closet staple ever again. Its buttery soft feel reminds reviewers of the famous Skims one, with some even claiming that they prefer it to the name brand! Or a cropped padded workout tank if you've always wanted the Lululemon look but you don't feel like dropping 💸💸💸 on the name brand. The look and material is so comparable to Lulu, literally no one will believe you were able to snag this from Amazon. Time to get one in every color. OR another cropped tank (with thicker straps) so similar to the popular Lululemon Align Tank, your jaw will absolutely drop when you see how inexpensive these are in comparison. This top is super versatile, so feel free to wear it with a cute pair of jeans on your way to brunch, or with leggings as you go for your weekly Pilates class. A simple, gorgeous tennis bracelet to add some ✨sparkle✨ to your wrist, but ya know, without costing you the down payment of a nice house in the suburbs. This elegant piece looks just like Swarovski, and reviewers say it doesn't tarnish, so it's bound to last you a lifetime. After all, diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but cubic zirconia is her lover. A loungewear set for those of you who don't want to sacrifice comfort for style. You can lounge around confident in your fashionista status with a set that looks ridiculously similar to the Skims set the Kardashians are known to adore. A classic pleated tennis skirt to make it look like you belong at a country club tennis court — no one's gotta know you've got a budget. Reviewers have compared these to Nike, Alo, and Aritzia — hello, bougie! Or a high-waisted mini skirt that looks incredibly familiar (hello, Aritzia? Is that you?) and made with a satiny material that is sure to make you feel ~très chic~. This skirt comes in a bunch of different colors, so you can snag a bunch of 'em for the same price as a single name-brand one, and no one will even be able to tell the difference. A full-zip track jacket because dropping $100+ on that Lululemon Define jacket honestly does not seem like the best financial decision at this time — but honestly, why would you, when this baby is so similar and literally a fraction of the price?! And don't worry, it even has the thumb holes. An expensive-looking faux-leather belt sure to become the focal piece of your casual outfits. Is it actually Gucci? Perhaps not. But those buddies you meet weekly for brunch don't gotta know that. A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts that are super comfortable, lightweight, and affordable — especially when compared to the pricey Lululemon's Hottie Hot shorts.
