''Anyone who goes to the gym knows it's totally fine to walk around with a sports bra and leggings on,'' Nicole fumed.
''I just went to Disney, how I would go to the gym.''
While the Disney fan was let into the park by security, she claimed cast members refused her entry to an attraction, which led to her having to buy a T-shirt in order to stay and use the rides.
But Nicole's video proved to spark a fierce debate - with some viewers agreeing with the park that the outfit was inappropriate.

''I mean it's a bra. Of course you can't wear it to a family park. Be so for real. I am so happy they are finally cracking down,'' wrote one TikToker.
Someone else chimed in: ''I don't know why you thought it would be the exact same as the gym. Disneyworld is not the gym.''

Another commented, telling Nicole: ''When did wearing bras in public become the norm? Oh wait, it isn't.''
But there were also plenty of those who came to her defence, saying they don't see anything wrong with her outfit.

''Geez! I wouldn't have even thought twice about what you had on. Plus it's so hot,'' a person said.
''As a Disney regular it really depends on who catches you. Some are super strict on the rules some art,'' one regular visitor wrote.
The official rules as per the website state visitors must wear: ''Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times.''
Can you be dress coded for wearing crop tops in public?
The concept of being "dress coded" typically applies to specific environments such as schools, workplaces, or certain establishments where dress codes are enforced to maintain a particular standard or atmosphere.
In public spaces, however, the situation is generally more relaxed and governed by societal norms rather than strict rules.
That said, whether or not you can be dress coded for wearing a crop top in public largely depends on the context and location:
Public Spaces:
In most public spaces, like parks, streets, and beaches, wearing a crop top is generally acceptable and unlikely to result in any formal repercussions. People have the freedom to dress as they choose, provided they adhere to basic standards of decency and local laws.
Establishments and Venues:
Some restaurants, shops, or clubs may have their own dress codes. It's possible that a crop top might not meet the dress requirements for more formal venues. In such cases, staff may politely request that you adhere to their dress code or deny entry.
Schools and Workplaces:
Educational institutions and workplaces often have dress codes in place. Crop tops may be considered inappropriate in these settings, and you could be asked to change into more suitable attire.
Cultural and Regional Considerations:
In certain cultures or regions, norms and expectations around acceptable clothing can vary widely. It's always a good idea to be aware of and respect local customs and dress codes when travelling.

‘Terrified' Cheryl's killer stalker flouts ban & turns up at house trying to meet her leaving singer feeling ‘violated'
CHERYL Tweedy's killer stalker is back harassing her — flouting a restraining order by turning up at a house. 6 Cheryl Tweedy's killer stalker is back harassing her — flouting a restraining order by turning up at a house Credit: Getty 6 Daniel Bannister visited Cheryl's home in Buckinghamshire last week The order was imposed after a court heard that the 50-year-old left Girls Aloud singer Cheryl, 41, who lives with son Bear, eight, feeling 'violated, terrified and unsafe in her home'. He has previously been jailed for the manslaughter of a man at a homeless shelter. In the latest scare, charges said he had attended a building where he believed singer Cheryl to be present in Buckinghamshire on June 19. He was then understood to have been arrested in a swoop on his bail hostel. READ MORE ON CHERYL Last Saturday he appeared before Reading magistrates' court when he was remanded in custody. He returned to the court yesterday to plead guilty to a single count of breaching the restraining order. District judge Davinder Sandhu refused bail and sent the case to the town's crown court for sentencing on September 23. Most read in Celebrity In March, when the creep was caged for 16 weeks, a court heard how his campaign of harassment began when he went to Cheryl's mansion on January 25, 2024. The former X Factor judge saw a stranger approach her doorbell camera and say: 'It's Dan. I've come to get Cheryl.' Cheryl terrorised by convicted killer stalker who turned up at home 3 weeks after Liam Payne funeral He called again in July 2024 and asked through the intercom: 'I'm really thirsty. Can I have a glass of wine please?' The court at the time heard he 'can't stay away' from the singer. Prosecutor Datta Ryan said that visit had made Cheryl feel 'violated and terrified and unsafe in her home'. Bannister was arrested and jailed for four months in September 2024, when he got a three-year restraining order banning him from contacting her. But after he was released from prison he returned to the property on December 10, 2024 — We told how Bannister's visit came weeks after grieving Cheryl had attended the funeral of her ex, One Direction star and Bear's dad Liam Payne, who fell to his death in Buenos Aires last October. In a statement to cops — read to the court this March — Cheryl said: 'I immediately panicked when I saw Daniel. I was in a state of alarm and shock. I feared for my safety immediately and I feared for my child's safety. He was due back from the cinema and I didn't want him to see Daniel.' 6 Previous incidents have left Girls Aloud star Cheryl — mum to son Bear — 'violated and terrified' Credit: The Mega Agency 6 Bannister's visit came weeks after grieving Cheryl had attended the funeral of her ex, One Direction star and Bear's dad Liam Payne Credit: PA:Press Association Bannister's lawyer said the wannabe musician had gone back to the house after his arrest because he wanted to 'reassure her'. Lawyer Colin Mackrell said Bannister 'formed in his mind an affectionate view of Ms Tweedy and he believes that was somehow reciprocated'. A judge imposed a new indefinite order which prevents him from contacting Cheryl or entering any building where he knows or believes she might be. Bannister was previously jailed for 30 months in 2012 for manslaughter after he launched a 'sustained' fatal attack on Rajendra Patel, 48. CCTV showed Bannister punching and kicking Mr Patel at a YMCA in Croydon, South East London. Last night, neighbours of the Brixton bail hostel which Bannister gave as his address in court described him as a wild-haired loner. Police were understood to have arrested him there just a day after he called cops to accuse a neighbour of trying to break into his home. One man, 35, said: 'When the police arrested him he was just smiling. He was paranoid. Another neighbour, 25, said: 'We didn't have any interaction with the guy. He looked like he was in his own head. 'You can tell by looking at someone if they're right or wrong, and he looked wrong.' 6 The former X Factor judge saw a stranger approach her doorbell camera and say: 'It's Dan.
