A woman who was told to cover up by Disney staff because she was wearing a top that flashed her “underboob” has shared the unexpected upside of the awkward situation.
TikTok user Amanda DiMeo shared a video where she explained she had taken her daughter to Disneyworld in Florida when she was approached by a member of staff about her outfit that was “exposing my underboob”.
The US mum was wearing a red one-piece with a large cut-out feature under a pair of white shorts. As well as flashing her midriff, the garment also put the underneath of her bust on display.
Amanda said upon entry she was given a ticket for the nearest gift shop that allowed her to pick a branded T-shirt worth $A97 in order to cover herself up.
She then shared her experience to TikTok describing it as a “new Disney hack” – and her video has blown up, clocking up a staggering 27.6 million views to date.

“If you’re wearing a shirt that shows a little underboob they’ll write you a ticket for when you first enter Magic Kingdom so you can get a free shirt at the nearest gift shop,” Amanda explained in the video.
“I just got a $75 (SA97) T-shirt just because I was wearing a shirt that was exposing my underboob a little bit.
“OK but it’s so cute and if it’s free it’s for me.”
Understandably, commenters had a field day with the “tip”, with some joking “the Disney entrance is going to be wild for the next few months”.
Other women agreed the same happened to them, claiming it was disappointing the popular US theme park was “outdated” with its dress codes.
“This happened to me because I was wearing a halter top that ties,” one claimed.
“My stepdad wore a shirt with a beer bottle on it and during a character photo they made him cross his arms to cover it,” another added.
While one person said: “I’ve heard of them telling people to go change and come back.”
According to the official dress code listed on the brand’s website, Disney “reserves 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.”
This includes, “clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment” which may apply to Amanda’s outfit.
But many pleaded with TikTok viewers not to abuse the loophole in the park’s dress code policy, claiming it leads to more pressure on employees, known as cast members.
“Please don’t abuse this,” another person wrote. “They’ll just pull the feature & send people back to change. As a cast member, I can say that this isn’t always the case,” one person claimed.
“Oh cast members despise people like you,” one TikTok user wrote. “They don’t give things away that are over $50. Also, they don’t give things away very often. It’s very rare,” another added.
In the clip, Amanda showed off the pink long-sleeve top she changed into, describing it as “cute” and thanking Disney for the “freebie”.
She later told Insider she was happy she “got a shirt out of the experience”, adding if people tried to follow in her footsteps “that’s up to them”.
“I don’t hold responsibility for others people’s actions,” she told the publication.
Other women have since taken to the social media platform to share their own stories of being told their outfits were “inappropriate” at the popular theme park.
Disney has yet to respond to the claims.
