Recently, a netizen posted on social media claiming that she wore a Anna dress from a certain brand and a joint model of Disney when she went to Shanghai Disneyland. However, she was stopped by security guards and was unable to enter the park. She had to go to the neighboring store and buy a sunscreen suit to cover her upper body, and only then was able to enter the park after reporting to the park.
Shanghai Disneyland Tourist Notice.
According to a search by reporters, the Shanghai Disneyland tourist notice states that tourists aged 16 and above are not allowed to dress up as characters in cartoons, movies, or comics unless explicitly allowed or encouraged during special events. Do not wear long clothes that touch the ground. If the attire is inappropriate, indecent, or affects the experience of other tourists, they may be refused entry or required to leave the park.
On June 15th, Shanghai Disneyland officially responded to a reporter from The Paper that the tourist involved in the incident adjusted his attire according to the suggestions of the on-site staff and successfully entered the park. "We require tourists aged 16 and above to avoid wearing clothing that may confuse Disney characters when entering the park. According to the Shanghai Disneyland Visitors' Notice, unless during special events such as annual Halloween celebrations that we explicitly allow or encourage, tourists aged 16 and above are not allowed to dress up as cartoon, movie, or comic characters for the authentic Disney entertainment experience inside the park. In addition, from a safety perspective, clothing or skirts are also not accessible." Shanghai Disneyland welcomes tourists to wear Hanfu to play Shanghai Disneyland all year round, as long as their attire meets the requirements of the park's notice.
In fact, reporters have observed that there are tourists wearing Hanfu visiting Shanghai Disneyland year-round, and many tourists have also shared their experiences of wearing Hanfu on social media platforms. According to online information and Disney tourist guidelines, the reporter learned that the dress code for visitors to the park is not uniform. Even if the same dress is worn, it may be related to multiple factors such as the height and makeup of the visitors.
As of press release, the reporter found on the social networking platform that the original post of the netizen had been hidden, and said that "the original intention of the post was just to remind the sisters who bought Anna skirts to pay attention, if you want to enter the park, you'd better bring a coat, and there is no intention of provoking a dispute between Disney and Chinese clothing." She said that the original post did not say that the suit was Chinese clothing.

The reporter searched for the flagship store of the clothing on Taobao and found that the product name of the clothing appeared with the words "Disney Anna", introducing a Chinese style dress composed of a cheongsam skirt and a silk scarf. The product details page indicates that the brand has obtained genuine authorization from Walt Disney.
Whether wearing this clothing meets the admission standards has also been questioned by netizens before. The picture shows a Hezi skirt, draped silk, and a long sleeved shirt.

There have been many doubts about whether this clothing can be worn at Disney on product discussions and social media platforms. A netizen posted in March this year stating that the clothing, wearing a long sleeved shirt, has a Chinese element, and wearing only a Hezi skirt, one should worry about whether they will be kicked out by Disney.

On June 15th, the reporter also inquired with the store again about whether the clothing could be worn into Disneyland. Customer service responded that the specific ability to enter Disneyland depends on Disney's requirements and cannot be guaranteed. It is recommended to ask Disney's customer service. "If it is not possible to enter the park, based on customer service experience, it may be due to the customer's makeup being too luxurious and similar to NPCs. It is recommended to further confirm with the ticket checking lady at the amusement park," customer service reiterated.
