Hiya Karshae,
Welcome to planDisney! We are happy to have you here and to be a part of your planning journey. Walt Disney World Resort is a place for everyone, and Cast Members are incredibly dedicated to ensuring an enjoyable experience for all Guests.
With that being said, thank you for bringing your question to us today. Just like all of the incredible details in Walt Disney animations, a tattoo can also be a beautiful representation of artistic expression. I myself have many tattoos and always feel like they are an opportunity to “paint with all the colors of the wind.” I really appreciate that you have taken the time to think through how to be sensitive to not only your Guests but all Guests at Walt Disney World Resort. According to
Walt Disney World Property rules, visible tattoos that could be considered inappropriate (i.e., containing objectionable language or designs) are not permitted. Cast Members reserve the right to deny admission or remove any person that could detract from the experiences of other Guests.
For this reason, I suggest your friend err on the side of caution and wear clothing that coverups his tattoo. Even though Orlando is generally pretty warm, it can get pretty chilly throughout the day, depending on the season. I personally wear jeans or long pants during most of my visits because I tend to get a little cold. Another option is to use a bandage that obscures the tattoo if it is too warm for pants.
I hope my answer was helpful, Karshae. We want you to have an incredible vacation and are here to help you plan every detail. If there is anything else we can do to help, please come back and see us.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
