A woman who visited Disney World claimed that she was "dress-coded" by theme park staff and refused entry.

Per the New York Post, TikTok user Nicole DeLosReyes - who goes by the handle @nicole.delosreyes on the social media platform - posted a video on May 10 of herself leaving the Epcot park in Florida.

In the video, she says: "Guys it happened. I got dress-coded at Disney, and I was told to leave or get a shirt, So, now we’re getting a shirt."

In the seven-second clip, DeLosReyes showed her followers that she had been wearing a white, knot-front top. The video has amassed more than 9.4 million views, 1.5 million likes, and over 5,600 comments.

Check out her video below:

After posting the video on the social media platform, users were divided on the organization's dress code policy.

One user clarified that Disney may have reasons for the dress code policy: "They [Disney] don’t allow tops held together by ties/strings bc they could come undone or get caught on something on rides."

Another joked and said: "[Your top is] not even that revealing... they know Ariel wears a seashell bra right?"

A third commented: "What is wrong with what you are wearing? You are there as a customer? I think you look cute and should be comfortable."

A fourth seemingly agreed with Disney's policy and said: "It's not the club."

DeLosReyes later revealed that she was stopped at the entrance of Epcot and asked to change because they don't allow tie front tops.

She described the rule as "wack" and said she had to either leave and change or buy merch.

The content creator also reiterated that she didn't "purposely" wear a tie front top after a few online users suspected that she did in order to get a free t-shirt: "I didn't do it on purpose. I don't care for a free damn shirt I just wasted a cute fit."

On the official Disney World website, the company states: "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."

It adds that this can include: "Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment."
