Timberline, I was actually aware of a rule that yes, in the American Disney parks, woman are NOT permitted to wear wedding dresses or gowns. This was just hearsay from friends I've had that were CMs. Not sure the exact wording or exactly how the rule is applied but I've also heard that the official Disney weddings don't even allow brides to take wedding photos in the park during guest hours, even with a Disney photographer.

I'll have to ask my guest relations friend how true this is & how strict the policy actually is in the U.S. parks.

Good point, C i C. Still, it does seem a little over the top. Who maintains all of these rules?

Thanks for your comment disneyGirl -- I wonder what other little-known rules are floating around WDW that nobody really knows about except CMs!
