A TikToker says she got a $75 shirt at Disney World for free after wearing clothes that go against the theme park's dress code

• A TikToker says she got a $75 shirt at Disney World for free after breaking the dress code.
• Some people said they wanted to try her "hack." Others said it would put a strain on employees.
• Disney's website says it can deny admission to or remove people who wear inappropriate clothes.

It's no secret that merchandise at Walt Disney World is expensive - but one TikToker claims to have a hack for saving money.

Amanda DiMeo, a TikTok star with more than 800,000 followers, posted a video last week in which she said she got a $75 Disney World shirt for free after breaking the theme park's dress code at Magic Kingdom.

"OK, guys, new Disney hack," DiMeo said. "If you're wearing a shirt that shows a little underboob, they'll write you a ticket when you first enter Magic Kingdom - I'm not sure about the other parks - but they'll write you a ticket so you can get a free shirt at the nearest gift shop."

"I just got a $75 T-shirt just because I was wearing a shirt that was exposing my underboob a little bit," she continued. "So yeah, if you want free Disney shirts, that's the hack."

Her video was posted on May 20 and has been viewed nearly 25 million times. It's also received more than 5 million likes.

In an email to Insider, DiMeo said she didn't know her shirt went against Disney World's dress code, as she'd worn it to the park once before, in January. She also said that the free-shirt voucher had a $50 limit but that she asked to get the $75 jersey and "the manager approved it for the cashier."

Several people commented on DiMeo's video saying they'd try something similar the next time they visited Disney World. But some Disney fans argued that breaking the theme park's dress code only puts pressure on employees, also known as cast members.

"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."

"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."

DiMeo told Insider that she felt "fine" about the incident and that she was happy she "got a shirt out of the experience." She also said that if people tried to follow in her footsteps by breaking Disney World's dress code, "that's up to them."

"I don't hold responsibility for others people's actions," she told Insider.

Disney World's website says that "proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times," as its theme parks are "casual, family-oriented" environments.

"Ensuring that the parks are family-friendly is an important part of the Disney experience," the website says. "In that spirit, we ask you to use your discretion and common sense."

The website also says the theme park "reserves the right" to deny admission to or remove anyone who chooses not to abide by the dress code.

Inappropriate clothing, according to Disney, includes clothing that's "excessively torn," features "obscene language or graphics," or "exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment."

Representatives for Disney World did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
