The Unwritten Rules during normal park hours
(These are based on the experiences of my friends and I, who have worn cosplays into the parks.)
Face paint may be worn if it does not cover more than 50% of your face.
Spiderman masks may be brought into park but only worn for photos.
Don't pretend to be an actual Universal team member. Just live your best life!
Secure your wigs on VelociCoaster with more bobby pins than you can count. (@emifigoras has this pinned on her TikTok)
