I know Disney has a strict policy about vulgar imagry on guests but technically speaking 'FCUK" is not saying anything vulgar.

It's wrong, it does NOT say 'f * k'. That many people read it wrong is their problem, they should get their mind out of the gutter. I bet they immediately think of the female body part rather than a kitten when they read 'puss', too.
If children see it and comment, the parents should point out it does not say what they might've read at first, and make it a learning experience to *look* rather than make assumptions at first glance.

Actually, the shirt DID say something vulgar. It's a little known fact that people only need the first and last letter of a word in place for it to make sense. It doesn't matter that the "U" and the "C" are transposed. When people look at it, their brains automatically see the F-word.
Perhaps throwing a paying customer out without trying to solve the problem in another fashion was a bit hasty, though. They could have asked you to turn the shirt inside out or put another shirt on. I'm pretty sure their gift shops sell T-shirts. But for future reference, it's a good idea to not wear any shirt that could be construed as vulgar when you're going to a place that will certainly have children and other people who may not take kindly to it.

Absolutely not -- it's a brand name and technically not vulgar.
So magic kingdom should not have thrown you out and you should demand a refund, if you didn't already get one, but FCUK is a stupid, intentionally-provocative big-brand name, which I don't think reflects well on the people who wear it.

We are all different people with different ideas, when we step out in the public we are no longer in our private domain. In order for us to better relate to each other we need to recognize there are something we should not do for no other reason then to not offend people we don't know.
In this country we have lots of freedoms, I'm saying while out in public not giving the impression of being offensive, getting drug, being rude Isn't Asking Too Much.
Someone else said it best, "Your Freedom Ends, Where Someone Else's Begins."

Well, it IS a kids amusement park! I personally don't have a problem with it, but I can see how some parents might be offended. I can't decide if it was right or not!

Yes, it was appropriate. You are in a park with kids for goodness sake. Why did you wear it in the first place? Disney has strict standards about clothing and conduct. They were enforcing their standards.

Yeah, your at a park for children. You are going to get on the list of people who should be stabbed in the face for your stupidity.

They should have asked you to turn it inside out.
Yes, I support their attempt to keep their park clean.

it is highly inappropriate, in an amusement park, geared toward family. If you want to wear it, out in public, wear it to Hooters...
