News New Main Street, U.S.A Costumes for Cast Members at Magic Kingdom

[aladdin2007]

The current Main Street merchandise costume requires a tie of the women and has for some time now.

yes but now every single one of the new ones do.

I mean, certainly Disney has an agenda, but I don't think it has seeped into the design choices for this particular costume refresh. Especially since there is no set women or men's costumes anymore, only version A and version B. They can wear whichever they please.

When we are there I'm going to tell the cast members that while I'm glad they are comfortable and happy, they are also ruining everyone's experience.

It is not the cast member's call or fault what they have to wear

I was just joking.

"Your comfort is ruining my experience. Please be hotter and sweatier so I can get back to making memories with my family. Thank you."

you realize that most of these roles are in climate controlled areas?

agree, I mean all of this could be worse, but they are certainly going more bland every time. What bothers me most is all the women's have to have a tie now....really?? keep pushing that agenda Disney.

Main Street female costumes have had a tie for decades, soooo….

Ever since this whole “workers rights and comfort” movement began post “pandemic”, the overall quality of guest “service” has gone down.

Right.

It's hard not to imagine some posters on these boards throwing their money at the feet of CMs to bend over and pick up when buying things at the park.

@Brian beat me to it, but there’s no such thing as “women’s” costumes & “men’s” costumes. They’re just “A” & “B”. With that being said anyone can wear which ever one they like best. Starbucks & the complex of Sunset Ranch share two costumes one is pink & one is green, a lot of cast wear the green one because it is more comfortable.

I was in line for FEA once, and I’m not sure if the entire pavilion had a thing going because all the ladies were wearing the outfit with pants and the men were wearing the long skirts. I thought maybe it had always been that way but I went back couple weeks later and it was reversed back. Either way, I wish my waist could fit the skirts those men were wearing cause they were making it work fabulously

Anyway, back to the normal bickering

In the photo, it would appear that men are wearing traditional men’s costumes and women are wearing traditional women’s.

The new men’s emporium costume (blue vest) is the one that really bothers me - it’s not really correct to the period - much like the new candy store itself - it’s more of a cartoon caricature of the time period.

It’s ok to me. Do you remember the Security cast costumes look liked the Good Humor ice cream truck employee ? The current costumes of Security makes them look a little more professional.

I remember back in the day that the Disney mgt wore a long sleeve pressed dress shirt with business slacks and tie in the brutal hot summer outside at MK while managing their operation while sweating under pressure. Just by looking at them work in desert like conditions wearing business attire was impressive.

I wasn't a fan of the bus cast costume change at the time. Call me crazy but the purple pants made you bus cast.

The current costumes do make bus cast look like professional drivers and take away the whimsey that told you that you are at Disney World. I will say that they really were not any cooler in the heat than the old costumes but they did appear to shed water better. Several times in the old purple pants I had to go to costuming for a fresh costume because I was caught in the rain where that was less with the Bolivian Army General's costume that they went to.

Anyone else think they look very cheap from this picture? I hope it's just the picture, but would not be surprised at all if they cheaped out as they have wasted so much money on other useless things.

Here's the announcement:

Are you ready? Cast are all smiles as they prepare to enter their new Main Street, U.S.A costumes era! Here’s a sneak peek at some of the costumes they’ll soon be debuting. Not only do these turn-of-the century Disney fits keep function and comfort top of mind with lightweight, breathable fabric, they’re also made from recyclable materials that help keep the environment in mind too.

The blue dress with the apron and hat is SOOOOO CUTE!!!!

 

[Figments Friend]

Waiting for:

“This fits better in Epcot.”
“Walt is rolling over in his grave.”
“They don’t look like dwarfs to me.”
“Female wearing a tie - too woke!”
“Why does that guy have a pie on his head?”
“The magic is gone.”
“Sam did nothing.”

Previous comments did not disappoint, either!

You forgot to add -
“They ruined my childhood”.

They look good but I’m sure someone will be offended and spew some unnecessary hyperbole.
