I haven't been in the costume business for over twenty years, but the usual contract for costume is a deposit, plus rental.
The deposit is returned when the costume is returned, if the costume is okay to be simply washed and used again. Where I worked, we knew there were going to be small accidents, such as ripping a seam, or a drink spilled. We gave a lot of leeway with returning a deposit.
We expected repairs and alterations. The deposit was really only to ensure the costume came back.
There was never a question of where it was being used, or why. Halloween was the money making season, I enjoyed working at that time the best.
I do know in my small city, we had quite a stock for those impersonating singers, so we had sizes suitable for men, it was steady patrons, so I imagine a city as large as Orlando would have more choice of costume sites.
In fact, the span between now and Halloween would allow you to have one custom made by a seamstress in your area.
I was able to whip up the Belle gown as a gift to my niece in less than a month, complete with boning, so I imagine a seamstress can accomplish the task pretty easily.

Mickey's Halloween, I've never been to. I'm sorry. I've seen some of the videos, that's all.

We went as Segway riders the year that they were doing soft openings for New Fantasyland. A couple of CM's saw us and liked our costumes so much that they let us in for a sneak peek.
You'll see costumes of all sorts, some elaborate, some as simple as a Halloween T-shirt, and some people choose to not dress up at all. It's all good.
