News New Changes Coming to the Disney Look 2021

[Rteetz]

The blue vest is Main Street ops, red vest is PAC. Up until a year or two ago both roles wore the same blue vest costume.

The red vest has definitely been around longer than a year.

The outfits itself bother me more than short/long sleeves and/or tattoo's. Neither are that great combinations for me.
If we could replace the red jacket-thing with the old blue jacket thing (Im not sure how it's called, not even in my native language), it would be neat. The hat is also nice by the way.

The long sleeves even look slightly discomforting and way too puffy, while the right CM looks more at ease in her clothes, even without seeing her eyes. Her body language is more relaxed, while the left one feels slightly forced.

I see two CM's and couldnt care less which one helps me, based on looks. I'm more interested in wich one will help me kindly ;-)

If either one was going to offer me the same level of service, I would prefer they look professional. But I’m old and the world is changing.

Yes. IIRC... The switch to the red vest was to make the CM’s more visible at night when doing crowd control.

I dont think one of them is looking more or less professional than the other, but that's personal taste. For me, there's more magic in the experience and interactions with a CM than if I deem their looks fitting for the magic or theme.

As long as I can recognise them as a CM, I'm a happy guest. I dont wanna ask my stupid questions to a random guest I mistook for a CM ;-)

I can’t remember when the change over was exactly, the point wasn’t about the color of the vest, it was about the overall appearance.

Remember when Kevin Yee used to talk about Declining By Degrees?

Happens to me on a regular basis. I was once yelled at by a lady because the skyliner wasn’t running when I was waiting for my americano at joffreys! Serves me right for wearing my D23 shirt!

But again... if all you care about is the ability to recognize them as a CM then themed costumes are not necessary and we can go to the “Disney Parks” polo like Six Flags.

All cast in the same recognisable polo would work for me. Like I mentioned, it's not where the magic is for me personally. I enjoy other things (and dislike other things).

We could also discuss how much the hairbands on the mount everest ruin your experience. Or if the castle is still thé castle while it's hot pink. Or how IP has ruined things?

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes Keep that in mind. For the CM's aswell. Not every CM will be fully covered in tats, jewelery etc. etc.)

I think this shows how much standards have changed in the past year.

I can't with these lowered standards:

I never said they were lowered, I said “changed”

Sneaky!

Freudian slip on my part. When talking about the sunburned castle with mysteriously detached floating bunting, I must say... lowered.

The castle is just expressing itself more as part of the 5th key. It's all part of the new disney look. ;-)

Edit: who can edit or photoshop a tattoo on the castle? Keep in mind: not bigger than a hand!

That is one messed up chord then (womp-womp)! We can't even cover the thing up with sleeves. Although, maybe Stitch has some toilet paper lying around...

EDIT: If anyone posts the charred remains of the Stitch animatronic, I'll go on a pro-Splash Mountain changes rant. You've been warned.

The employee on the right looks sloppy and unprofessional. The CM on the left looks prepared and professional.

It's been a helluva year and a half.

That birthday cake look did cover the entire thing.

Jokes aside.. Things change. Some people like it. Some dont. Yet we're almost 65 pages into a discussion ...

Can you describe what is sloppy? Everything tucked in, buttoned...I'm assuming you mean the tattoo?

The tan lines will go away with time.

Literally the only uniform change is no bow-tie. Are you anti-shorts?

I didn't mind the birthday cake. Eep! At least it made sense in terms of composition and color palate. And it left the back of the castle free for 'classic' photos. This one is a dissonant mess with the kind of trimmings someone with new money would spring upon themselves.

And wait until we hit 2,000 pages. I think a topic like this may stick around for a while. Maybe not that long, but who-CO knows-VID?

Can you futher describe what is (un)professional and prepared in your eyes?

Personally, I'd sooner approach the CM on the right. Always hard to judge by picture, but the left one feels more staged and the right one has a more natural and open body language.
