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

I wonder if the untucked shirt (i hate to shame anyone) was just a candid shot and not in their rule books of allowed. If so, I do not like the untucked look.

Most new outdoor costumes allow the cm to decide whether they want to tuck or not

Disgraceful! What's next? Pant-less Donald Duck??

That really shouldn’t apply to the dress shirts though. The blue shirts with the solid maroon stripe look like they were designed to be worn over sized and untucked - the standard blue dress shirts do not. That probably should be clarified in the rules for these specific costumes.

Disney's press release shows that untucked is an option

The light blue and burgundy seems to be more for the street attendants.

The CMs in shops will be more old-timey-fied...

As @Unbanshee mentioned, it seems like it is an option. If it wasn’t (especially on launch day) leaders would’ve made corrections

Oh yeah, I’m not saying CM’s were doing anything wrong - just that the untuck options shouldn’t apply to dress shirts that weren’t designed to be worn untucked.

Debatable. They design these new costumes to be worn a specific way(s). If untucked is an option, then technically the shirt was designed to be untucked. But that’s just my perspective.

It’s also possible the ones I saw photos of are just way too big - either way some of them definitely looked sloppy, from my perspective.

Those shirts look to be designed to be worn untucked. The bottom is cut uniformly, most dress shirts aren't cut that way.

There are multiple shirts though… the ones with the solid maroon do indeed look to be designed to be worn untucked - there was another one that I saw a photo of that didn’t look good untucked but maybe I just saw a particularly oversized one?

To be clear - if it’s oversized I’m not blaming the CM especially on the first day - fits can be tricky to get right and while ideally Disney should make sure CM’s have proper fitting costumes, that doesn’t always happen these days.

I thought this was the bigger problem, in the photo Disney supplied the two men on the left are wearing very similar costumes, the one in the green vest looks great, the one in the yellow looks a bit sloppy because it‘s too large and doesn’t fit him properly.

The lady in the red shorts and the lady with the orange apron next to her highlight another advantage of tucking, it hides our bellies, they have similar builds but the lady with the tucked in shirt looks thinner because the tuck hides her curves. This is something I learned years ago when I started gaining weight. None of us are perfect so we take advantage of slimming tricks when we can, dark colors are typically my bellies best friend but in this case it shows how a white tucked in shirt can be more concealing than a dark untucked shirt.

It usually takes a while when new costumes are launched to find your right fit. Disney sizes are always wildly inaccurate. Also when they are brand new it takes a few washes to lose their “boxiness”.

I'm all for cast comfort (especially for those tasked with working outdoors most or all of their shift), and don't take issue with the Main Street Ops costume being permitted to have the shirt untucked, but they should have them tuck it in for the Flag Retreat ceremony in recognition of the dignity of the occasion. It's less than 10 minutes, and then they can untuck right after.

Main Street ops is allowed to wear the white dress shirt untucked? That should simply not be permitted. And yes, certainly for the flag retreat - crazy disrespectful.

someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that costume no longer exists. As part of the Main Street costume revamp, most of the shirts do not need to be tucked in.

They all wear the blue top and red bottoms costume (same as park greeters) now, but the top is permitted to be untucked.

The red vest costume that was once worn by PAC was retired as part of this change. The black vest version is still used by Main Street vehicle drivers, at least for now.

Anything goes for todays Disney.
