New modern day costumes coming to American Adventure?

Lilly, when was that last picture taken? Is that recent or for a private event?
2007 or earlier, taken at the AA, I do not know for which event.

It is not the new costume, but I wouldn't be surpised to find the new costumes being inspired by this set of outfits. At any rate, it is a good visualisation of the AA with red-white-blue modern costumes. (i.e. blegh)

Thanks... I don't like it... Colonial attire fits them so much better...

So only for special events then... Like celebrating 4th of July... Not a daily costume... The colonial costumes are still better..
They pop, and make sense for the July 4 show-it's set in present day and is a historical narrative of the country

They still look ugly and reinforces TP2000's point about Disney making lousy suits that due nothing for Cast Members who wear them.

Agreed. The women in the bottom photo look like they're wearing potato sacks sponsored by crayola and the men look like 12 year old boys who are trying on "Dad's" suit.

Funny how the women in the full colonial costume look shaplier and more attractive than in the more modern look.

Right...a 1 time thing... Still are ugly and the colonial attire is way better... If this is anything close to what the change over will be then it is hideous...

I don't need to tell them anything. Geographic boundaries make them Americans and facts are more stubborn than Canadians.
What you repeatedly fail to realize is that, like language and political boundaries, the naming of geographic features are a man-made construct. Words can also have multiple meanings. You're trying to be smart, but just look foolish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymological_fallacy]Etymological fallacy[/url]. The idea that words mean, and ought to mean, what their etymology suggests.
In contrast to the acceptance that words mean simply what they do, as dictated by common usage.

'America' by tradition, in English, has the double meaning of either the continent(s), or the US of. It is usually perfectly clear from the context which is meant. In this case, nobody has ever mistaken the American Adventure for a show about the history of Bolivia.

Here is a posting from DIS - apparently at AA, were supposed to be on a tour of the White House. Not to be confused with the HOP where the presidents hang out. Guess we can go back to DefCon 5

The entire World Showcase is getting refreshed - as many of the garments are the same design from the 80s.
For AA, they are trying to seperate the colonial feel from a more modern American feel. If you want a colonial feel, visit Liberty Square (where the colonial detail can be seen in the poop river or the leather window straps). Many Guests thought the 2 areas were a copy of each other (especially when comparing the costumes).
The main architecture display at AA is a building which was design to resemble the White House - therefore - Cast Members will be dressed to emulate those that you would encounter on a tour of the White House.

Entertainment is not being affected... however, attractions, merch & f&b are.

:thumbsup2

And that article was wrong.
Italy and China ALREADY changed (and no one even noticed). Mexico and UK are next in line... AA is down the road. AA is just getting attention because of an angry/vocal CM.

Good news - the design that was leaked shows women in skirts!

Architecturally, they are similar. Look at a photo of them side by side. It's all in the detail.
I just did.
I don't see any similarities at all. The styles are totally different, colonial and federal.

I'm calling shenanigans on that theory.

Who is this cspencer96 anyway? 9 posts in a year and a half and 5 of them are in threads I started in the past two days(taking the Company line of course)? Am I gaining a Spirited cult following?

When I took the Backstage Magic tour a few months ago they went into great detail on the architecture of the AA building. It's NOT based on the White House, not even a bit.
