underwear sharing at wdw

According to the CM who led my Keys to the Kingdom tour two weeks ago, this isn't true. He said that CM's wear their own underwear, and that if they wear a wig or headpiece it is assigned only to that CM and never switched around. They DO share things like shirts, dresses, trousers, etc. He said that new rules allow CM's to take those items home, too, and to launder them themselves. So I think the article may have over-dramatized a little bit. Disney used to be very protective about costumes and never allowed them outside of WDW (they don't want you to see Peter Pan in the supermarket) and that is what has changed.

Let us all hope this underwear issue has been taken care of :rolleyes:

Can you imagine being in those costumes in August? I give the cast members a great deal of credit for what they do and asking them to wear undergarments that someone else wore is just asking way too much. :mad:

Yes I can! (And thanks for the kudos, we appreciate it! >Big Chip-sized hug< As one of the CM's who has often wondered about what I was wearing and who had worn it previously, I'm thrilled about the new policy. We were even sharing SOCKS so I'm surprised no one was getting athlete's foot or something equally as disgusting as lice or scabies. :hurl: Not only that, but a lot of the time, you weren't able to find the proper garments because the costuming simply could not keep up with the laundry demands, and wound up wearing goodness knows what. Cheers to the union! Thanks everybody!!

First, I felt bad because the performers and characters have to wear those costumes in the extreme heat. But sharing dirty underwear? I don't even wear my own dirty underwear! As Joe Boxer says: "Change Daily!" :animwink:

Just think of how cost effective for 2 people to wear the same pair of undies...(kidding).

Disney must have saved a lot of $$$$

I am glad they still do not do this....:hurl:

It's gotta be tough dancing down Main Street when you have an itch!! ..........or maybe that's why everyone always dances with such enthusiasm - to keep them from scratching. :lol:

I never read this thread when it first started, so I thought this was a current piece of news... :lol:

Well, I am glad this case was settled... haha.

Wasn't it a few years ago that this issue came up in the news when some of the performers got crabs? Yuck.

Edited to add: I just realized the date of the original post was from June 2001. Nevermind :lol: :lookaroun

I took the Keys to the Kingdom tour in '03 and, while discussing costuming, our tour guide told us that "underwear sharing" just does not happen. It wouldn't be sanitary.
