The new look reflects Disney’s broader initiative to refresh cast costumes across many roles. As with other recent wardrobe updates, the goal is to involve cast members throughout development and focus on real-world function as much as appearance.

That was just a cryptic reference to where you usually post.

I dunno, I like to think I have my feet on the ground. But not in the gutter.

I'm no fool, so no need to suffer me. Though from your attitude it seems there is little glad around you. It's not a contest, but I've got another decade on you around here, and I've been judicious with my posts. Mostly I try to be kind, or funny, or interesting, until I see someone attacking others for little to no reason. I ignore no one, and it is extremely rare that I feel the need to call anyone out...so that makes you special.

Oh she’s been here awhile. Just prefers to dwell in the clouds 😉

Please make use of the ignore feature. I'll do the same. But first, read my signature. I've been posting here for over a decade, yet I don't ever recall seeing your name. 🤷‍♀️ 🤔

Why are your remarks always so nasty? Despite your long-ago join date, I don't recall you posting much until the last couple years, and you are generally unpleasant towards your fellow forum members in any thread where you participate. You do you, I guess.

White works well in the Flo sun and this position can spend a good deal of time out there. White clothes worked for perception of cleanliness, in ways similar to how white glove service implies very high standards. It’s outdated thinking though - because it was a way to ‘prove’ hygiene. But WDW isn’t making food workers wear all white, arguably more important in that position. So what else is left beside sunshine. Status/caste? I realize most people aren’t ever thinking of it like that, but does reinforce it to those who choose to think along those lines. The all white sometimes gave me an unintentional ‘nurse’ vibe at WDW, reminiscent from the days nurses used to wear all white. There too, it hadperceptions of high standards and sterility. Also became outdated and morphed over to the more practical and functional.

Bowling shirt reminds of the overweight kid ( me ) back in the day who preferred it to a shirt I had to tuck into my pants.

Thank you. I was trying to figure out what they reminded me of and your friend nailed it.

That sounds great. Having worn them it would help. The images don't evoke cool to me with what the material looks like, but it is hard to tell from an image.

Costumes are being redesigned or reevaluated to use lighter cooler fabrics and addressing cast concerns and comfort. This project was set in motion with the last union contract negotiation.

Costumes changed fairly recently for Custodial(relevative) End of 2011. Not sure why the need to change again before others, but it got budgeted. It does help with some of the reasons stated. I was more bummed when Universal changed their Park Services custodial outfits, at they were all themed to each land they were in at IOA. (and Potter still gets to hold this)
