Walt Disney World’s Live Entertainment Costuming team has been busy. Several cast members across multiple parks just debuted new costumes, and the design details are worth knowing about before your next visit.
New Parking Cast Member Costumes
Parking and auto plaza cast members are wearing a new look designed by Nicole from the costuming team. The shirt features the iconic Walt Disney World Mickey globe logo alongside sketches of famous vehicles from Walt Disney World attractions and Disney Animation — Herbie the Love Bug and TRON Lightcycle / Run among them.
“Bringing more Disney storytelling to the parking costumes was very important to us,” Nicole said. “We tried to find the best balance of past, present, and future with the vehicles and iconography chosen for this design, hoping they would bring smiles and fond memories to our cast and guests.”
The raglan sleeves are built for movement, and epaulette shoulder pieces add functionality on the job. Every element was informed by cast member input.
New EPCOT Land Pavilion Costumes
Cast members at The Land Pavilion in EPCOT have new costumes as well. Costume Designer Josh pulled inspiration from the mural work on the Living with the Land ride loading platform and the vintage nostalgia of EPCOT’s original design language.
“We tried to find instances where we could bring that vintage EPCOT story into these costumes in a way that still felt true to the individual areas and roles,” Josh said. The result is a print with an abstract, impressionist take on the pavilion’s original icon — organic and windswept in feel.
New Magic Kingdom Outdoor Vending Costumes
Magic Kingdom’s outdoor vending cast members are also wearing something new. A blue top with a custom chambray-inspired print features art drawn from the park’s firework shows and natural flora throughout the various lands. Look closely — the print also hides multiple Hidden Mickeys scattered throughout.
The fabrics are performance-style with stretch and UPF sun protection, built for cast members spending long hours outside.
