Authentic Haunted Mansion Costume for sale on Ebay

I thought that some of you might get a kick at seeing this auction:

I wonder how long before Disney pulls the plug on this auction (or if they even care). According to the seller, this is an authentic Walt Disney World cast member costume from the Haunted Mansion.

I am surprised to see that! Does Disney really pull the plug on them if they show up on Ebay?

Nice item, but I could never fit into an 18

The costume is probably Disney property. I would not be the least bit surprised if they contacted Ebay to cancel the auction and contact the seller.

I've never seen an official Disney costume up for sale...I have a feeling it will be gone in a few days.

The person claims to have other costumes from Disney, Universal, ect.

If it is an official CM costume, someone must have really pulled a fast one to get it out of Disney. They are very strict on people checking in and out their costumes. I once asked someone at AK about the jackets they wear in colder weather, I really liked it. But she said not a chance for people to get one, CM's can't even keep them, they are turned in on a regular schedule.

I've seen several cast member uniforms on Ebay lately. Last night I saw a Universe Of Energy costume:

That could actually be a security problem for the parks!

Looking back at the auction, it says that the costume is in Kissimmee. I wonder if it's an old employee, someone still working there, or if they KNOW someone who can take the costume.

I highly doubt this was at a flea market. My boyfriend re-quoted the auction as saying, "I found this costume in my closet after I got out of work from the Haunted Mansion today." Hahaha!
