Best & Worst Attractions Costumes

Could someone post photos of costumes with long sleeves? I will have to cover tattoos.

Just about every costume can come with long sleeves, as you can wear a shirt with long sleeves underneath the costume.

 

[Brent13]

Awesome. I was under the impression that wearing a long sleeve shirt under a costume was a no-no. glad to hear otherwise.

I saw them pretty often. Especially during the holidays.

Haha, most of the laundering for costumes and linens from Disney resorts are taken care of by Textile Services, a department totally separate from Costuming. Don't have to worry about that too much .

Yes. Costuming has shorts included.

Eeew I rarely wear shorts. Ah well atleast it's good for the hot weather. Now everyone will see my chicken legs.

I don't know that I would want to work in MK but I absolutely love the pants for Adventureland. They look so comfortable. I also got accepted for Attractions CP, but my biggest worry is getting a ride where I have to memorize a speech.

Didn't they address this in your interview? Attractions was my #2 and she asked me right off if I was willing to memorize a spiel and do it in front of large crowds? If you said no I would assume they'd wouldn't put you in that kind of ride.

If you get put at a speiling ride and you can't pass, they move you.

Of course not! Pants are included with all shorts options.

Yea thanks guys. Its not that I can't spiel, just not sure I want to. I told them that in interview but I also discussed being a Campus Rep and being comfortable talking to large groups haha.

I did the spring advantage in '05 and I worked in MGM attractions. I'd have to say after comparing my costumes to my roomates from Magic kingdom...MGM "Hollywood Studio" costumes are the best because they are simply a pair of khaki pants and a button up collared t-shirt. very light and comfortable.

Welcome to the boards!

SO my recruiter told me that I was recommended to be put in the animal kingdom. What kind of clothes do qsfb people wear there. I know its stupid, but I really want a skirt/dress and I dont know if anyone at animal kingdom wears dresses like they all do at the magic kingdom.

i do have a question concerning costumes... they have multiple sizes, correct? I'm not exactly a size 2 and I always hate telling employers sizes and stuff because it makes me feel huge. I'm not gigantic, but i'm not a size 2

Anyone know if Disney costumes go a little larger than avg?

Yes, Disney has all different sizes. I am not a size 2 either and it doesn't help that I am only 4'11" but Disney had pants that fit me perfectly. And even some that were too short for me, which has NEVER happened! Trust me you will get a costume that fits.

I believe the only QSFB that has a dress is the Restaurantasaurus (or whatever it's called in Dinoland). Other then that, it's VERY bright pants. There are also a couple of plain pants too.

All different sizes to accomodate everyone...no worries! If they don't have something to fit someone, they'll have it made...but I only heard of one person I knew needing that...and it was more likely a replacement item for something that was never returned. You check out your own costumes, so you find the correct size/fit yourself, though people are on hand to help in the process--Disney likes everything to fit just so... I know in my placement, we had to have our costumes approved during training for proper fit, then we knew which sizes to get each time.

If you are a popular size, consider keeping the same costumes the entire time. That's what I did and just laundered them myself.

Also, EVERYONE feels huge at Disney in costuming because the costumes are in tailor's sizes...

Amen to that! I was in totally different sizes down there.

 

[epfootballcutie04]

Thanks guys! One of the reasons I love Disney so much is because of the differences in cultures and sizes of people that work there. I'm glad to know they have a wide amount of sizes and that they will make something for me if something didn't fit right. I've seen people of all sizes working there so I kinda thought that's how it would be, but I guess I just wanted to put my mind at ease
