We’ve got MASSIVE news out of Magic Kingdom!

New Cast Member costumes!

Even though we’ve still got hours before guests can enter for the very first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year, we got a sneak peek at something new coming to the party this year — Cast Members have NEW costumes, and we just got to see them for the first time!

When we were walking towards the entrance of Magic Kingdom around 1:30 PM, we noticed that certain Cast Members getting ready for their shifts already had on their holly jolly Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party outfits, and they’re NEW this year!

Look how fun these costumes are!

These new costumes feature green shorts or pants, as well as red festive shirts that feature white geometric patterns, gingerbread men and women in the shape of stars, and sugar cookies in multiple different forms acting as the center of each star.

Look at that pattern!

One of our favorite parts of the costume is the green bow, which looks like the type of bow that you would put on a present. However, we’ve seen Cast Members both with and without the bows, so it doesn’t appear to be a necessary part of the costume, more a choice that they get to make.

Look at those pretty bows!

This is a pretty big change from the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party costumes of years past, and it appears to be a similar decision to what Disney made for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Now, both sets of costumes aren’t as whimsical as they used to be, in some people’s opinions, but if the reasoning is the same, it’s so Cast Members can feel more comfortable in the Orlando heat.

We heard from Cast Members directly during Halloween season that the new costumes were much more breathable and comfortable for them to be in during the hotter days, and we’re assuming the choice to change the costumes is for similar reasons. Cast Members work so hard, especially on party nights, so it’s very important that they’re comfortable and not overheating! While you may not think that November and December would be hot in Orlando, they absolutely can be, and it’s best to prepare in advance for that!

We think these new costumes are super fun!
