Ok, I'd love to know what the worst costume/uniform you've seen in any given park? Please, list by Park and Area/Attraction.

For me, it would be the old Kingdom of the Dinosaurs costumes at Knott's Berry Farm (pre Cedar Fair buyout.) Red touring caps, grey and white pinstriped shirts with a red bowtie, grey wool knickers, and red kneesocks! The Shrek 4D costumes at Universal come in a close second, and the Festa Italia uniforms at Busch Gardens Williamsburg a distant third (Purple, Teal, and Yellow! Ugh)

I personally feel sorry for those of you who work in Pooh Corner. Those costumes are hideous(at least the women's costume) ...they remind me of the homemade doll clothes my grandma would make.

Not so much the costume, but the character wearing it. Ever see someone WAY too short playing Pluto? ""What's wrong with Pluto?" "Nothing ma'am - he's a shar-pei!"

Ok here are my personal unfavorites and yes I have personally had to wear every one of these at one time or another.

OK for me it would have to be the OLD Tiki Room Costume circa late 80's before they changed to the pants. This thing was a skin tight mu mu with fruit on it. It was awful!

Next would have to be the current Pop Century female costume. June Cleaver LIVES!

Also for personal reasons the original Small World costume... you know the one. Blue Culottes, Red and White striped shirt dorky hat and knee socks. Ugh!

And finally the old Star Tours costume... all orange... looks like you just broke out of the local lock up. That was always an adventure trying to get gas wearing that get up!

As for the old KOD costumes they went along with the Roaring Twenties Theme where the ride was located (remember when Knott's used to worry about things like theming?) The load point was at a mock-up news stand so the RO's wore newsboy costumes. Now, it makes absoloutley no sense for them to be wearing the Hawiian print shirt of the Board walk.

As for the poofy sleeves of the male CM's in Critter Country I agree..bad but not the worst.


The worst for me is the Custodial Costumes at AK. Think the traidtional Custodial Costume with a teal and yellow animal print patch..bleh

Also the new Jungle Cruise Costumes at WDW....double bleh!! :eek:

The females at star tours in disneyland still have to wear that (with blue zippers) and the males have to wear all blue (with orange zippers). Thank heaven they're not actual jumpsuits, so they look ok and are pretty comfortable. what's the wdw costume for star tours now? IMO the ugliest at disneyland would have to be the male main street outdoor vending costume with the hat (though the female edition looks good), or possibly Its a small world now that i saw in costuming that hats are mandatory.

It's gotta be the mumus at DAK worn by the food service folks in Tusker House, Pizzafari, and the Flame Tree. As If a mumu shift weren't bad enough, the colors look like leggoland exploded.

Legoland exploding -giggles-

Yeah the Legoland costumes were functional and comfy but who wants to wear primary colors plus green on a polo? The Retail costumes had to be the worst though. (I was in food ours weren't bad).

At Disneyland I hate the CC costume. The blouse isn't bad (except I can't wear the size that fits me best cause my arms are too long) yes I wear the rediculous hat (sun off the face keeps my head warm) but the pants don't breath and look hideous. Oh and I think the Tomorrowland Taco Bell coustumes are bad too.
