Disney PhotoPass has revealed new Cast Member costumes, set to debut tomorrow February 1st. Here’s the announcement:

Next time you are at Walt Disney World, you may notice something different about our Disney PhotoPass photographers. That’s because, beginning Feb. 1, photographers will debut brand-new costumes!

The new look fully embodies a “green” theme – not only is the shirt green, but the costume itself is environmentally friendly! The fabric is made up of recycled material, which even includes the Disney PhotoPass emblem stitched on the sleeve. At Disney, we are constantly pushing boundaries to solve great challenges. Josh, Costume Designer for Disney Live Entertainment, takes this mindset to heart when developing new costumes. 

“Sustainability and environmental consciousness are major focuses of all design work for cast member costumes,” he said. “We’re always looking for new practices and technologies that go the extra mile towards reducing our environmental footprint.”  

In addition to helping the environment, the costumes also help our photographers. The fabric is designed to control moisture and protect against the sun’s rays. It’s no secret the sun is bright here in Florida, so Josh and the team took extra steps to make sure cast members are protected.

“My favorite part about designing costumes for our cast is ensuring they are comfortable and safe,” Josh said. “We help them to be at their best so they can make magic for our guests.”

Disney PhotoPass photographers are at the heart of turning your most joyful vacation moments into treasured memories. Next time you get your photo taken, thank your photographer – and compliment them on the new costume!
