The EPCOT Festival Team is wearing new costumes this week made, in part, from plastic bottles that were at risk of polluting the ocean.

The Festival Team has been wearing the flag shirt costume, which is also being worn by the World Showcase cast members that are currently standing in for the cultural representatives.

This new mint green with light blue detailing gives the Festival Team their own unique identity, and is the first step in costume changes throughout EPCOT.

Yeah, I know, I'm sure it will be great too. But I think it should have gone in one of the other parks. It doesn't fit with Epcot at all.

Epcot hasn't been impressing me much lately. Frozen and Ratatouille are the only things and they're a reskin and copy and paste.

The new Cosmic Rewind costumes are reportedly made from 100% used diapers.

Don't prod them or soon they will be making shirts out of recycled trash bags.

It looks like this costume is just for Festival Cast so far and the flag shirt will survive for now for permanent ODV locations in world showcase.

No, because it’s not idiotic at all

castlecake2.0Nov 23, 2021

You can get paper cups of water or use the water refill stations in the parks or BYOWB. Why are people mad they’re recycling things? The shirts have to be made out of something.

Does anyone see how idiotic this is? Disney sells the water bottles that are causing the problem in the first place!

Hope they used the higher quality, breathable recycled textiles. Can get very hot in those pieces.

My thoughts too, if it’s virtue signaling at least it’s productive

Looks like a nice synthetic soft-thread (if fleece-like) shirt. The color is great for the Florida heat. I hope they do this for all the costuming and start recycling all those water bottles that end up in their landfill. One man's virtue-signaling is another man's progress.

I had the same thought. It kind of looks denim, although who knows what it actually feels like.

Casper GutmanNov 23, 2021

Yeah, putting aside how bland they are, those shirts do not look comfortable at all.
