I heard they are the most expensive attractions cast member costumes. Not sure how accurate that is but its what they told a friend in the college program.

What sort of information are you looking for??

I wonder why they would be so expensive? Because of the tassels and what-not?

I have heard about them being the most expensive costume. I was just wondering how much they are worth. A long time ago I came across a tot coat and hat at a yard sale and bought them for $15. Its a little small on me but I still used the coat a few times, however, I haven't found much use for it recently. Ive been doing some cleaning and am wanting to get rid of some stuff and I figured its about time I did something with them so I'm thinking of selling them. I just wanted to find out whatever info I could on them.

That's pretty neat! Have you looked on ebay or craig's list? I would guess you could get quite a bit more than the $15 you paid for them.

I wonder if Disney has watchdogs or something on ebay? You will rarely see uniforms (outside of a few generic items) on there. It might have a lot to do with it being technically stolen goods (while you did pay for the "lost" you don't have full ownership of it).

Checked ebay but not craigslist

This is why I havent posted it yet. For all I know there are watchdogs on this site. The only thing that makes me feel safe in all of this is that the normal procedure for returning costumes after losing a job there states that if it is not returned within a specific time period then the amount of money that your costume costs comes out of your final paycheck. I only know this cause I worked at animal kingdom as a safari driver and thats what they told me.

Yeah, I would guess you are in the free and clear since it wasn't your uniform. But it would still stink to lose it entirely I don't know if they would bother coming after you though...

There have been cases where companies (esp apple) find out about the auctions and get them pulled followed by sending legal papers to the owner to surrender the item. I would imagine they would then track it back to the person who "lost" it and do something to them if they still work there.

This is from http://davelandweb.com/towerofterror/ and is not my work. "Cast members wear a 1930’s bellhop outfit that costs $1000+ per uniform (most expensive park costume)." I don't really know why it is so expensive, I hate to speculate and be wrong.

[Wizzard419]

My guess is that, unlike most of the other attractions, the uniform has a lot more pieces for it as well as the large overcoat, and whatnot. Since it's all custom and embroidered it means it was expensive, they may also tack on 2-3x the cost (who's going to be able to doubt the cost anyway?) to prevent everyone from taking one.

Good point. One of my employers always stated an inflated cost so we would not waste or break equipment and supplies.

Costumes in general are expensive (the hat I wore at Saratoga alone was $60 to replace) but the ToT ones are the ones that take the cake price-wise. Why I don't know, I'm thinking maybe since it is a very elaborate and very detailed costume.

so apparently it isnt a horrible idea to post these things on ebay. I just found all sorts of uniforms on there such as a uniform from the dinosaur ride in ak along with a bunch of other ones.
