I'm thinking that they're looking for a more retro version of 'dapper' -- spats, top hats, poofy skirts - that kind of thing.

The logo at the top was different, but you couldn't readily see that in the diminished light. Well... there I was, a middle-aged person in business casual attire, with a sticker on my London Fog jacket that looked exactly like a CM name tag. While walking from the front entrance towards Innoventions where the event began, I was approached by guests no less than four times, asking various questions about ride locations, when the park was closing, etc. (I suspect several other event attendees who were also dressed like managers got approached by guests as well.) Of course, being the former DL CM and Disney park nerd that I am, I confidently answered everyone's questions and sent them on their way. I wouldn't be surprised if I gave better answers than many of the management types would have given, from what several CMs have told me regarding their less-than-knowledgable TDA types. 8^D
