I'm also the one who said that Tour Guides needn't be slim. I said they should be
pretty.
Interesting how I think all the costumed characters we have discussed should be amongst the Park's most good-looking. I certainly want my Club 33 french maid to be quite the coquette. And I want the girl telling me my bedtime story aboard a Canal Boat to be sweet-faced. Certainly, I'd like that muscle-stud paddling my canoe to be a looker.
But, as CP pointed out, I'd cast those able to convey a creepy visage for Haunted Mansion duties. Some roles at the Magic Kingdom call for prettier people than do others. I would contend that the Tour Guide role is one of those. And it's because I love the current costume that I bemoan the change, not because the future outfit will accommodate larger women. I am far more upset that they're changing red plaid to blue than I am that the skirt is going from below the knee to above.
If they were really getting rid of the riding crop, I'd be heartbroken. But there's no point to the riding crop, imo, unless I can enjoy the thought of being swatted by the tour guide wielding it.
