To go back to the cultural thing for a sec: this sucks, and it's unfair and wrong, but since I lost the 80+ lbs. (50 more to go), went back to blonde and firmed up, people treat me differently. Not a little - VASTLY so. Even when I was only down 70, when I returned to DL, I noticed the difference.
But I do think it's time to change the costumes. They're a wonderful piece of Americana from the days when objectifying chicks was more accepted; in today's society, the low-wage worker would probably rather have something comfortable and easy to care for that was flattering and lower-maintenance.
Back in the day when they paid quadruple minimum wage, they had a more "peachy keen" job pool. Now, they have to use mostly average people for those positions. If they wanted to keep the "show performer" aspect up to Kids of the Kingdom standards, they'd pay for it. And they're not willing to, being Disney a la 2000s, pay for it. Like that's a surprise or something...
