Welcome to the creative, color-blocking, accessory-rich world of Disneybounding, a practice that allows Disney adults to channel their favorite characters, experiences or objects without running afoul of the company’s no-costume rules for grownups. Outfits are inspired by characters but use everyday clothes.
Why won’t Disney let adults wear costumes? Are they afraid some drag queen dressed as Cinderella is going to be mistaken for an employee at the resorts?!
Because they don't want visitors false-flagging them. Most people would wear costumes just for the fun of cosplay, but Disney clearly doesn't want to deal with bag snatchers, predators and unfunny pranksters using their actors and the other costumed guests as cover.
Security Officer: We have a report of a 300 pound male with a beard dressed as Snow White who was caught taking pictures of little boys in the bathroom
Control: Can you be more specific, there’s hundreds of fat bearded Snow Whites

They don't want anyone muscling in on their fondle territory.
