In the jungle

I was at Disneyland last weekend as many may know and once again was taken by how well some of the employees looked in their safari gear. The ladies had some pretty spiffy fitted jackets. Does anyone have any photos of the Disney employees in their safari/Indygear?

Since it is über hot in California right now, I think some hot weather kit would be very appropriate.

Just stumbled across this thread... as a former Disneyland employee, I can state that the outfits are very impractical and very uncomfortable during the summer. I didn't work in Adventureland but near by (in "Critter Country," to be exact). The outfit was multiple layers, with long sleeves and a long, heavy skirt. This was the year-round outfit, and they basically expected you to handle the elements (I nearly fainted a few times one summer from standing in that outfit in direct sunlight). And yes, I did envy the safari kids for what I considered to be "normal" attire (well, normal compared to what I was wearing). I do have one picture of myself in the get-up but I would never allow it to get on the internet... most of my friends worked at Disneyland at some point or another as well (I'm beginning to think it's mandatory if you're raised in Southern California) and a couple worked in the Indiana Jones area, but I doubt they'd want any photos distributed, either. ;)
