Does Disney not allow adults to wear Costumes in their parks?

Outfits are inspired by characters but use everyday clothes. Disney parks don't allow costumes or masks for anyone 14 or older, except at certain special events. Because the company has its own costumed characters that interact with guests, it doesn't want those likenesses to be misrepresented.
