Visiting the Disneyland Resort the Day After Fourth of July

Ahh... the day after Fourth of July ...
Knowing I had a lot of stuff to do today, I woke up early and quickly made my way to the Disneyland Resort.

Inside Fiddler, Fifer, and Practical Cafe, two new menu items are being tested

As a grab and go menu item - Roasted Turkey and Roast Beef sandwiches served with fresh fruit, an Apple and Cheddar salad as well as Apple and Cheddar with Roasted Turkey salad. Because of the grab and go item, made to order items will not be available during the test period

How long have these pirate hats been there?
I remember seeing an orange and black striped version that I saw mostly the male Cast Members wear.
Is this a female version of it? Or an entirely redesigned hat?
