Disneyland in a kilt

[Drac]

Hi all,

Got to go back to Disneyland for Halloween. Always wanted to go to the Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween. Unfortunately I read it wrong and got there to late on Friday and left Monday morning. Oh well next time.

Brought the Lamont tank figuring it would be cool enough to be comfortable. Only problem was the with the sporran, Amy was afraid everyone would think it was Bambi.

At the entrance -



Into Main Street -



Onward -



A little bit of fun -



It just seemed right -



Over to California Adventure -



Next day, may have been without the kilt but still had a good time -

Jim really excellent pics. Brought back lots of memories of Disneyworld in Florida. and I have to say that you looked pretty sharp and I love that sporran.

Looks like a great time at Mike Mouse's house Drac! Thanks for sharing the action.

Ahh... another X Marker visits my workplace!

I spot kilts on a regular basis there, mostly Utilikilts, so those wearing traditional kilts really stand out.

LOL about your Bambi sporran!

... My grandfather built the clocktower in that pic (and the cabinets in Frontierland, and the mile long bar).

I was at Disneyland just before Halloween too. I didn't see any kilts, just oodles of little girls in princess dresses and mini Jack Sparrows.

Where do you work Richard?
As a native Orange County-ian, employment at the Mouse is pretty much mandatory.
I worked there in 1996 (Entertainment Art Dept) and also audtioned, unsuccessfully, for face characters (back in college).

I'm the manager (co-manager actually) of the artists in New Orleans Square and near Ariel's Grotto in California Adventure Park.

Entertainment Art eh? Did you know "Char"? She worked with us in "The Square" back around 1990, but around that time switched over to EA. I've seen her from time to time over the years. More recently she's been dressed in business attire, so she's evidently some sort of higher-up.

It's funny how people move around. We had one young lady who worked as an animator on Emperor's New Groove and Mulan and perhaps others, and in between her animating stints worked for us, and also worked as a face character portraying Mulan! How often would that happen: that one of the animators would also play the character she animated!

Morning Richard,

Amy and I stopped by your booth to say hello again Saturday but the lady said you only work during the week normally.

May have a few mor pictures after this weekend to post.

Drac,
Were there any rides or attractions you felt awkward on while being in a kilt? I am going to Disneyworld next April and would like to wear my kilt too. Sometimes the material can get caught in gates or doors, etc.

I will say I'm not much of a ride kind of guy so I can't tell you about the roller coasters in their various forms. Most of the casual rides were no problem like the Haunted Mansion. I will say I was really worried about the amount of chlorine I smelled in the water around the park. I understand the issue but it smelled stronger than a shocked pool.

A few new pick via the Disney photographer -
