Mitchell, Russell, Hunter of Galbraith?

Or have I got it completely wrong?

I think it is now $95.00 a day.....Man I am old!

Oh boy, at that price we'd go much more often. With the three day, park hopper passes we bought, we'll have to sell our younger son into indentured, Disney servitude to pay for it!

One of the cast members who chatted with me, a younger guy, was very happy to see someone wearing a kilt. He said he's only seen three people, including himself, go to the park kilted. He had to shake my hand and he said he felt he should give me a button or something. I should've told him about this website, but my head was already swimming from all the stimuli.

You just about nailed it! It's Mitchell, Russell, Galbraith, or Hunter; although, I think I read there's a variation used for Hunter now.

In my case, it's Mitchell (16oz House of Edgar Nevis range)

I used to have a kilt in the same tartan, although I think it was in the ancient colours.
That's the only reason I recognised it!

One of the reasons I can't ever quite bring myself to wear another tartan is I get asked all the time what clan my kilt is (even though the Mitchells aren't a clan) and I like being able to give my own surname in response.
You're the first person who's recognized my tartan and said so. It's a pretty nice feeling.

I've been kilted at WDW many times without ever a trouble. Get some passing glances, some nice comments, and asked to take a photo or two each trip. I've not had trouble on any of the rides I've been on either, and rather enjoyed doing Mission Space (orange) at EPCOT kilted. As I don't own any PV kilts I've always worn my woollies, either 16oz, or 18oz with kilt hose, hand tied garters a button-down shirt, and a comfortable pair of walking shoes.

I'd surely wear mine again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone considering wearing a kilt to Disneyland (or Disney World.)

I wouldn't want to wear my wool kilt on the water rides because I don't relish the idea of strolling around in wet, heavy wool and I'd worry about wrecking the pleats. I'm basically lazy and the less maintenance, the better! I absolutely love how any wrinkles just fall out of the heavy wool.

I brought along my PV casual kilt, specifically with the water rides in mind, but I ended up not riding any and I never wore the PV. I'd still take it along next time, just to have the option.

Used to live in Anaheim too...lots of time at Disneyland. I love Mr. Toad's Wild Ride....its a perfect metaphor for addiction. Sadly, hadn't discovered kilts back then - early 70s...

And it's got that nice warm stretch at the end. My kid wanted to ride it because he was feeling cold (at 80 degrees!) but I enjoyed it too. As I mentioned, I've discovered I'm not a roller coaster kind of guy.

Now, if they made a ride which felt like riding MotoGP I'd be all over it!

You grew up 2 miles from Disneyland and didn't find a way of climbing over or under the fence? My (fairly small) 29 yo son apparently still finds ways in to the local attraction over 30 miles away which doesn't cost him anything. Mind you I gather he has been ejected a couple of times recently.
