My first magical experience that morning was seeing all of the cosplayers. Before noon, I’d say there were just as many people in costume as there were in street clothes. Throw in families and groups in matching t-shirts, and they had a definite majority throughout the day. While some opted for lowkey “Disney bounding” — where one might wear colors and patterns resembling a character’s outfit without detailed garments — others went all out to capture themselves as their favorite Disney characters. While (as you could probably guess) there were plenty of Annas and Elsas to be seen, some of my less conventional favorites included Kuzco and a Pizza Planet employee.
The excitement from them and the rest of the attendees created a fantastic atmosphere throughout both parks. This leads to another one of my favorite events from the 24-hour party — the sing along screening of Frozen in the Muppet*Vision Theatre. Packed with fans of all ages, the show started off with a warm up from a Cast Member who shared trivia for the film and made sure we were all ready to sing loud and proud. Not only did the children near us know every lyric to the film’s songs, but they were also able to recite every line of dialogue. While the pun has been done to death and is unintended, I have to say that this film screening was truly heart warming.
