Details on Disney! A look into Creative Costuming

I've tried to keep friends and family in the loop while on Disney USA Adventures.

So far I've explained some conundrums & concerns, working backstage at a show and what your daily schedule would probably look like - but it's still hard to imagine how working for 'the big mouse' could really be without any kind of visual help.

My latest 'Details on Disney' video is a more visual explanation of costuming life. An example of how we get Mickey mouse and his friends ready for their busy days visiting guests in the parks and what we do before and after.

Creative costumers are always busy; we have pants to mend, rips and tears to sew, buttons to find, feathers to brush and fur to groom. We have to make sure everyone takes their baths and look their best for the guests.

And of course every park has it's own crew of costumers because every park has a different theme. Hollywood studios is all about the glamour and performance, therefore everyone must look stunning! Animal Kingdom is all about adventure so you wouldn't see Goofy or Mickey without their safari hats or backpacks for example.

It's not always just laundry and hygiene, sometimes Mickey and his friends are running late or transportation gets mixed up and we have to help get them to where they need to be. All in all costuming is a fantasmic and fast-paced job and someone has to do it!

As always PLEASE feel free to leave comments here or on my videos about anything else you would like me to answer during our 6 month stay in the program. As always I will be posting more blogs and videos during my stay in America, so please continue to visit :)
