I bet these photos were taken on the first day of Halloween on Sept 12th, since there are some days when TDL invites guests to come in Disney costumes into the park. As you can see, they really get into the act and most importantly, they have FUN. This is something that I have begun to see happening during the MK's MNSSHPs.. I love it when adults get into the spirit of Halloween and dress up!!

Originally Posted By Big Thunder personally I liked the pictures, I was not surprised by the enthusiasm of some of the Japanese Disney fans, I have met Japanese collectors and Disney enthusiasts before and as fore mentioned, some are quite dedicated. I thought the park decorations were awesome. The pictures of the costumed fans looked cute and fun. The pic of the guys as "Cars" demonstrates a lot of creativity.

At least they're mostly thin, attractive people dressing up like this. I can see the average American Disney fan who weighs 250 pounds trying to pull this off, and it would be terrifying to look at.

I understand their enthusiasm, and appreciate their dedication and diligence to make themselves up as they do. Still though, I find it all a little freaky. Almost makes standing in line an hour for a fastpass or 30 minutes for popcorn seem normal.
