Costume Idea Need LPer's Help!

It's for a costume contest at work and everyone there knows that I'm a Disneyland fan. I think I can pull it off with your help!

So far my idea are:

Hawaiian shirt or Disneyland type shirt
Bermuda shorts, sandals maybe with socks
A camera
A park map
Pin Lanyard with lots of pins (and of course my LP button.)
Mickey Ears
Carrying a plush Mickey
Churro in back pocket

Here's what I need help with:

More Ideas AND

Does anyone have a park map that they could send me? (Not one you don't want to part with but for those of you who go often.)

Does anyone have a left over fastpass that they didn't use?

Where can I get Mickey ears outside of the park? (I'm not going again until Dec.)

Please post ideas!

(Can you tell I'm really excited about this?!)

Thanks so much!!!

As for other ideas...How about a really big backpack to go with it? Or a DL shopping bag? Or some whiney kids? (Just kidding)

You should add a fanny pack too. That is the ultimate in tourist apparel! It sounds like nobody will have any trouble figuring out that you are supposed to be a tourist (although some people may actually mistake you for one...but it sounds like its over the top enough to not have a problem with that)

last September you have to stop suddenly at various places and stare in awe , and load up with Disney bags.

Multiple souvie bags, layered.

A "Today Guide" sticking prominently out of breast pocket.

Birnbaum Guide in hip pocket.

Goofy hat is nerdier than mouse ears, but not as iconic.

Popcorn bucket???

Could you use a yellow highlighter to replicate a re-entry handstamp?

Entitled AP Holder would make a great costume too. It's a lot like the Disneyland tourist, but you get to walk around all night making outrageous demands

DVC Dad, thank you so much for the offer - I think I've found a pair of ears to borrow.

Lemisfan - I found a map but would you be able to get a Disney shopping bag? I'll email you.

Thanks again everyone! This is going to be great!

Too funny! I did this more than fifteen years ago!! ACK, I'm old!!

I wore dark tights under the shorts to either look like a burn or a tan. Sandals with black socks on top of that. A camera around my neck and I told people it wasn't loaded but it was (I got great photos that way). I suppose now you can go mad with a bronzer.

White sunblock on my nose, like that zinc stuff.

Sunglasses and dorky hat.

Loud Aloha shirt!!! And a tank top underneath that had Venice Beach on it. A Mickey shirt would work, too.

I spoke loud all night long and pointed out things or people, while asking questions, like...YOU ARE JULIA ROBERTS, YES YOU ARE!!!! *Click* with the camera. Isn't that the Hollywood sign? *click*

Have a great time, best costume idea ever!!!!!!

I think that if you kept spitting out Disney knowledge, that would be a hoot!
Like "Did you know the fourth line in "The Lion King" is..... or did you know that "Innoventions" used to actually be...... or whatever!

Sometimes when we go to DL you find a person or two who is just rambling these facts out, and you know some of what they say is wrong...so it really doesn't matter how inaccurate you are. Just be convincing!
