disneybounding

Rick talks with Instagram Influencer Spirit Day Sarah...not to be confused with his normal co-host Sarah Says.  The conversation revolves around creating content in the parks; dealing with on-line trolls; gaining confidence to video tape yourself in the parks; and how Sarah tries to promote a more sustainable Disney fandom.

Catherine and Kristen hit the parks on one of the hottest days of the year!  From water rides to water bottles that spray you in the face like a wayward feline, the gals cover ways to stay cool at the parks.  Also covering: initial thoughts about the Haunted Mansion movie, Rogers the Musical, fabulous eats at San Fransokyo Square, and more. 

Greetings and salutations, friends! We’re back, and we’re diving into COSPLAY, a creative pursuit that’s near and dear to our sewing machines and hot glue guns.

Question 1: What is your connection to cosplay?

• Sarah: It all started with Slave Leia/Hut-slayer Leia/Gold Bikini Leia and JediTink during 2007 and 2012 Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles and San Diego Comic Con
  • Proto-cosplay: ‘80s Superman pajamas
  • Still cosplaying? 
    • Yes! Making costumes for runDisney events gives Sarah the challenge of creating cosplay that’s still functional for doing what you need to do
• Bryn: The Cosplay =/= Consent episode of Skywalking Through Neverland inspired Bryn to put together her Brave Leia (Merida/Leia mash-up) for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in 2015
  • Proto-cosplay: Wonder Woman Underoos
  • Still cosplaying? 
    • Yes, from home during the pandemic over zoom a bit
    • making costumes for the kids
    • Disneybounding! Outfits that mimic something or everything from a character using clothes and accessories you already have (see The Disneybound, BrynI had the name wrong in this episode).

Question 2: What do we want to learn about cosplaying?

• LARPing! What is the difference between LARPing and cosplay?
  • Live Action Role Playing: You create your character and act as that character at an all-day or multi-day event
  • Cosplay: You make a costume of a character that already exists and display the costume at event or in photography
  • Dungeons and Dragons
• Building cosplay skills! 
  • Sewing classes at Joann Fabric
  • Learn to make armor out of foam and stuff! (Here’s the pattern Bryn used for Sylvie’s breastplate)
  • Posing without feeling like a dumb dumb

Question 3: What are you excited about regarding cosplaying?

• Bryn’s excited to cosplay/Disneybound with her son at conventions in 2022! No solid ideas yet, and we have to get started!
• Sarah’s holy grail cosplay: Couples cosplay of Robin Hood and Maid Marian from Disney’s animated film for Disneyland’s Sweethearts’ Nite this year
• Both of us are thankful for everyday cosplay items from companies like Elhoffer Design, Her Universe, and BoxLunch. Maybe Bryn will actually find some kind of fun workout clothes.

Bonus: Basketball is a peaceful planet, please.

We explore Disneybounding, the fun and creative trend of dressing up in looks inspired by Disney characters. We discuss the difference between Disneybounding and cosplay, and give tips on putting together a great look without breaking the bank.

Get spooky with Team Mousetalgia as Kristen reports on Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland Resort. First, we talk about a Halloween Time dilemma - crowds, heat, and closed attractions during one of the most popular weekends of the year. Kristen shares a potpourri of thoughts, including notes on this year's Halloween treats, tips for traveling with a hesitant two-year-old, Photopass woes, character dining options, and tips for first-time Disneybounders. Then, we talk Mickey's Halloween Party, including a review of this year's treat trails, new projection effects on the castle and the ghosts of goats past. Plus bonus samples from the ride of the Headless Horseman, the Frightfully Fun Parade and the Cadaver Dans. Also - Kristen reviews "Maps of the Disney Parks; we talk about Disneyland's imminent digital Fastpasses; and Jeff announces the release of the second edition of "The Unauthorized Story of Walt Disney's Haunted Mansion" and a Nov. 19 book signing at Creature Features in Burbank.
