Behind the Scenes with a Disney Parks Costume Designer!
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to Disney, I love knowing the process behind the project. Let’s go behind the scenes to look at what goes into Costume Design at Disney Parks!
Disney Artists
Recently, Disney has been sharing some fun videos featuring talented Cast Members. Last week, we reported on a Disney window-making project which was incredibly interesting!
Now, Disney Parks is giving us another inside look at an artistic process. Speaking of art, it’s no secret that many of us fell in love with Disney because of the magic of animation.
If you’re an art enthusiast, check out our recent article on the Limited Edition Cel created for Disney100. It gives an inside look at the Walt Disney Animation Studios Ink and Paint Department!
Disney Parks Costume Designer
But, back to Costume Design. The TikTok video opens with an introduction to Danny, a Costume Designer with Disney Parks Live Entertainment.
Danny shares that one of the perks of his job is designing costumes for Mickey and Minnie! We see him hard at work creating outfits for Disneyland’s recent Make-A-Wish dedication ceremony.
He draws and colors his designs on a computer. The inspiration behind his concept comes from the magical, night sky!
Once his designs are finished, costumers are responsible for getting the artwork printed onto satin. Danny shares that “it’s always fun to work on outfits for Mickey and Minnie!”
In fact, he says it’s “one of the best parts” of his job! It’s amazing to see his project come to life, from vision to reality.
Mickey and Minnie were all aglow for the festive occasion. Thanks to Danny for taking us behind the scenes for a day in the life of a Disney Parks Costume Designer!
