Functional, animated Disneyland map Hallowe'en costume

Cory Doctorow 7:13 am Mon Oct 21, 2013

Kirby sez, "Rob Cockerham built himself a working, wearable Disneyland costume for Halloween this year. Yes. Working!"

And his own mouth forms both the gates of the castle and the mouth of Monstro the Whale in the Storybookland Boats. Rob, you win the Internet today, even if your Splash Mountain makes you lopsided.

Sleeping Beauty's castle is on my head. I've got Walt Disney and Mickey right in front of my mouth, and a great look down Main Street USA. Behind my head are the teacups, King Arthur's Carousel, Dumbo, the Storybook Boats, Small World and Toon Town.

To my right lay the Innoventions building, Autopia, the Submarines, the Astro Orbiter and the Matterhorn.

It's going to drive me crazy to have my face so close to main street. Whatever they are cooking in Jolly Holiday smells fantastic!

The roller coaster animations in the Matterhorn, Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain work well and aren't horribly loud. They are a bit subtle though, given the sheer size and volume of attractions featured on this costume.

Costume Complete!

(Thanks, Kirby!)
