Description
Originally, the lineup was supposed to be Peter Pan (Hero), Mad Hatter (Sidekick), and Hades (Villain) to commemorate the 100 Year celebration. Unfortunately. due to budget and time constraints, Peter was the only one that could get done. But, considering Pan was supposed to be made WAY back in '17, better late than Never.
This was however Aladdin's turn to return to D23 with his upgraded suit. Normally, I don't like re-using cosplays as I like to try and make something new for each con, but I'd like to try and make Aladdin one of my signatures again. Plus I really wasn't in the mood to put on a heap ton of facepaint for one of the usual sidekicks.
That being said, with this expo being the kick off for Disney's centennial party, I thought it only fitting to go as the man we have to thank for the whole thing. I feel like this was the one place where I could cosplay Walt without getting chastised by fellow history nuts or getting bombarded with outdated disproven accusations. Thankfully, to my surprise, he was recieved well! Not AS well as Peter or Al, but better than I anticipated, so that makes me happy.

I really need to get back on my game though...with all those costume designs I was addicted to making, it felt weird to get back into cosplaying after the pandumbic. Thankfully though, this expo has reignited the flame under me that I so desperately needed. The question, as always, is who to finish next.
