Komomo took a day off from work to turn into Snow White – she loves Disney princesses. She got her stunning costume at “Secret Honey,” a shop that offers Disney princess dresses in its lineup, while the basket-like bag accentuating her outfit was a find at an online shop. It’s the third year in a row that Komomo dresses up as a Disney Princess and you’ll also find a Rapunzel costume in her dresser – one of her favorite characters. The very first year, she was “incredibly shy and embarrassed,” but now she even got all the poses down to a T. “When I took the first step in full cosplay, I really started to enjoy the costume!” She also tells us that she got changed at the changing space near the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland.

Komomo looks forward to this season every year. Today, she’s not going to hop on any attractions because she simply wants to enjoy herself and her costume, but she tells us that Sindbad's Storybook Voyage in Tokyo DisneySea is her favorite ride. Later, she’s going to meet up with a friend of hers to go buy the limited “Glowing Poisoned Apple.”

Posing for pictures is fun!

The basket fits the costume perfectly. “It fits all my important things, including smartphone and wallet!”

Stunning even from behind.

Yu – or rather Peter Pan – took some time off work and came to Tokyo from Toyama Prefecture, just for the Halloween event. He loves Halloween in itself and is cosplaying as a Disney character while visiting Tokyo Disneyland for the second year. He changes his costume every day, which means that his suitcase is packed with three unique costumes for three days! His favorite show is Tokyo Disneyland’s One Man's Dream II – The Magic Lives On. He’s seen it many times and keeps enjoying it!
Tinkerbell is Ogawa from Tokyo who also took vacation for the Disney Halloween event. She met Yu in Tokyo and since last year, they’re visiting the park cosplaying together. Everything they’re wearing today is handmade, also crafted to not get in the way of shows and rides.

The red feather is a nice accent.

Even the flowers are handmade, apparently from cloth left after cutting.

She used parts of a chandelier gorgeously on her costume!

Here’s Kazu from Chiba and Momi from Kanagawa, dressed up as Anna and Elsa from Frozen! When they first met each other, they immediately had a connection and started cosplaying together. It’s the third year of Disney costumes for them. Their costumes are ready-made dresses from Secret Honey but their beautiful wigs are made by themselves. “For princesses, the bangs are important,” they say, as well as telling us that “It was quite hard to make the wigs keep this shape.” This year, they’ll stay four days at Tokyo Disney Resort and Kazu plans to dress up as Snow White and Belle while Momi will transform into Sally from Nightmare before Christmas. Momi also loves Pooh's Hunny Hunt and she tells us that she already got to enjoy it today. “The Western River Railroad is also fun because the costumes don’t get in the way.”

Hairpins and wax keep the wigs stylings in shape!

Of course, Olaf is here as well.

Mizuki from Kanagawa Prefecture is here to do Disney cosplays for the fifth year. She likes cosplaying as much as she likes traveling abroad to Hong Kong and other places, and according to her, she has over 20 cosplay outfits. “Rapunzel is my favorite,” she says, which is why she donned it for the first day of her stay. She got the costume from Secret Honey, but the wig is her own creation. She used a number of wigs to create the volume and length of the hair and the decorative flowers are also added by hand.
Her favorite ride is Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, a ride with little waiting, but today, Mizuki tells us that she isn’t going on any rides but simply plans on enjoying her costume. Tomorrow, she’ll visit Tokyo DisneySea as Anna!

“I like Rapunzel’s tomboyish side that isn’t princess-like at all!”

The flowers are from Daiso.

Making her wig this voluminous wasn’t easy at all.

Even from behind, the hairdo looks stunning.

It’s the first time for Tina from Hong Kong to cosplay at Disney Resort Tokyo. The office worker enjoys anime cosplay as a hobby, but a Japanese friend who she met in Hong Kong persuaded her to come to Japan and visit the park while dressed up for the first time. The dress is from Secret Honey, the wig is made by her. She’ll stay and cosplay for three days. “I won’t be riding any attractions today and only take pictures. I’m surprised by the high quality of Japanese costumes!” Her favorite character is Nick from Zootopia because he is “nice and cool.” Tina also plans to get the Ghost Bride Headband as a souvenir!

“The wig is made by me. I am really getting into Disney cosplay!”

Sugachi and Itto from Funabashi are getting quite a lot of attention, even compared to other cosplayers! They’ve been doing Disney costumes for eight years, owning countless costumes. Sugachi is dressed up as Finnick from the movie Zootopia – Finnick wearing his iconic elephant suit, to be precise. Every part of the costume is hand-made and it took her about two to three weeks. “Making the head shape was the hardest,” she says.
Itto, dressed up as Nick from the same movie, also made the head herself. It took her about two weeks to make it, while the clothes are store-bought and carefully chosen to match the original. They both like “wild beasts” and met each other while participating in a “wild beast”-themed Disney dress-up.
Today, they’re not going to ride any attractions because “We’d bother other park guests.” However, they plan on buying some ice candy to reproduce a scene from the movie!

They paid great attention to the characters’ expressions.

Even the feet are properly crafted!

The large tail is Nick’s characteristic.
