Today, the Disney Parks Blog shared a look at the Junkanoo inspired outfits your favorite characters will be wearing at Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Designed by Bahamian fashion designer, Theodore Elyett, all eight character outfits with traditional Junkanoo style in mind such as Goofy’s vest, Mickey Mouse’s conch shell shorts and Minnie Mouse’s pineapple purse. Bahamian island inspiration also makes these vacation looks especially bright with Donald Duck and Chip and Dale’s looks featuring ocean waves and sun rays.
“I envisioned creating a collection that not only highlighted Bahamian culture, but one that also allowed Mickey and his pals to look and feel as though they were comfortably on vacation, island style,” said Theodore. “’Junkanoo Fun in the Sun’ is an exclusive line-up of all things Bahamian, celebrating the beauty of The Bahamas, all tailored to match the varying personalities of Mickey and his pals.”
To match Mickey and Minnie Mouse’s raffia accessories, the natural Bahamian straw handiwork is woven into these outfits with straw visors, oversized beach hats and bucket hats on Donald and Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Chip and Dale. The adorable raffia poms on the dresses, shoes, hat brims and shoulder straps are also a nod to this traditional Bahamian craft!
Mickey and Minnie’s Lookout Cay outfits were revealed at the start of the year, and a few weeks ago we were introduced to matching merchandise.
Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will welcome guests starting this June when the Disney Magic visits on June 7th.
Something else to look forward to when we go in June to Lighthouse Point.
