I see it now. I didn't realize they had differently colored, film-inaccurate colorings for each park (why?).

The 90s was a weird time? Hah.

I'm still waiting for The Seven Dwarfs (except Dopey) to finally be given film accurate costumes/redesigns in the future.
Their clothing (except Dopey) has been inaccurate since the 1960s/1970s.

Or Cinderella's blue dress in the parks, even though her dress in the film was white. It's not like there are competing Disney princesses with white dresses.
It's fine, I just don't understand why.

In the Disney Princess BRAND, each one has an assigned colour.
Cinderella is blue so people don't get her confused with Aurora who wears pink...even though Aurora wears that pink dress for about 15 seconds in the movie and her blue dress doesn't look like Cinderella's.

So was Cinderella wearing a white dress in the parks prior to the 90s?
Weird they didn't just have Cinderella wear white and Aurora blue back when they originally started the Disney Princess thing.

IDK I guess they figured pink was more marketable for toys and such (and they were not wrong).
In the parks Cinderella had blue prior to the 90s, but they're even less likely to do white/silver now. Aurora wore blue for a long time even into the 2000s...DLP was the last place you could see her in that colour.

They should continue having after-hours Pride events. It is well documented and well known that Disney is pro-LGBTQ+. They’re not neutral on that. They’ve been dipping their feet in social causes arguably since Walt Disney was alive.

Clearly a huge success, and seems to be one of their best after hours events they have put together.
Thousand of people, sold out.

Right. There was no harm in this event, and yes, by the looks of it, it’s one of the more interesting ones. I was hoping to attend, but I’m taking a lot of trips this year and I’m broke lol.Clearly a huge success, and seems to be one of their best after hours events they have put together.
Thousand as of people, sold out.

I have no doubts this will return, and I hope it does.

The overlays were very in character and if you looked back at their wardrobe over the years I’m sure you could find something equally flamboyant

Whomever is in that Clarabelle suit has probably waited their whole lives for this moment. Give them a raise.

I loved them in the 90's! That was such a fantastic parade, and it single-handedly saved the summer of '97 from utter disaster after Light Magic fell flat on its face and was cancelled. But the Hercules parade was wonderful, and The Muses were my absolute favorite part.
That music and happy upbeat vibe of that entire parade was memory-making, although I doubt you could do that sort of parade now as it was pretty much campy cultural appropriation and brazenly making fun of another culture. HR would never let a lot of the sight gags and costumes for that parade out in public now.
But in my non-PC opinion The Muses were... perfection.
I'm fascinated that they kept their costumes for the past 25 years. Do they do that for every costume from every cancelled parade, or just key characters and sets? Weird to think what else they've got sitting in storage lockers in some random Anaheim industrial park.
Yes, Kids: Disneyland used to create elaborate parades like this every year for that summer's big animated motion picture. A new parade was put into rotation every year or two in the 90's. Back when Disneyland was still trying very hard to give the customers more and more.

Are these the same costumes? They definitely look very similar, though perhaps the just kept the patterns and were able to remake them?

When I saw that Twitter video of The Muses appearing at the Pride party they looked like exactly how I remembered them. If they aren't the old costumes, they are exact replications.
Maybe they did remake the costumes off of old patterns, but that seems a weird thing to do for what amounted to only an Instagrammable Moment where they didn't even sing.
If I was President of Disneyland, I would have had The Muses do their fabulous "Zero To Hero" musical number from the parade on a stage in the Small World mall. But then, I'm not the President of Disneyland.
