Happy Birthday Disneyland!
Here’s the blog post dedicated to the one and original “Park” Pluto costume. Originally intended for the Walt Disney’s Toy Shop segment of the Ice Capades touring ice shows beginning in the early 1950s, this first version of fur Pluto was among the rest of the costumed characters that were eventually used as the very characters that paraded down Main Street and greeted guests on grand opening day. In fact it is unanimously agreed that this decision of making the idea of favorite Disney characters live and in the flesh, meeting the young & young at heart, was the spark that started the tradition of meets and greets at Disney parks.
Quite a sight, isn’t he?
