Disney Cruise Line Debuts New Mickey and Minnie Mouse Wardrobe at Disney Lookout Cay
Mickey and Minnie Mouse now sport new looks designed by Bahamian fashion designer Theodore Elyett for Disney Cruise Line’s newest island experience, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Inspired by the spirit of Junkanoo, a festival in the Bahamas famous for its joyous music and vibrant parades, the garments perfectly capture the festive essence of the event.
“The beauty of Mickey and Minnie’s looks are that they are literally ‘Junkanoo Fun in the Sun,’” Theodore said. “When you talk about the print, pattern, color, texture of Junkanoo, they’ve got that.”
