Live from the D23 Expo: Buzzing Behind the Scenes At the Disney Store Costume Parade

Coming to you live from the D23 Expo, the Buzz has the exclusive behind the scenes, all-access pass to today's Disney Store Costume Parade!

Ever been backstage at a real fashion show? Today, the Buzz got a sneak peek at the Disney Store D23 Expo Costume Parade, and we just had to share the experience with all of our readers! The Disney Store Costume Parade was a preview of a selection of the amazing Halloween costumes available at Disney Store this fall, so The Buzz was eager to get a first look!

Before the parade , we went backstage to see some of the models get ready. The process starts with hair and make-up:

 

Next, it was time to get dressed. And Disney Store head costume designer Jason Johnson and assistant designer, Julia Pita were stylists for the show!

Buzz Lightyear's costume wouldn't be complete without his light-up goggles!

After getting dressed the costume parade models were ready to head to the stage for the show:

 
Don't they all look fabulous?! 

Before we knew it, it was showtime at the Disney Living Pavillion Stage. And what a show it was. The parade was hosted by Disney Store's own Jim Babcock, the ultimate fashion show emcee! Here are a few snap shots of the action:

 
 
 
 
 

It was such a treat for The Buzz to see the costume parade from behind the scenes come to life on stage. And awesome to get a preview of all the amazing costumes Disney Store is offering this Halloween and all year long.

Dying to get yours hands on these great role play costumes? Some of them are already available in Disney Stores and at the DisneyStore.com Halloween Shop now! Thanks for coming behind the scenes with us, Buzz readers! Stay tuned this weekend for more D23 Expo updates!

2011 Disney Holiday Collection Preview with Miss Teen USA

Today's the last day of our 2011 Holiday Collection preview!

Last week, at our Holiday Tour in New York,  the beautiful Miss Teen USA, Kamie Crawford, paid us a surprise visit! Kamie was able to check out the new Disney Store Holiday Collection, and she fell in love with our  Kidada for Disney Store holiday assortment!

Here's a snap shot of Kamie with our holiday Kidada product:

 Thanks for visiting, Kamie!

About Kidada:

This past May, we first launched Kidada for Disney Store, an exclusive collection with celebrity designer and Disney enthusiast, Kidada Jones.   The Charming Collection is a mix of apparel, jewelry, a limited edition vinyl figure and Wish-a-Littles, Kidada’s twist on Disney Princess. The Kidada for Disney Store collection is designed to inspire the dreamer in all of us.   

“As a kid growing up in Southern California, I was a frequent visitor to the Disneyland and developed a deep love of the magic and wonder of Disney,” said Kidada Jones. “This collection was inspired by childhood memories of Disney and the Disney Princesses combined with my many influences from music and travels around the world.” 

Love a little, dream a little, laugh a little, wish a little!

And finally, we have to welcome the new members of Wish-a-Little Collection by Kidada for Disney Store: Alice, Jasmine, Ariel  and Tinker Bell!

 

The Kidada for Disney Store Collection is available exclusively on DisneyStore.com, and at Disney Store locations in New York’s Times Square, North Michigan Ave. in Chicago; Stockton Street in San Francisco, CA; Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, CA. Shop online for the Kidada Collection here: DisneyStore.com/Kidada
