Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will soon be the newest private destination. When guests begin to visit Lookout Cay, they will get to see Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse in their new outfits inspired by the Bahamian tradition, Junkanoo. These outfits were designed by Bahamian fashion designer Theodore Elyett. Today, the Disney Cruise Line revealed the outfits for the rest of the Disney friends that will be found at Lookout Cay.
Eight New Looks
In total, Theodore designed eight looks with traditional Junkanoo style in mind. This includes eye-catching details like fringe. It can be found on Goofy’s vest. Mickey Mouse has conch shell shorts and Minnie Mouse has a pineapple purse as well. The Bahamian island inspiration also makes these outfits bright with ocean waves and sun rays found in some of the outfits as well! Below is a look at Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Chip, and Dale in their new outfits.
“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.”
Natural Bahamian straw handiwork is woven into Mickey and Minnie’s outfits to match their raffia accessories. Check out the straw visors, oversized beach hats, and bucket hats that are being worn. There are also some adorable poms on the dresses, shoes, hat brims, and shoulder straps. These are a nod to this traditional Bahamian craft as well!
