Witch inspired outfits have become increasingly popular in recent years. With their dark, mysterious aesthetic, witchy outfits offer a unique and powerful way to express oneself. One way to incorporate witchy elements into an outfit is through the use of black clothing. Black is often associated with witchcraft and magic, and wearing it can instantly create a dark and mystical vibe. Pairing a black dress or skirt with a lace top or sheer sleeves can add to the witchy aesthetic. Accessories play a crucial role in completing a witch inspired outfit.
While the Disney characters and floats are, indeed, magical, it's the dancers and their avant-garde wardrobes that give this parade its energy.
After Mickey Mouse and his pals kick off the parade, you ll be treated to many more floats and characters from various Disney movies, including some that have never been in a Disneyland parade before. Note I m aware that in all likelihood Magic Happens will return in 2024, but just in case it pulled a Paint the Night, I wanted to make sure I watched it again.
Accessories play a crucial role in completing a witch inspired outfit. Wide-brimmed hats are a staple in witch fashion and instantly evoke a mystical vibe. Adding a wide-brimmed hat to an outfit can instantly transform it into a witchy ensemble.
Trip Report: Final (2023) "Magic Happens" Parade was like seeing Taylor Swift Eras Tour in theaters
I know what you're thinking: "that sounds miserable". But the point I'm trying to convey is that the atmosphere on Sunday was like going to your favorite artists concert and being surrounded by like minded fans who share in the same passions you do. As Disney fans, I think we sometimes find it difficult explaining to "non Disney adults" why we enjoy going to the parks as much as we do. So by that token, I find joy in meeting people who enjoy the parks the way as I do.
This last weekend, the purpose of my visit was to send off Magic Happens. I'm typically the type that watches a parade once, then uses that time on ensuing visits to do attractions while wait times are lower. This Sunday though, my only goal was to see Magic Happens from the end of the parade route because I imagined the performers might wave as the gates closed behind them one last time. The parade itself takes about 20 minutes to go end to end of the park, so it would be about 6:50 by the time the parade reached small world. I wanted to make sure I had a good spot and ended up getting to small world by 4:45 where people were already seated behind tape marked on the ground. There was a rope across the path and I was informed that they "may" (wink wink) drop the rope and allow guests to view from the extended small world queue. A group of us milled about and chatted about all things Disney. What we were wearing that day, parade impressions, etc. I ended up chatting with an older couple who were just the absolute sweetest.
After awhile, CM's allowed us to sit at the very very end of the parade route. Here, seating was only to one side of the walkway which would mean that the performers would direct their full attention to our side. We sat about 3 rows deep and waited. One girl asked "I'm gonna be singing, I hope that's okay with everyone." Two others quickly chimed in "I'm gonna be singing too. don't even worry about it." Everyone in our area quickly bonded over our love for the parade, and our sadness that the parade was coming to an end. We talked about our favorite elements from the show, appreciation for the quality of the performers, music, and choreography, and just generally reminisced on this and past shows/fireworks.
At about 6:50, that opening music started and what followed was 15 minutes of non-stop cheering and singing. The loudest cheers went to the dancers between each of the floats. There was so much appreciation for their energy and hard work which sometimes gets less attention than the Disney characters. I think you could see some of the performers get emotional as we saw a small handful appear to wipe tears from their eyes. Things went up a notch when the floats transitioned from Frozen to the Finale because let's be honest, that last part is an absolute BOP. Singing intensified and at one point, one of Tiana's banner guards lifted his arms in the air and cupped his hand to his ear. All of us responded in kind, singing even louder. It was a great scene to be a part of.
In the past I would have stayed away from opening and closing days for fear that crowds and lines would be busier than normal. I've never been the type that needed to see something on opening day or to say I was the last to see it. But after getting a Magic Key and having the flexibility to go to the park and not feel like I need to maximize value, I've really enjoyed coming on some of these milestone days because I've met some incredible passionate people. The Parks and the CM's are a large component of the Magic. But guests create Magic too. In times like these, I think back to Hercules and "I Can Go the Distance" when he sings about how he yearns for "a far off place where a great warm welcome will be waiting" for him. That's what Disneyland is to me and I'm grateful for the spirit and kindness of Cast Members and strangers alike, and being able to share these moments with other Disney fans.
(Note: I'm aware that in all likelihood Magic Happens will return in 2024, but just in case it pulled a Paint the Night, I wanted to make sure I watched it again.)
Other accessories such as statement jewelry, chokers, and stacked rings can further enhance the witchy aesthetic. Layering is another important aspect of witch inspired outfits. Witches are often associated with the elements and nature, so incorporating earthy tones and textures can add depth to an outfit. Layering different fabrics such as velvet, lace, and chiffon can create visual interest and a whimsical feel. Incorporating elements of witchcraft and occult symbolism into an outfit can also add to the witchy aesthetic. Wearing pentagram jewelry, moon phase prints, or incorporating tarot card imagery can instantly create a witch inspired look. Overall, witch inspired outfits offer a unique way to express oneself and tap into the mystical and magical. Whether it's through the use of black clothing, accessories, layering, or incorporating occult symbolism, there are countless ways to incorporate witchy elements into an outfit. So embrace your inner witch and let your outfit cast a spell!.
