I was hoping to stick to more Disney-cosplay ideas, but I never know
what's in the bottom of the closet--
There may be some old Ren-faire traces that overlap with the POTC crowd,
but that's only an emergency backup.
(As far as dressing as Disney movie-related characters, I'd already
turned down the idea of slinging a coil of rope over my shoulders,
carrying a flashlight, leatherbound journal and cardboard-framed copy of
the Declaraion of Independence, going as Benjamin Gates, and claim to be
searching for treasure that the Castle had been built fifty years ago to
cover up:
"In this diary, you can see an engraving made 200 years ago by Paul
Revere--In which there is a *tinker*, and he's clearly working on a
*bell*...Ah believe these two items may be significant, somehow..." )
