Disneyland "Ice Capades" Era

When Disneyland Opened In 1955, Walt Disney Didn't Have Costumed Characters Readily Available To Roam Around The Parks. So, He Struck A Deal With The Ice Capades (Who Previously Used Disney Costumes In Their Shows Since 1949.) To Borrow What Characters They Had Used. They Had The Basics. Pinocchio, Dumbo, Mickey & Minnie, Donald Duck, Etc. Although These Costumes Looked Okay From A Distance, When You Look At Them Up Close, These Things Were Fucking Scary As Shit!!! Even After The Park Had Opened, The Ice Capades Had Still Kept The Deal With Disney & Continued Giving Them Retired Ice Capades Costume Characters. Characters Such As Fifi The French Poodle, Scottie, Maude The Comedy Mule & Other Unidentifiable Costumed Characters All The Way Up To At Least 1966, When Walt Disney Died.
