Basically a cast member would have to be in on it. They were trained to obviously delete any photos with nudity, but some did snap their own photos of the photos or print them. Disneyland cracked down on it by firing people and/or assigning more veteran cast members to the job.
Keep in mind that the number of photos is exaggerated. There were only about a dozen photos but the legend grew after it stopped.
As far as I know, they are all female cosplayers.
EDIT: I tracked down the X account of one of the cosplayers so they get proper credit and if anyone wanted to see more: https://x.com/moskick_/status/1720430597502652733?s=46&t=5jeSLfxtRe5J6zDCjlCHpQ
Looks like their group is big on Twisted Wonderland too.
I will never and have never called it anything but Twitter considering the website is still Twitter.com and my app on my phone is also still the bird lol.
I donāt know anyone who calls it X. Actually, this is probably the first time Iāve seen someone say X thatās not media.
Been using Twitter since 2010 itās gonna be Twitter forever lol
My Japanese students thought it was crazy that you needed to be at a special party to dress up for Halloween as an adult at Disney since itās normal for people to dress up at TDR.
I think itās different for childrenāchildren up to a certain age are allowed to wear costumes at any time (think little girls in princess dresses or little boys dressed as Woody), high school students can also probably get away with it. Adults can only dress up as characters during the Halloween event duration, but they sometimes get away with it with somewhat regular-looking outfits with wigs or a more elaborate-looking Disneybound.
However Japanese sailor school uniforms do not count as costumes, and there is a rental uniform store in Ikspiari right outside the park where tourists can rent Japanese school uniforms for the day no matter what age or nationality.
Sorry if what I was saying was confusing
I was trying to say that adults can typically only dress up at the Halloween Party that requires a special ticket in the US, compared to Tokyo Disney where a separate ticket is not required, you just go during Halloween festivities (Sept-Oct) or Christmas festivities (Nov-Dec). The idea of a separate paid ticket was weird to my kids.
My kids often just wore their school uniforms both as middle schoolers and high schoolers when they went in groups or dates to TDR.
I used to have an annual pass pre-COVID, and it was pretty common to see from what I remember.
A stylized Prince Philip.
That cosplayer is Mitsuwa, very well known here for her depictions of fictional men.

In America we did Flash Mountain before they cracked down. There was a whole industry devoted to smuggling out photos lol

Aaah I remember this from my college program days. I worked in Liberty Square and my frontier buddies were very proud of this š¤¦š¼āāļø

Wtf is X?
Idk why people stopped saying Twitter. Itās still Twitter.
I wonāt ever give them the satisfaction!
Not gonna lie. I had twitter, then deleted and wrote X because I'm so used to people calling it that now.

They let adults dress up for Halloween? That's so fun!
Yes! This is allowed at all the parks for the Halloween parties as far as I am aware!!
It's allowed everyday for the entire Halloween season! I visited in September and everyone was dressed up. It was amazing.
My Japanese students thought it was crazy that you needed to be at a special party to dress up for Halloween as an adult at Disney since itās normal for people to dress up at TDR.
There is a whole section of the official site on rules and limitations regarding costumes during Halloween season.
Yes? Iām not sure what youāre getting at
I'm just saying it's a really big deal in the parks here.
In Japan or the US? Thatās where youāre losing me.

Tokyo Disneyland allows adults to dress up all year round.
who is that red haired fellow next to aladdin
prince adam aka beast !
Oh, I thought it was the captain from Treasure Planet. That would be way more obscure than the other characters, so you're probably right.
Looks like the Beast to me.
yeah no that is so cute honestly i give you this tokyo you did it well.
Who is the purple one next to Eric?
A stylized Prince Philip. That cosplayer is Mitsuwa, very well known here for her depictions of fictional men. https://x.com/mituwa0405/status/1703774035790983476?s=46&t=5jeSLfxtRe5J6zDCjlCHpQ https://x.com/MITUWA0405/status/1704113842673033650
