Hey guys i was lucky enough to attend this years Disneyland of Departure event and i had such an awesome time.

 

What the project is:

 

    "Project: Disneyland of Departure is a seasonal gathering for Kingdom Hearts fans, byKingdom Hearts fans, at the Disneyland Resort and Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California. During select days throughout the year, the primary of which is one day in October, fans from everywhere gather at Disneyland, in cosplay or with Kingdom Hearts apparel and merchandise, for Mickey's Halloween Party. We meet, we mingle, we go on rides together, we take pictures, and we enjoy all of Disney's seasonal tricks and treats during the Halloween season." MORE INFO HERE http://disneylandofdeparture.webs.com/

 

Unfortunately i was not able to get a ticket for Disneyland but they made a change where they would do all the planned activities in downtown Disney shopping center and go into the park last to just hang out.

 

Now For The Photos :

 

Walking from the parking lot to the event. I was greeted with cheers from my fellow KH Fans and they made me feel so awesome and some even asked to take a photograph.

 

 

 

Here i am in all my glory. I just wished my tail showed up in the pic. haha

 

 

 

 

Here's the first pic i took. Sora with a cute little heartless plush.

Claiming our prizes! i got a rubber keychain of Ventus.

 

 

 

 

Raffle time! You might recognize the guy in the middle because he's Kh13 Staff member, The Legendary Churro! Prizes were KH figures including KH1 Riku, Tron sora, and other non kh related ones which were awesome as well. They also gave away an unversed plush and the mark of mastery edition of DDD!

I had an amazing time. The highlight for me was probably just being able to hang out with other kh fans, They are always the nicest people! OH and of course being able to meet Churro who is such a humble and inspirational dude! I can not wait for next years event .

You should! You will not regret it. I plan on cosplaying as dual wielding hooded roxas next year

Great photos! You must have had a blast! Also, not to rain on your parade, but that's a Ventus rubber thing,not roxas.

omg you're right i feel so ashamed! Oh i also called YMX "xemnas" on accident when i asked for a photo. hahahaha

Dem Axel boots tho.

 

This looked like a great time. I wish I could've went. Maybe next year

That "Repliku" is actually possessed Riku because they're wielding the Keyblade of People's Hearts.

 

But wow, it's sooooo awesome to see so many KH fans in one place! I wish I was there. You're lucky dude!

 

Peace!

I'm glad you noticed I was there too!

Some of the pictures are just hilarious especially with the one where xion and ventus are on the ground.

you mean Roxas.

Wow that was cool! The rubber souvenir is of Ventus, not Roxas. So many people dressed as KH3 Sora! I love it! Since Disneyland is next door to SQEX NA HQ and Walt Disney Co HQ so I wonder if it will have more effect on petitioning the Walt Disney Co to put KH in the parks.
