Donald Duck and Goofy make an appearance in Kingdom Hearts attire at Cast Appreciation Party at Epcot

Disney Cast Members in Donald Duck and Goofy Kingdom Hearts costumes were spotted at a Cast Appreciation Party that took place on Thursday, August 31 in Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The party was exclusive to entertainment cast only.
The costumes seem to be the same, if not similar, to the ones worn on Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween event in 2004 at the Magic Kingdom, just prior to the release of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. You can compare the costumes in the albums below.

The spread focused on the inclusion of a Toy Story world in the game and aspects of the gameplay so far, as revealed in the D23 trailer released last month. It also summarizes some facts about the game, such as that it will be the last title of the "Dark Seeker Saga," and that Big Hero 6 was the last Disney movie chosen to be a part the game, and hence all other movies released after 2014 will not be in it.
