Opening Ceremony Turns Disneyland Into an After-Hours Fashion Playhouse

addy, who are they?” asked a kid in a stroller, being hustled through the gates of Disneyland and pointing to the conspicuously dressed fashion crowd making their way inside. “They have to leave too,” the kid was told. “It’s closing. Everyone has to go home.”

It was indeed closing time at the Anaheim theme park, but the night was only beginning for those with a ticket to the after-hours show from Opening Ceremony, which was showcasing its spring collection, as well as a Disney-themed capsule, created in honor of Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday.

“It’s disturbingly clean,” remarked one Opening Ceremony fiend of the surroundings, as guests made their way to the show’s location in Toontown, a cartoon-themed section of the park dedicated and home to Mickey and Minnie and, for one night, Opening Ceremony’s founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. “To the left of It’s a Small World,” announced a beaming staffer at will call.

Doors to Toontown opened at 9 P.M. sharp, and the V.I.P.s were already beginning to take their seats. “It’s the squad,” said Diplo, donning a Mickey Mouse hat and describing Leon and Lim. “We love them.”

A few steps away were sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey, known as R&B duo Chloe x Halle and stars of ABC’s Grown-ish. They rose to fame after posting a YouTube video covering Beyoncé’s “Pretty Hurts,” and here they were, about a month away from performing at Coachella on the same day as the pop star.

“It doesn’t feel real,” said 19-year-old Chloe. “It feels like all of this is one, big dream, and I don’t want to wake up.”

It was their first time at Disneyland. “We’ve been to [Walt] Disney World,” chimed in younger sister Halle, 17. “But we live here and still hadn’t been, so it’s fun. We’re so excited—just feel so blessed.”

It was Laverne Cox’s first visit too. “It’s weird, but I just have never gotten around to coming,” said the Orange Is the New Black star. “How great that fashion brought me out to Disney.”
