My Experience as Scrooge McDuck
6 years ago
I just arrived home from MomoCon 2019, and I want to tell you guys about my experience of cosplaying Scrooge McDuck at MomoCon yesterday.
First off, it was a lot of fun getting to be him for the con because I had an awesome time getting photos (as well as a few videos, hopefully). People loved seeing my cosplay, and it might've been my best one overall. The most common question I was asked was whether or not I made the costume. The answer is of course no. I got it from a costume maker in Peru. Someone even asked me if I ever worked at any of the Disney parks. While I did say no, I happen to know a few people, even a few furries, that have worked or currently working at Disney World at the moment. Some people even confused my cosplay with Donald Duck. I try to tell them that I'm Scrooge. It may have been the top hat or the shirt. Other than that, it was still awesome to see the look on their faces when they see a nostalgic icon come to life at a con.
However, it was very excruciating because I was in that suit for about TEN HOURS! So you can imagine how many pounds I've lost in water weight in addition to being drained in sweat. I did wear an ice vest and drink plenty of water to keep myself cool, but after the ice melted for about three hours, the vest felt pretty heavy which resulted in having aches on my shoulders. For the majority of the con, I had to keep the head off until I was asked for a photo (or a video). At that moment, I would then put the head on and pose for a photo. Then after walking around a con for about a minute, I would take the head off and explore the rest of the con.
But wait... there's more. As I was about to leave the con and go back to the hotel, I end up being bombarded by kids. How many you ask? I don't even want to know. So anyway, instead of ignoring them and trying to get a move on to the hotel, I pretty much get their wish and have them take photos. I think it might be because I'm cosplaying as a Disney character. However, I wanted to make sure that they would be quick.
Thankfully after all of this happened, I managed to get back to the hotel and felt like I was about to collapse. Thankfully, I managed to survive the day.
So even though it was fun cosplaying as the richest duck in the world, it was literally a workout for me being in that suit for a very long time.

Had to say I love your disney costumes (donald and scrooge). it'd be super cool to see that someday at a con. I dont attend cons since none are local to me anymore, but maybe later :D
