In this segment of the video, Disney Dan introduces the concept of rare character spotlights and focuses on the Kingdom Hearts characters. These iconic video game characters have real-life costume character versions that occasionally appear in Disney parks for special events. The first public appearance of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in their Kingdom Hearts costumes was at Disney’s not-so-scary Halloween party in 2004.

In this segment of the video, it is discussed how the Sora costume at the park was designed to be unique, resembling Jafar’s style with an oversized head. The costume was inspired by the first Kingdom Hearts game, featuring red shorts, a shirt, a black and white jacket, and various accessories such as a crown chain necklace and oversized yellow sneakers. The character also had a signature Keyblade weapon, although it was not used as a sword during appearances. Sora’s appearance was a one-time event, specially licensed from Square Enix. While not officially a Disney character, Sora’s look translated well into a costume character due to the detailed design typical of Square Enix characters. The segment also mentions a later appearance of Kingdom Hearts characters in Tokyo, including a massive statue honoring Sora and other main characters, and a special fan event with new gameplay trailer revealed to eager fans.
