Heh, I didn’t think about that. For a while Disney had someone checking
the pictures but I believe that practice has been stopped due to budget
cuts.

Marshal, I’d say it was more like Flash Mountain. Out of deference to the all the lazy SOBs who are reading this at work, the link is to a page with no nudity.

Rainey:

Pretty sure she’s pulling up a shirt that’s over her mickey shirt, just like a Mardi Gras flasher, only with a Mickey underneath.

@Morris & Rainey,
In the 1920’s there was a fairly-well-known vaudeville act called “Smith & Dale”. So “Chip & Dale” is clever for three reasons: Chip was a chipmunk, it sounds like “Smith & Dale” and it sounds like “Chippendale”.

I have a friend who worked at Disney theme park and said a couple of ladies were kicked out of the park one day for wearing Mickey-shaped pasties (covering roughly the same area as the Mickey in the cartoon).

Rainey,
Chip and Dale were there a few decades before the “Chippendales”, but there’s no doubt that their name (Chip and Dale) is a pun on the name “Chippendale”, most likely for the well-known 18th-century English furniture maker Thomas Chippendale. I have no idea where the dancers got their name from, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was intended as a reference to the same furniture maker, whose the historically best-known person of that name.

It’s the Disney-fied version of what happens on Bourbon street (even outside of Mardi Gras).

@everybody: It appears as though the woman is grabbing the Mickey Mouse ears and getting ready to pull them down. They are probably patches covering holes in her shirt over her breasts. This would be similar to a man flashing somebody by pulling down his zipper and not wearing underwear.
@Bearman: I always did think that the pun between Chip and Dale and the Chippendales was rather unfortunate. This may or may not be the result of somebody “borrowing” and “doctoring” a name thought up by somebody else.
P.S. I always wear underwear. If you have read one of my past posts, you know why!

Wonder what the ChipNDale show will be like at this new resort.
