Today, we continue our look at characters rarely seen in the Disney Parks these days. Chip and Dale, of course, are fairly ubiquitous, but one might be hard pressed to find them as their alter egos, the Rescue Rangers. These outfits, inspired by the "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers" TV series of the early '90s, were a staple of the chipmunks' appearances back in the time of Mickey's Starland. This photo, taken in early 2005, captured the duo in a rare appearance trekking through the jungles of Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom Park.
Alternative themed costumes, known as overlays, are commonly made for some of Disney's classic characters. Personalities like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Chip & Dale, Goofy and Pluto can easily appear in a variety of settings throughout the Parks, simply by changing what they wear.
I loved the Disney Afternoon growing up! I wish I could catch the Rescue Rangers walking around the parks! (:
