Having a Clear Vision

What costume do you need? Are you making a costume or buying? Is the costume simple or elaborate? What pieces do you need to complete the costume?

Asking yourself these questions will help you in creating your DIsney character costume.

Shopping Early

Start looking for Disney costumes early. Mid- to late-summer is a good time to begin looking for the right costume to buy. You'll find good sales and will have plenty of time to have your costume shipped, if needed.

If you'll be making a costume, consider starting to gather supplies and piece together costume materials as early as a year before you need it. This means you'll feel relaxed as you create your costume, and you'll have an abundance of time to look for the perfect materials to make your costume truly special.

Disney Store costumes will be online and in stores a bit closer to Halloween, so do a bit of comparison shopping at other retailers, as well as thrift stores and yard sales.

You never know what you may find!

Comparison Shopping

To get just the right pieces, at the best price, it's important to comparison shop. Disney Store costumes may have great costumes for your little ones, but be sure to shop online specialty stores and auctions.

Always, always, always check a variety of sources to get the best price!
