Disney Character Costumes

Disney character costumes are popular every year. What child doesn't love dressing up in a Sleeping Beauty costume or any of the other Disney costumes for kids?

We're going to give you some awesome tips for creating (or purchasing!) your Aladdin costume, Jasmine costume, or Buzz Lightyear costume!

Purchasing vs. Buying

Ask yourself whether you want to purchase your Disney character costume or buy it.

If you're purchasing, don't limit yourself to the Disney Store! Halloween costumes can be found in all kinds of places. In addition to retail stores, you can find cheap Disney costumes at:

Discount stores/outlets
Thrift stores
Yard sales
Ebay
Online - Find great discounts at BuyCostumes.com or CostumeExpress.com

But what if you're creating your costume from scratch?

Creating Cheap Disney Costumes

Cheap Disney costumes can be easy to create if you plan well. Here's what you need to start...

Decide what you want to wear.

You probably have an idea or mental visual image of what you want to look like. But do you have an actual picture? Find an image online, or draw up what you want your costume to look like, so you have a "blueprint" to work with.

Identify the pieces you need to complete your costume.

Do you need a particular piece of clothing? Fabric? What kind of shoes will you need?

Identify your costume pieces before you begin your search.

Begin piecing together your costume.

Always refer to your costume image!
Search your belongings to see if you already have some items you can use for your costume.
Ask friends and family if they are willing to donate any items.
Join a Freecycle group and post the items you need.
Check out Craigslist for low-cost items.
Bring your costume image and list of pieces you'll need along with you to yard sales, thrift stores, discount stores, outlets, retail stores, craft stores and sewing stores.

Get Ready For the Ultimate Halloween at Disney!

Remember that you're not limited to the Disney Store - Halloween costumes are everywhere and can be created in many different ways. Disney Store Halloween costumes go fast, so shop early, or use what we've provided to do something totally unique for your costume.

If these tips don't work for you, think outside the box and brainstorm options that will work for you and your needs.

Begin creating your Disney character costumes as early as possible so that when it's time to celebrate Halloween at Disneyland (or anywhere else!) you're ready.

Happy Halloween!
