While a lot of families will be dressing up in superhero costumes or as Heath Ledger’s Joker, why not try something different and dress up as a Disney character. All kids and adults love the World of Walt Disney and with the Halloween season right around the corner, Disney costumes will be really popular with trick-or-treaters. It will not take a lot to put together great halloween costumes for brothers. So it should not be surprising if you see plenty of adults and kids dressed up as familiar Disney characters. This is a good reason why it is never too soon to start shopping for this year’s Disney Halloween costume. You can be certain that they will sell out fast.
There is a wide range of Disney costumes for you and your children to choose from. The classic costumes such as Cinderella, Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Alice from Alice in Wonderland and Snow White will always be popular. Then there are the Disney costumes inspired by characters from Frozen, Toy Story, The Muppets, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Cars, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast which highlight the more recent movies.
A Pirate costume is a favorite for both parents and children. The whole family would have a lot of fun dressing up as some of the characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Plus don’t forget about good old Captain Hook!
For toddlers there are some wonderful costumes that include Tinkerbell, Fairies and Minnie Mouse. These particular costumes are always popular and look cute on younger children. For boys you can choose from Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody Toy Story costumes. For infants one of the cutest Disney costumes just has to be Winnie the Pooh and this costume is perfect for girls as well as boys.
As your children get older they start to want those more popular costumes from all the latest movies. Ideas for older kids include a Jack Sparrow costume or Jasmine from Aladdin. Another very popular choice for girls is the Hannah Montana costume as well as dressing up as Jessie from Toy Story.
A highly popular costume this year is Jake and The Neverland Pirates. This is one costume that you should definitely buy early as lots of kids are asking for this particular costume.
It can get expensive buying new Halloween costumes every year. If you have more than one child hopefully you can pass costumes down to younger children. Or dress up an older costume with a new mask or accessories.
One way to save on your budget when buying Halloween costumes is to start saving up earlier in the year for the costumes. You can even get your kids to start saving a little each week or month during the summer months. This can be really helpful if your kids want a new costume each year. Why not get them to help pay for it.
Another budget saving idea is to simply put a limit on what each child can spend on a costume. This way they can then choose something within your guidelines. You save money and they still get the costume they want. Older kids could add to this budget with money saved up from a paper route or grass cutting job.
Disney costumes are not very likely to go out of style. They release new movies with family-friendly characters every year and older movies are transferred from film onto DVDs and Blu-ray discs, creating renewed interest in the classics. A Disney costume can be a wise investment and even if you can’t hand it down to the younger generation you can still sell it on Ebay or at a yard sale.
