Costume change applies to MNSSHP?

Yet up I-4 a ways one is ENCOURAGED to buy and wear full length Hogwarts Robes... But at the 'Home of Star Wars' a Jedi robe is verboten, Could it just be that Disney is run by humorless suits who want to suck the fun out of everything they cannot profit from.

A home made wooden shank?

If you are crafting prison rules than they would not even need to do that. Plastic forks and real knives abound in restaurants.

Of course Celebration Place started the whole mess with the 'Show Your Disney Side' campaign and 'Disneybounding' got started....

Eh, you have your timeline flipped here. Disneybounding was first, then Celebration jumped on board with the Disney side campaign. You think they could have come up with that on their own? It didn't have "Magic", "Celebrate", "Dreams" or "Wishes" in the title.

Sorry about that and appreciate the correct timeline data cosplay has never been an interest of mine I was the kid who did not trick or treat because I hated dressing as someone other than myself

Which are purposely not run TSA style like Disney.

You can get your wife to dress up as a nurse? My hat is off to you sir!

To be fair, the first five or so nurses costumes I found online she gave a definitive no to

Does anyone know when dates for the parties will be announced?

Just wondering... Why isn't a hat that makes you look like you have ears like a mouse considered a costume? I don't think that would be something worn everyday.

 

[twilight mitsuk]

worn everyday at Disney parks

It would be very hard to hide anything under the hat. The costume rule is for safety, not how you look in the park.

 

[twilight mitsuk]

so you can't be mistaken for a character

It would be very hard to hide anything under the hat. The costume rule is for safety, not how you look in the park.

So costumes that you can't hide anything in are OK? I thought the policy says that no one over 14 is allowed to wear a costume. My question is more along the lines of what defines a costume. I would think that a costume would be wearing something that you don't normally wear. For me, wearing mouse ears falls into this category.

I didn't say that you could wear a costume, I was stating that the rules are for safety, big bulky costumes can hide things. Mouse ears can't, and they're not considered a costume.

But who defines what is a costume and what isn't? You say that mouse ears are not a costume. But what if a mouse tail is added? Is it a costume then, or is a fur suit needed for it to become a costume?

Also, cargo shorts and a sweatshirt can hide things, but these are not banned. You may say that these are screened at security, but why can't "costumes" be screened as well?

Not to be pedantic, but Disneybounding and Cosplay are two separate things. To whit: Disneybounding is "normal" clothing worn inspired by a character, attraction, theme, etc. It's inspired by. Cosplaying is the art of making an accurate recreation of a character's costume. It's about being highly detailed and accurate in replicating the exact look.

i.e. Disneybound Snow White:

Cosplay Snow White:

No one should confuse a Disneybound for a cast member or "authentic" character but a cosplayer would likely run into problems (and has, therefore, always been banned in the "no costumes on adults" policy.)

It's Disney/CM's discretion of whether or not it's a costume. Mouse ears are not a costume, and Disney has been selling them for 60 years.

So, if Disney sells it, then it's allowed?
How about a Stormtrooper outfit, available on the Disney website?
It's up to a frontline CM to determine if a person is not allowed into the park because their outfit looks too much like a prince/princess/caveman/cowboy?

You keep twisting my words. All I said was that Disney's been selling them. It's not how much you look like the character, it's you CAN'T have a costume. You can go into the parks Disney bounding as Ariel with green pants and a purple tshirt, but you can't walk in with a mermaid tail and a seashell bra.

I don't mean to twist your words. My point is that they say you aren't allowed to wear a costume in the parks, but they don't define what constitutes a costume.
