Walt Disney World Resort Costume Guidelines​

All event attendees — including adults — may dress in their favorite costume and must follow these and other guidelines:
  • Costumes should be child-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive or violent.
  • Guests may wear masks. However, masks must not obstruct vision and eyes must be visible at all times.
  • Guests who dress like Disney Characters may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.
  • Costumes should not drag on the ground.
  • Costumes should not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest.
  • Costumes should not contain any weapons which resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BE FINE, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL/CHAT WITH DISNEY BEFORE YOUR TRIP!

I saw that. But on the same page it says 14 and older can NOT wear costumes. I think maybe the part you quoted is only for Halloween events? I really want to wear this but I certainly don't want to be turned away at the gate.

Nobody can tell you if they would consider that a costume. One CM might not think twice, another might. I'd just go ahead with it but have a change of clothes along in case you need it.

I don't think anyone is going to mistake someone wearing that for the actual Minnie, so that is not not likely to be an issue. This is meant for people attending a Halloween party wearing high quality replica costumes.

Thanks everyone. My significant other is concerned the outfit might get too many eyeballs on me ;) but I just think it would be fun to wear this.

If you're looking to Minnie Disney Bound, there are a lot of different red w/ polka dot dresses that don't look as "costumey" (imo) as that one. This is the one I'm wearing next week, currently $33 on amazon. The one you posted looks like it's made of polyester and has that "shine" to it, this one is cotton so it looks a bit more like a 'proper' dress.

I vote for one of those other dresses...I think the dress you showed a pic of is KINDA Provocative for Minnie Mouse! My opinion of course.
Either of the others would be classier and represent Minnie is a fashionable way and you're SO won't have to worry if you are turning heads with the wrong stare!

Well ... for the record, that's a model in the picture, not me! LOL I wish. :) I'm planning to wear a fluffy white petticoat underneath, and bright yellow sneakers, definitely not black stilettos. Also might wear a black sleeveless mock turtleneck under the dress.

The picture that you posted would be fine in terms of DIsney's criteria to get in the parks. I see similar outfits in the parks all the time. I don't think you would be comfortable in that dress though. It looks like it would get hot. How do you think it would do in the rain and after? Consider biker's shorts underneath for when you have to get in and out of ride vehicles - or not, you do you.

Thanks for the info! White spandex underneath is a good idea. I usually do, whenever I'm wearing a short dress or skirt.

No
That IS a costumer.
Its also an "adult" costume so I definitely would not wear it.
Wear a red and white polka dot dress and yellow shoes if you want to be Minnie mouse not a full on adult sexy Minnie mouse roleplay-ish costume.

Sorry to dig up this old thread ... A year later, I realized that I never shared a picture! SO convinced me to lean on the side of comfort and modesty, so I wore a red polka dot peplum top, black capris, yellow sandals, painted my fingernails/toenails silver, and of course I had to buy matching mouse ears. I also wore a mouse-ear rainbow pin that I found in a store at the Animal Kingdom. :) It was a great vacation, especially that day! I felt great wearing this outfit, and four people complimented me, so that made me feel pretty happy.
