Costume Guidelines

Dressing up is half the fun—but there are a few Disney rules to keep in mind before you don your wings, cape, or tiara.

• Pointed objects, such as swords, wands, or other props resembling weapons
• Costumes that resemble or are identical to Disney characters, to avoid confusion with official characters
• Costumes deemed hazardous, obstructive, or inappropriate by Disney Cast Members
