My husband and I are also going as pirates, but low-key costumes: striped shirts (ruffled would work, too), skull bandanas, gold chains, a pirate map tucked in a back pocket, and pirate tattoos. I'll wear gold hoop earrings, too, and maybe an eyepatch -- husband thinks it would be too visually-impairing. I got everything on Amazon for less than $40, since I already had jewelry and printed the map at home. We might buy a fake sword at WDWMy Hubby is being a pain and when I mention halloween outfits he turns off, I'm going to get him some items to take. Any idea on cheap and easy pirate ideas for a man thats not too over the top. I am sure once he is there he will be fine lol x

Having the same problem with the guys in my family! Finally they agreed upon their favorite team baseball jerseys and baseball hats. Better then nothing I guess!My Hubby is being a pain and when I mention halloween outfits he turns off, I'm going to get him some items to take.

DD12, DD14, and I will be going as characters from Inside Out (can't wait to count how many other families will be going as that). DD12 will be dressing up as Joy, DD14 will be Disgust, while I will be dressing as Riley. We have all of the costumes and accessories, and luckily our outfits are ones that can be reused as everyday outfits too...woohoo. The only thing I want to look for is "orbs" for the girls to hold, another DISer on here suggested I look for plastic balls that I can fill and then put glow sticks (or I am thinking maybe glow bracelets) in of the colors of their characters. Thought that would look so cool in pictures especially at night. As for myself, since Riley is a huge hockey fan, I will be holding a sponge hockey puck for pictures. We are so excited for the party, we have loved going to the previous 2 parties that we attended...unfortunately my DH is being a party pooper that night because he wants to hop over to Epcot so he can have dinner and watch Illuminations...oh well, more trick or treating for us then

What about fish bowls, drill holes in each side, and use them as both the costume piece and a trick or treat bag? You could run L wire around the outside, line the inside with a bag, and defuse the l wire with crinkled up plastic.
I thought about breaking out my Belle ballgown for my "Belle after she's been married a few years and had a few kids" costume but decided that would be too hard to move around Disney World in.
