duranasaur -

As long as your cousin gives you the party tickets, you should have no problem entering the park before she does.

Thanks, Sherry!

Thanks, Tom. I had actually planned to mention the Halloween Time-themed call-in show in this thread (today) and talk it up a bit - since all of my Halloween Time peeps know me here anyway - but you posted your link before I had the time to do it!

 

[Sherry E]

Thanks. I'll let her know you like it. See the Mickey moon? SHe also tried to put a Hidden Mickey in the house but got lost somewhere.

Jim -

You know, I didn't notice the Mickey moon at first. Now I see it! The house would have been a great place to hide another Mickey. In any case, the design is great and it came out really well.

I'm sneaky like that.

Ok, I know there are no weapons allowed...so if one dresses as Woody, does one go weaponless?

Woody does not carry a gun. The costume sold in the park does not have one.

Oh, I guess he just has the holster then? *confused* either way, it is for 17mo DS so he won't have either, just wondering how that worked out.

Ahhhh!!!! I'm so excited and frustrated all at the same time!! We are heading to the party on the 15th and can't wait. However for the life of me I cannot think of fun costumes for DH and I that are fun, CHEAP, and comfortable!
We are entering the park at 3pm that day, so I have no idea what the weather will be like, plus we want to be comfortable! Wearing a costume for 7 or 8 hours could be a challenge!
Any suggestions?

Many people are wearing some sort of themed shirts. I saw M&M shirts the other day at Walmart and thought they could make a fun Halloween shirt. I've seen mentioned skeleton shirts, Incredibles shirts, pumpkin face shirts, and others.

My 8 y/o DD is wearing the Rapunzel wedding dress (she has short brown hair - perfect for the part) and I am making a Mother Gothel dress, and wearing a wig. I'm also concerned about the weather, and wearing the get-up until midnight. If I am coming into the park early, should I wear more comfortable street clothes, then change as it's closer to party time?

For those of you headed out there this weekend, DH texted me earlier today to tell me it will be in the 90's in Anaheim this weekend. Maybe less of a costume will be better Friday!

 

[KalamityJane]

Yikes! We will be there next weekend, (6 and 7th) thankfully I have 2 costumes for the kids, a hot weather one and a cool weather one!

Target has a ears and tail combo in a variety of animals that would work with the warmer weather. The price was $5 I think, typical cat, monkey choices

I am also looking for simple costume ideas for me and my best girl friend.

Thanks for all the great info in this thread. Another great DIS thread!!!

I would def. go with the t-shirts suggestions. You can boost it up with accessories. My daughter is going to go as Alice in Wonderland (full costume), My mom got a red t-shirt and put black felt hearts on it and got a crown for the queen of hearts, I had a pink striped shirt I put a big white felt smile on and got ears and a tail (not sure I'll wear the tail, but it was a set) for the Cheshire Cat....

...now if you really want to dress it up, you could get some 'el-wire'. If you've never heard of 'el-wire' it is really cool, battery, led tubing that is really easy to sew on to on to pretty much anything. If you google it don't be frightened the how to online make it seem harder than it is.

I ordered mine on ebay, but you might not have time. My DS24 has bought from a brick & motar in Mt. View (I saw that you're in the Bay Area) that he says is almost as reasonable as online.

There is a picture a posted earlier in thread if you want to see what it looks like. please feel free to PM, if you want more details.

Thanks! I have a heat press, so I could actually make a pretty cool t-shirt design! 3 Questions....
1. What day are you going to the party?
2. If it's not 10/15, can I steal your Cheshire Cat idea?
3. Where in Mt. view did you get the el-wire? Were you able to cut it, or do you sew it on in one piece? So coool!!!!

Any requests?

I have the same issue. My kids all have costumes from the Disney Store--including all the accessories DS sells for each specific costume. So, Peter Pan, Jake (of the Neverland pirates), and Captain Hook each have a dagger or sword. Are these plastic, Disney-freaking-branded items OK or not?
