MHP costume question?

[FabJarrett]

Hi guys! This is my first time posting on the forum so I hope I'm doing this right.

I'm seventeen years old and I'm going to Disneyland/Mickey's Halloween party in a couple of weeks. I know that children of course are allowed to wear costumes (so my 12 and 9 year old siblings are very excited!!) but I'm not exactly sure on the (young) adult costume regulations? I've read on the Disney website that adults CAN dress up but I'm wondering a couple of things:

• How many people (other than young children) actually do dress up?
• What are the rules regarding dressing up as Disney characters? I'm planning on being Anna from Frozen, because I've heard that I look like her (heehee), but I don't want to be mistaken as the REAL Anna and confuse little kids. I've heard that it's okay to dress up as Disney characters, as long as you don't sign autographs or anything, but I just wanted to get a definitive answer.

If anyone can help me out, it'd be much appreciated!! Even sharing your costume-related experiences at MHP would be lovely.

Thanks guys!!!

Lots and lots of adults dress up. Mostly Disney characters. As long as you aren't passing yourself off as the real thing it should be fine. I was the Queen of Hearts last year.

Me too!

Dressing up is a lot of fun just so long as you follow the rules outlined on the website - e.g. no sharp objects, nothing dragging on the ground, no masks that hide your eyes

I saw someone dressed as Anna last year and she look fairly close to the "real" character; enough so that several children ran up to her yelling "Anna." Unfortunately, there really isn't anything that can be done to prevent some people from mistaking you as the "real" character if you look that close. I would think up what you plan to say to avoid being asked to pose for photos or sign autographs before you go to the party so you aren't caught unprepared at the party.
