When we went a number of years ago in late October, my husband and I dressed up — but this year we’re going in august, the kids will be dressing up (light dresses and ears) and he and I will just be doing themed tees/tanks.
When DH and I went, he wore a Mickey Halloween t-shirt and I wore a Disney Halloween tank top. Lots of adults dressed like this. Plenty in costumes too. You wouldn't be out of place either way, Enjoy the party!
We got matching skeleton t-shirts, toddler will be in a tutu also. It's going to be way to hot for a real costume, so I would rather we all just be comfortable.
My teen kids wore a Halloween t-shirt and my husband and I dressed in regular t-shirts. There are plenty of people not dressed up. You are totally fine with whatever you wear. Enjoy!
We are all (kids included) just wearing shirts- not even to a specific theme, just everyone picked one out on Etsy that they liked. The kids all picked out Halloween themed shirts, mine is a "foolish mortal" shirt and DH has a Pirates "dead men tell no tales" one. I'm not messing with costumes in August.
We go every year. I did a sort of dress up once for a special occasion, but otherwise I never dress up. My wife and daughter take sort of a Disney bounding approach.
I have a Halloween-themed dress that I wear - very lightweight. One year my son simply wore his favorite basketball player’s jersey as is costume and I put a pink “princess” sash over my park clothes as my costume.
We've been to two so far, with a third planned for early September. SO doesn't do costumes, and honestly, I'm not big on them either. Our first party, I wore a "welcome foolish mortals" t-shirt I got off etsy and some Haunted Mansion Minnie Ears. The second party, we both wore MNSSHP shirts we had bought from the first party the year before. This year we'll be in some kind of basic Disney t-shirts again. You are welcome to wear a costume if you want, but certainly not required and you won't stand out if you are not in a costume.
I have a wilderness explorer uniform shirt and wilderness explorer hat, throw on some cargo and that was my adult Halloween party costume. Have seen numerous adult with Halloween themed Mickey heads like you can find on Etsy.
