Morphsuit in disney?

[laughinplace199]

does saran wrap chafe?

Only when the weather is humid.

I don't see the big fascination with morphsuits, TBH. I think it's silly. But, people being afraid of them is just as silly.

Disney's reason for not liking them is because the face is covered, not because of phobics.

No comment on the Saran Wrap Speedo..

As for me, I couldn't less about making my kids wear coats. If they don't wear a coat, they'll get cold. It's a self-correcting problem and hardly requires parental intervention. Heck, one winter one of my kids refused to put his boots on before running out in the snow. I stuck a dry pair of socks in my pocket, picked up his boots and followed him outside. When his toes hit the ice, he started to cry. I said to him, "So, how do you feel about putting your boots on now?" I suppose that means I don't parent my kids...

Let's not forget all kids are different and for some, they MUST be made to wear a coat. My DD7 is so stubborn, she'd allow herself to get hypothermia or frostbite just so she wouldn't have to admit defeat.

Wow, I only read through 3 pages and can't take anymore of the comments.

To the OP: IMO the suit is not appropriate for WDW parks. You've been told the rules about face masks, simple as that.
However, I do not see anything wrong with letting him dress up in an appropriate Disney themed costume (since it's outside of Halloween).

As far as age and dressing up, we just went through this thought process with our teenage daughter. We were discussing how little girls like to dress in princess dresses to eat at CRT or Akershus. She immediately got excited asking if she was going to dress up. She is 14 so I told her no, she's too old for it but we can find her a nice princess shirt to wear or something. The look she gave me was heartbreaking! DH and I sat and talked about it while I thought more about it. He did not see a problem with it where as I thought people would think she had something wrong with her or something. The more I thought on it, the more I realized how absurd I was being for thinking that! Here I have a 14 year old girl who genuinely wants to experience the innocent joy of dressing up like a princess. She's not worried about what people think, nor is she seeking attention - she really doesn't like attention at all. It's all ME. So, I changed my way of thinking and she now has a Snow White costume to wear to our princess meals and she's going to be that much more happy in turn making me happy to see her pure innocent joy.

OP, show this to your son ! It's totally "theme appropriate" !! Imagine walking onto Test Track wearing this !!

 

[Mother Gothel]

LOL Why?

Not to rain on your parade but she may not be allowed to wear a costume into the park. I believe the cut off is 12 or 13

She would most likely be made to change as she is 14.

I'm sure, but I'll deal with that when we come to it. FAQ just says adults, unfortunately she is priced as an adult so I'm sure I'll run in to something.

The point was just because an older kid wants to dress up doesn't mean they are attention seeking.

It's any older than 12 and you have to be dressed in non-costume wear.

In your defense, because your DD will be entering the park with you, she will probably be told that she cannot pose for pictures with other guests and that she cannot accept gifts from other guests.

My DD, an adult, and her BF went in period dress to eat at Hollywood Brown Derby - they would have fit in on Dapper Day yet it wasn't Dapper Day. At the turnstiles, they were told the above two rules and even though guests asked to have photos taken with them, they followed the rules and had a great time at HBD and DHS.

You might want to consider a trip during MNSSHP in the future, where guests of all age are welcome to dress up.

As to whether she will be asked to change on a regular park day..... I imagine it will depend on how grown up she looks at age 14. I would make sure she has a change of clothes with her and is prepared to just go with the flow if anyone asks her to change.

Last summer a 15 year old dressed as Tink was asked to change, and she threw a crying fit, up to and including calling the media. Not a pretty sight. I will say that she was a very mature looking 15 though, in a skimpy Tink costume.

I agree.

I'm comparing myself at 14 and I was fully grown and I'm tall so there is no way I could have passed for younger person. And I would likely be upset and embarrassed if asked to change or singled out to be told how to act so I personally wouldn't risk it. The PP's daughter may be more go with the flow.

I think this would be a good idea for a 14 year old who wanted to go in costume (or any kid, really). Aside from Dapper Day, there's also "DisneyBounding." You get all the fun of dressing up and creating a clever costume, without necessarily attracting a lot of attention or breaking any rules.

Some of those outfits were great - some were too close to looking like costumes to pass by the gate, IMO. And some I didn't see the relationship at all, LOL! But no matter my opinion, it's great that adults want to be creative about Disney-fying themselves too.

Unique rules do have to be made for unique kids. I was responding to the idea that all good parents make their kids wear coats on cold days.

You're a good mom! It take real maturity and empathy to be able to step outside of yourself and let your kids be themselves.

I remember my mother flipping out way back in the 80's over my jean jacket with the pin collection on the front. By the time she got to "What will people think!?" I realized that her issues were all in her mind. Because she'd be embarrassed to be seen wearing a jean jacket with pins in public, she was equally embarrassed by me wearing it. She felt that anything I did reflected on her.

Later, when my daughter was a very tall seven year old, she decided she was going to be a "sleek black cat". This meant pulling on her ratty black leggings and the black tee shirt that was too small, and sticking a sock down the back of her pants to be a "tail", and skipping awkwardly everywhere on her toes (because cats are graceful). She was not graceful and not sleek and my first reaction was, "Oh God, people are going to think she's a freak, or special needs!"

Then I took a deep breath and went, "I'm not my mother and she's not me, and no stranger really cares." And I let her go!

Your daughter's going to have a wonderful time!

Actually, she just can't be wearing anything that might cause people to legitimately mistake her for the "real" princess. So don't go all out on the hair and makeup, and you should be fine.

That Tinkerbell girl who got all the fuss was wearing a *very* convincing, and rather sexy, Tinkerbell costume. And she'd done her hair to match. Plus wings. And I believe one news article said she'd been taking pictures with kids outside the gates.

It was just a bit much.

In your defense, because your DD will be entering the park with you, she will probably be told that she cannot pose for pictures with other guests and that she cannot accept gifts from other guests.

That's awesome!

Last time we were at Disney (last Spring), I saw a gentleman who looked a heck of a lot like Captain Jack (right down to the dreads!) riding the rides in the Magic Kingdom.

I also saw a grown lady wearing Minnie Mouse's costume, right down to the shoes and gloves, and with ears on a headband.

I think as long as you're careful to keep the line between guest and cast member reasonably obvious, and don't take pictures with anyone, you should be fine dressing up. Even as an adult.

Which ones did you think wouldn't pass the gates? They all looked fine to me.

I've seen FAR more costume-y outfits in the parks. We saw a guy who was a dead ringer for Jack Sparrow, hair and all, riding the rides.
