What Costume for MNSSHPP?

[Tator Tot's Mom]

We are trying to decide what type of costume our 4yr old son should wear for MNSSHP? At home we have to dress in polar fleece and Parkas for trick or treating- so we need an alternate costume for disney. Also- who thinks adults should dress up? Suggestions for costumes?
Our almost 2 year old daughter will be a "Sprite-like Fairy" Mt sister is desiging a fabulous costume great for hot weather, and easy to run around in. Any suggestion for our son or us? There will be 4 adults in our group- 2 men 2 women. Thanks for your input.

Adults definately dress up - it is so cool to be in WDW and feel like a kid again and then be able to dress up in a Halloween costume like one too My friend and I dressed up like princesses (not the Disney ones, just regular ones with crowns and stuff) and the CM's called us "your highness" and "your majesty" it was so cool. When we went last year it was in the 80's during the day (not humid at all) but in the upper 60's to low 70's at night - we walked around in sleeveless shirts and shorts - not sure if it's always like that though. I saw many people there who coordinated their costumes - Star Wars characters (mom was leia, dad was luke, etc) skeletons, pixies, brides, cheerleaders - you name it, it was there. You son could do a power ranger, a pirate, buzz lightyear, a rock star - whatever he wants. Just no weapons or sharp objects, nothing the whole face, and nothing that would obstruct getting on and off rides.

I hope you have a blast!!!

We are from Nova Scotia, Canada so our Halloween costumes are designed to fit over snow suits ! But when we went to MNSSHP 2 years ago our whole family dressed as pirates. I ordered the costumes online from California. DS6 was light, short pants with a muscle shirt and my husbands as identical...mine was a short pirate dress. This year we are going as hippies. I am going to make tye dye mickey shirts for the boys and I already have my costume....have lots of fun!

It was so warm during our late Oct MNSSHP 2 years ago that my younger ds became a shorts-wearing "cowboy." He got quite a few chuckles.

We went once during this and had such fun dressing up! Our family went- 2 as
Minnie, and 2 as Mousketeers. Very easy, and appropriate! DD and I had
Minnie costumes, and I made Mouseketeer shirts for DH and DD, and we bought
monogrammed "ears" before.

Also, another family with us went as pirates, and they were all very cute, too!

Have fun!

We are going Oct 21st and we are all dressing up. Just keep the heat in mind.

We always dress for MNSSHP. We normally try to coordinate our outfits. Pirates and doctors are our favorite stand by costumes. Nothing too frou frou and hot...but we still want to be part of the fun.

It is definitely hot in late Sept early Oct. so you might want to shop online for costumes geared toward the south. Our son was sooo hot in his Buzz Light year and it was not cotton. So I highly recommend a cotton light sleeve costume. DH and I just wore orange and black for the spirit of it.
