MNSSHP - Costume or not?

rlcarmichael · 1 Day Ago

Thinking about hitting one of the party's in early Oct. Not a big costume type, and I absolutely HATE masks.

How out of place will I feel not in costume? I'm looking at dinner in EPCOT then over to MK plus it's a pain to have to put something together and pack it down.

We went to the P&P party with simple eye patches and pirate bandannas. It was fun to have a costume when we arrived. As the night went on, the costumes came off and we felt completely comfortable without.

it might be different for the Halloween party, but at P&P, it was about a 50/50 mix of people who had some sort of costume and those who didn't.

Hey, I have my pirate bandanna from Pirates Night on the DCL Wonder! And some tattoos! And DS & I actually have pirate blood.

You will not be out of place without a costume on. The first time we dressed up, the second and thrid time we just wore Halloween Shirts (amazingly you can buy them there!!).

Ditto!!
You will not feel out of place without a costume!
I think a child may feel a little left out without one (depending on how young) - but an adult would be just fine! I always dress up my DS4. Sometimes my DH and I dress up, sometimes we just go in regular cloths. No matter what, you will have a BLAST!!!

I don't think I will be wearing a costume. We thought about it but similar to you, we have plans before hand.

We'll probably buy something at the park when we get there.

My two youngest will be in costumes, but my oldest daughter, who is 12, my husband and I will all be in T-shirts I am making just for the occasion. We will be eating at Le Cellier before the party, so I bet they aren't interested in a family of 5 dressed up in costumes eating steak at their restaurant!

Do not worry about not wearing a costume. I was cringing at the thought of wearing a costume when I decided to wear a princess t-shirt and tiara. I will still be in my comfy park clothes but I will feel dressed up.

DH said he just wanted to wear a "This is my costume" T shirt. We did come up with something else but he is not wearing a "costume" either.

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would not be out of place. We went last year, and did not dress up. It was about 50 - 50. We bought the Halloween T-shirts, and wore them. We are on the fence for doing a small costume this year (Mousketeer T-shirts and ears). Not sure though.

Well neither of my DSs would qualify as kids any more. One is 23 and the other is 27 - how I'm not sure because I'm SURE I'm not old enough to have kids that old!

Looks like 10/10 party for us. My flight doesn't get in until 8:45 PM on the 9th.
