I recently became aware of something called Disneybounding - dressing vaguely as a character around the parks.
Does anyone else do this?
I just bought a pair of mermaid leggings and plan to pair them with a purple top of some description :D
ive never disneybounded i have always wanted to do it purely because im not allowed in the parks in my cosplays (which makes me sad :P )
This is more popular in the American parks, more specifically Disneyland California.Most people in Disneyland Paris barely wear any Disney clothing or merchandise, lol.
Snow White seems to be the most popular, as its so easy to do, yellow skirt, blue tshirt, red bandanna
I am thinking about doing this in June when I go to Disneyland California, probably Arial or Tinkerbell
we do it every visit and have Loads of fun!
Its a bit harder for guys, but I've got one planned for my upcoming trip :D
Never done it but nearly always have Disney tops on and so do my kids :)
We saw loads of kids in Disney Princess outfits but didnt see one adult dressed up or even trying to look similiar to the characters probably because it was sooo cold when we went! lol
just got my son a plain orange and done bRight blue pants. making him a yellow waistcoat myself and bought him a hat with goofy ears off eBay. we're good to go! I make myself a dress our shirt using disney fabric and get dso maNy comments! last year I made my teenage daughter a satin knee length rockabilly skirt and a floor length organza overlay very pprincessy and she also bought a red polka dot rockabilly dress which Minnie was very impressed with. it was such fun interacting with characters
I had an Anna disneybounding outfit, nothing very special and not that obvious (though husband worked it out). brown boots, bright blue jeans, burgundy long cardigan, black jumper with turquoise top. plus hair in braids :-)
I'm definitely adding some more outfits before my next visit!
Have fun wearing your Disney themed outfits and t shirts but be aware that if you are an adult you are not permitted to dress in character costumes. They are very strict on this and will ask you to return to your hotel to change. Only on Halloween night are adults allowed to character dress. It is fine for kids all year round

I never realised this (although I guess its obvious when you think about it!).
I disneybound every trip ;D
My favourite is a polka dot dress and yellow shoes, Minnie loved it last time ;D ;D ;D
I really love disney bounding but I only really do it in the parks. Last year I did a Minnie bound (red and white polka dot shirt with a black skirt and ears) and I got great interaction from characters and a lot of cast members commented on it! At the moment me and my sister are planning ours from our next trip in may!
I always wear Disney merch such as my Disney vans... The beginning of the month we went and it was freezing, there was a young lady there who was disneybounding as Alice... She was wearing a blue tulle dress/skirt, clear/plain tights and black pumps... Even to look at her I felt cold. It was something like 2C and snowing :o Don't get me wrong, I would probably do it...in the summer, but come on, there's a limit!! I was freezing and I had thermals on and a thick winter coat! People were looking at her like she was mad! I wonder if she was British... We Brits seem to have an amazing ability to not wear many clothes when most of our fellow (smarter) Europeans are very well wrapped up! ;D (I'm British by the way so don't hate!) :-X

which is the point of Disney Bounding, its character THEMED dressing, not dressing in costume. For example, Disney bounding as Snow White would mean a girl wearing yellow shorts, a blue t-shirt and a red hair-band, not actually wearing a Snow White princess dress.
Its very popular in the American parks
Love Disney Bounding! I always do it at the parks, both in DLP and WDW.
I think this year I'll be bounding as Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Lightning McQueen and 101 Dalmatians. I may also try a BB8 Disney Bound too! If anyone is interested, you can see some of my Disney Bound outfits from November (WDW) on my Instagram - @shouls
Yay so glad people enjoy doing this! I'm about to order my purple vest to match my mermaid leggings, I can't wait! I might try find some red jeans to do a Mickey disneybound too...
I've also purchased a dress with the stained glass window print from beauty and the beast I can't wait to wear that too! :D
