Oh, and I got a parasol from NOS as an accessory to my costume. Anyway, are you all going as Disney characters? In the countdowns I saw someone mentioned possibly going as the Billys. I think that is a great idea.

You were ahead of the curve! ; )

I am all about personal comfort My son in law is planning a Star Wars theme for our grandson and himself. Last year our grandson was too small for the costume so this is very exciting for them Our DD is still undecided but she will go for something fun. The mother in me keeps reminding them about comfortable shoes

Not sure where to find a Beast costume that would fit nicely in our suitcase. DH and DD are leaning towards being the Doughboy and his family in honor of our last name. (Poppin' Fresh has a girlfriend named Poppie, as far I know they do not have any kids.)

I still don't know what to choose! The theme of the cruise is gangster-ish, so I can't find a costume that will be good for both....yet.

Originally Posted By nemopoppins disneylandfan8, are you the trip countdown that mentioned maybe going as a Billy? I love an idea like that because you'll have lots of other disneyland fans (numbers 1 to 7, maybe more) complimenting you. And you'll know who KNOWS. You know what I mean? It's an inside thing. Me, I have to see Wall-E because I'm sure I'll not be getting a lot of the costumes just like I'm not understanding some of the above posts. I got the dress at a thrift store for $10 for my Dolly Levi costume. That's what inspired me. I'd love to do a family theme too, but that would be expensive, and I could never get my kids to agree on anything or my husband to dress up at all, although he'd make a perfect Horace Vandergelder.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros If you're going for the Billy look, see if you can get one of those name badges at the park the next time you're there (I think I've seen them at Le Petit Chalet by the Matterhorn, both Newsstands near the entrace to DL, and the Route 66 place in DCA) and see if you can get one that looks similar to the CM name tags, with the name Billy on it. If they give you a funny look, tell them it's for a family member who is at home, but wanted a souvenir. I know they're really strict about the names on the mouse ears, but I would assume that Billy would pass as a real name for the name tags...
Originally Posted By nemopoppins Maybe you could go as Scrooge, Darkbeer. I'm not pleased with these ticketed events either, but there's not much harm done when it's only DCA.
