Heard of “Disneybounding” But Too Afraid to Ask What It Means? We Can Help

Have you ever wanted to dress up like your favorite Disney character?

We all have our favorites. How fun would it be to blast off with Buzz like a space ranger or hang ten with Stitch on a wave? So, have you ever heard of the term “Disneybounding“? Let’s go over what it all means and how you can celebrate your favorite characters with style!

Disneybound is an easy way of saying “dress up in an outfit of regular, everyday clothes, that reminds you of a particular character.” Keep in mind that per Disney rules, you can’t actually dress up as your favorite character (unless you’re 13 and under) — but you can Disneybound. Again, it means your outfit is inspired by a Disney character but doesn’t directly reflect what they’re known for wearing.

Back when Galaxy’s Edge opened, Disney shared some examples of what’s permitted to wear.

And just to get them out of the way, here are the rules on Disney’s website:

For Guests ages 13 and under:

Costumes and some costume masks may be worn; masks must provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen.

For Guests ages 14 and older:

Costumes may be worn according to these guidelines. Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused entry into, and/or removed from Disney parks, unless his or her costume can be modified to meet the above standards:

All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.
Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable or violent.
Costumes may not contain any props or accessories that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest.
Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.
Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses)
Capes may be worn if the length does not go below the waist.
Themed T-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts and hats are acceptable.
Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords and tutus. Costume headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face.
Costume masks of any kind may not be worn.
