Create your looks that are perfect for Disney theme parks made of regular clothing pieces that are comfortable to wear. For tweens, they can use clothing already in their closet that will work with their Disney outfit ideas or find a few new items that work best for the characters they have in mind.

I suggest picking their top two to three characters that they would like to craft an outfit around for their Walt Disney World or other Disney Parks trip, then get to work putting pieces and accessories together to create a look. 

5 Easy Steps to Creating Your Disneybound

1. Choose a Character
2. Research and Find Inspiration
3. Color Palette and Patterns
4. Choose Clothing Pieces
5. Accessorize

Choose a Character

Start by having your tween pick their favorite Disney character, and narrow it down to no more than 2-3 characters to focus on at one time. These characters could be from movies, TV shoes, or even the theme park attractions.

Consider what they like about the characters – their outfit colors, personality, signature accessories, or other attributes.

Research and Find Inspiration

Watch movies and shows to revisit the character’s story! Search online to find photos of your character, this will help you hone in on different clothing color choices and accessory choices.

Color Palette and Patterns

Note the primary colors of the character’s outfit and incorporate them into your outfit choices. Look for patterns or textures that are specific to your character.

Choose Clothing Pieces

Use everyday items from your current wardrobe that match the character’s color. Or if your tween needs new pieces, take a fun shopping trip to find the perfect character inspired items. This can be a fun part of the trip planning process!

Accessorize with Your Character in Mind

Use signature accessories that are iconic to the character, like a big bow for Minnie Mouse or seashell necklace for Ariel. Encourage your tween to make a special accessory for their outfit if they love to craft. This adds a personal touch.

Bonus Step: Have Fun!

Other Character Outfit Ideas

• Mickey Mouse: Red shorts, black top, yellow shoes, and ears.
• Belle: Yellow dress, rose accessory, and a book bag.
• Ariel: Green skirt, purple top, and seashell necklace.
• Simba: Tan romper, yellow shirt, and animal print accessories.
• Elsa: Blue dress or skirt, sparkly accessories, and a snowflake ears.

Disney clothes don’t have to feel childish or too young for your tween. They can also choose characters from the Villians lineup, Star Wars, or Marvel for a unique twist on some of their favorites.

If it’s their first time creating a Disneybound, this is a great way for them to try out new clothing styles and they may even find some new favorites. 

Crafting Your Disneybound Ensemble

By using everyday clothing items and accessories, you can create an ensemble that is inspired by your favorite Disney character. Start by choosing a color palette that is associated with your chosen character, and then look for clothing items that fit within that color scheme.

Adding accessories like hats, jewelry, and bags can also help tie the look together. This is a fun way to make your Disney outfits both unique to you and is a way to express your unique style!

Disneybounding is a great option for different occasions, whether you’re heading to a theme park or just hanging out with friends. You can tailor your outfit to fit the occasion by choosing clothing items that are appropriate for the weather and the activities you’ll be doing.

Choosing Your Character

You can select any Disney character that you love and want to embody through your outfit. Whether it’s Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Elsa, Ariel, Buzz Lightyear, Princess Leia, Rapunzel, Sorcerer Mickey, or any other character, the possibilities are endless.

Essential Disneybound Elements

To create a Disneybound outfit, you need to incorporate essential elements of the character’s style into your ensemble. This can be achieved through color schemes, patterns, and clothing items that reflect the character’s style. For example, if you’re Disneybounding as Belle, you might wear a yellow skirt red rose accessories.

Accessorizing Your Disneybound

Accessories are an important part of any Disneybound outfit. They can help tie your outfit together and make it look more complete. Consider adding masks, hats, jewelry, or other accessories that match the theme of your Disneybound outfit.

Disneybounding for Different Occasions

These outfits aren’t just for a day at the theme park, mix and match pieces to wear for a lot of different occasions!

Casual Disney Park Visits

You can also accessorize with a Disney-themed backpack or hat. One of my favorite things to add to my outfits is a backpack that works as an outfit accessory and is also functional to carry everything I need around the parks!

Choose a classic character like Snow White, Minnie Mouse or Goofy to keep your outfit classic! 

Seasonal Disney Events

Disney Parks is the place to be during the holidays and there are a number of specialseasonal events throughout the year, especially for Halloween and Christmas.

For Halloween, consider dressing up inspired by your favorite Disney villain or spooky character, while for Christmas, you can wear a festive sweater or dress in red and green. You can also incorporate Disney characters into your outfit, with a fun holiday Loungefly mini backpack.

Disneybounding at Home and Beyond

Disneybounding isn’t just limited to the parks. Since the outfits are made up of regular outfit pieces, you can wear all of the items in-between your Disney trips too! Choose items that you can wear to regular everyday events and they will be a fun reminder of your Disney trip. 

Hopefully these ideas for tweens will help them transition from the princess dress wearing years, to their tween and teen years with style! Whether they’re visiting a Disney park or headed to a party with friends, there’s always a fun way to incorporate Disney into your outfit.
