Disney costumes are always popular for Halloween. Young children and adults equally love to dress up like Disney characters at Halloween. It isn’t hard to figure out why. Disney characters are archetypes of characters that speak to everyone. Little kids love to play make believe and use their imaginations and the fairy tale like characters from Disney movies inspire kids to dream. Adults love Disney characters because they are reminded of happy childhood memories like singing along with The Jungle Book movies or waiting for Mary Poppins to show up and take them into a chalk drawing on the sidewalk for an adventure. Disney characters have changed over the years to appeal to modern audiences but fairy tale appeal of Disney’s heroes and heroines has never died down.
Some of the most popular Disney Halloween Costumes are:
Snow White – Snow White costumes and Wicked Stepmother costumes, along with costumes of the Seven Dwarves, are always in high demand at Halloween. Snow White has a very unique look among Disney characters. Her jet black hair can be created with a wig or with temporary Halloween hair dye. If you don’t have blue eyes you can copy hers with colored contacts. A Snow White Halloween costume will provide the iconic blue and yellow dress that Snow White wears in the Disney movie. The sweeping Wicked Stepmother costume is regal and intimidating and instantly recognizable.
The Little Mermaid – Ariel, the mermaid who wanted to be human in order to be with her prince, is a classic Halloween costume. Little girls and grown up girls alike identify with this mermaid princess who is willing to sacrifice everything for love. Mermaid costumes are also a lot of fun to wear, which is part of the reason why Ariel is seen all over on Halloween.
Tinkerbell – The little fairy from Peter Pan is almost more popular than the boy hero in that story. From toddlers to tweens little girls love to dress like fairies, and Tinkerbell is one of the most memorable fairies of all. Wings, pixie dust, and other ethereal accessories can finish off a Tinkerbell costume in style.
Prince Charming – Prince Charming appears in many incarnations throughout Disney stories but he is always dashing, always romantic, and always swoops in to save the day. Men like dressing as Prince Charming, but little boys may prefer to dress like the pirates from Peter Pan or the Lost Boys instead. Men who don’t think they fit into the Prince Charming mold might also like wearing a Captain Jack Sparrow costume from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Jasmine – The lovely Eastern princess from the Aladdin story is beloved by millions of girls. Jasmine’s harem pants and top, along with some sparkly makeup, are a fun costume for an active little girl. Adult women also love dressing up in Jasmine costumes because of the exotic clothes.
There is a Disney character costume to suit everyone’s personality. Old or young, everyone has at one point or another dreamt of being the hero or heroine of a Disney fairy tale. Halloween is the perfect chance to create your own fairy tale with a Disney costume.

All your children’s favorite Ice Age characters are back in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Dinosaur costumes are always popular with kids, and now your kids can dress up as their favorite Ice Age characters from the first two films and some new dinosaur characters from Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs too.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an animated film that was created using state of the art 3D technology. The film opens with Ellie and Manny expecting a baby mammoth. Manny is busily preparing a home for his growing family and is obsessed with making sure everything is just right. Diego has left the herd because has started to doubt his hunting abilities and wonders if he’s losing his predatory nature. Sid decides that he wants a baby like Manny and Ellie so he adopts three eggs that he finds which seem to be abandoned. However the morning after Sid adopts them the eggs hatch revealing three baby Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaurs. The baby dinosaurs are energetic and scare off all the other babies in the area with their rough play. Just when Sid is thinking that he is in over his head the mother Tyrannosaurus appears to reclaim her babies. She take Sid and the three babies and runs off with Diego tracking her. Manny, Ellie, Crash, Eddie and Diego set off to go rescue Sid. They go through an ice tunnel and discover a rainforest jungle where there are dinosaurs that everyone believed to be extinct.
The group is threatened by an Ankylosaurus that Diego can’t seem to stop, and the group appears to be in trouble until a new character, Buck, appears. Buck is a rakish weasel with one eye who is intent on tracking down Rudy, a white carnivorous dinosaur called a Baryonyx, who took his eye. Buck saves the group and joins them to help in the quest to get Sid back because he has been living in the jungle for awhile and knows it very well. Sid, meanwhile, has been charming the mother dinosaur with his care for her children. He is soon accepted by her and taken in as part of the family. The next day Rudy attacks the little family and Sid is thrown into a perilous fall over Lava Falls. As Sid is lying suspended over Lava Falls Ellie goes into labor not far from the falls. Manny goes back to help Ellie, Diego take up a position as a lookout for Ellie and Manny, and Buck takes Crash and Eddie up the falls to rescue Sid.
Manny and Ellie have a healthy baby girl that they name Peaches. Sid is rescued, and the group prepares to return to their glacial world. But on their way back Rudy attacks the group. The mother Tyrannosaurus appears and knocks Rudy off a cliff, although an ominous growl says that Rudy is not gone for gone. Manny, Ellie and Peaches return home with Sid, Crash and Eddie. Buck decides to continue looking for Rudy, and Diego decides to stay with the pack after all.
Halloween can be just as much fun for infants and toddlers as it can be for older kids, but when you’re choosing costumes for your little ones it’s important to take into consideration some of the special needs that infants and toddlers have. Here are some things to think about and fun costume ideas for infants and toddlers:
Weather – if you live in an area where fall is in full swing by the time that Halloween rolls around you should pick a costume for your infant or toddler that comes with some layers or is thick enough to keep your child warm without having to put a coat on the child. If you live in an area that is cold by Halloween some good costumes for little ones are: a pumpkin, an Easter egg, a punk rocker, an elf from Santa’s workshop, a dragon, a bunny, a teddy bear, a fish or dolphin, or other animal costumes. If you live in an area that isn’t quite so cold during the winter then you can choose from costumes like: a mermaid, a hippie, a flapper, a fairy, or another costume that isn’t made of heavy fabrics.
Ease of Movement – Even though infants won’t need a lot of room to move in their costumes you should pick infant costumes that are easy to get on and off to make diaper changes easy. A good choice for infant costumes is to pick one of your child’s favorite TV or book characters like Blue from Blue’s Clues, Bob the Builder, Dora the Explorer, a character from Sesame Street, Curious George, or one of the Teletubbies. These costumes usually are made up a single piece that zips which make diaper changes and getting the infant in and out of the costume easy. For toddlers look for costumes that won’t restrict their movements or make it difficult for them to walk with tripping. Superhero costumes are great choice for toddlers because they usually have tights and leotards that make movement easy but keep kids warm. Ballerina costumes, cowboy costumes, and animal costumes that have sturdy feet also are good choices for toddlers.
Minimum fuss – If you’re looking for a costume for an infant or toddler look for costumes like a cat, a bat, a puppy, a policeman, a witch, a bug, and other costumes that don’t have a lot of pieces or require a lot of makeup. Chances are good your infant or toddler isn’t going to sit still while you dress him or her up in a fussy costume and will end up wiping off any makeup you put on them. So choose a costume that is fun but also simple. That way the costume will look just as good at the end of the night as it did at the beginning of the night.
There are a lot of adorable infant and toddler costumes you can pick from so remember to have fun and pick a costume that reflects both your personality and your child’s personality. It won’t be hard to find a costume that is safe, weather appropriate and fun for both you and your child.
