What is DisneyBounding?
In a nutshell, DisneyBounding is the art of dressing up as your favorite Disney character using regular clothing and accessories, rather than wearing a costume. It's a fun and subtle way to show off your Disney spirit, while still blending in with the crowd. This magical trend was started by Leslie Kay, creator of the popular DisneyBounding blog and Instagram account.
Why DisneyBound?
You might be thinking, "Why not just wear a costume?" Well, DisneyBounding offers several perks:
- Cost-effective: Costumes can be pricey, but DisneyBounding allows you to use items you already have, or purchase affordable pieces that can be mixed and matched for multiple outfits. - Comfortable: Who wants to wear an itchy, hot costume all day? DisneyBounding lets you wear clothes you're comfortable in, making your park day more enjoyable. - Subtle and sophisticated: Unlike costumes, DisneyBounding outfits can be tasteful and understated, perfect for adults who want to channel their inner child without looking like they're in a parade.
Getting Started: Choosing Your Character
The first step in DisneyBounding is picking your character. The possibilities are endless, from classic characters like Mickey and Minnie to modern faves like Moana and Elsa. Once you've chosen, it's time to start building your outfit.
Building Your DisneyBound: Tips and Tricks
Color Palette
Start by looking at your character's color palette. For example, Ariel's colors are blues, purples, and greens, while Belle's are golds, browns, and blues. Use these colors as a guide when selecting your clothes and accessories.
Fabrics and Patterns
Consider the fabrics and patterns your character wears. For instance, Jasmine's outfit has intricate beading and embroidery, while Rapunzel's is made up of flowing, pastel fabrics. Incorporate these elements into your outfit to create a cohesive look.
Accessories
Accessories are key in DisneyBounding. They're often the final touch that pulls your outfit together and makes it recognizable. Think about what your character carries, wears, or is known for. For example, Belle's iconic gold dress can be replicated with a yellow sundress and some gold jewelry.
Shoes
Don't forget about shoes! They can make or break your DisneyBound. Try to match the style and color of your character's footwear. If you're having trouble finding the perfect pair, consider wearing shoes that complement your outfit rather than matching it exactly.
DisneyBounding for Groups and Couples
DisneyBounding isn't just for solo park-goers. It's also a fun activity for groups and couples! You can DisneyBound as a pair or a group, creating themed outfits that complement each other. For instance, a group could dress up as the Fab Five (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto), or a couple could channel their inner Beauty and the Beast.
Taking Your DisneyBound to the Next Level
If you're feeling confident and creative, you can take your DisneyBound to the next level by adding temporary tattoos, face paint, or even a wig. Just remember, the goal is still to blend in, so keep it subtle.
Showing Off Your DisneyBound
Once you've nailed your DisneyBound, it's time to show it off! Take photos around the park, and don't forget to share them on social media using the hashtag #DisneyBounding. You might even inspire someone else to give it a try!
