50 Best Disney Family Costumes, So Everyone Can Be Their Favorite Characters This Halloween
There are SO many new Disney costumes ready for you in 2021.
Between Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel and new shows on Disney+, there is quite the selection of new Disney offerings this year. And we say: Keep them coming! With every new movie or series, we just get more inspiration for Disney family costumes. We've rounded up Halloween ideas for our favorite characters in all sizes for easy group costumes. Whether you're looking for a coordinated sibling set, best-friend costumes, an extended family costume or a "Mommy & Me" look, we've got ideas for gatherings of all different types. (And not into the whole Disney thing? Not to worry, we also have other ideas for babies, toddlers and big kids.)
So, which direction are you going to go in? This year alone, we saw the release of Raya and the Last Dragon, Luca, Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision — and there's still Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and The Jungle Cruise to come. So are you going to be a water dragon, or a sea monster? A super hero, or a witch just coming into her powers? Or will you choose a classic Disney combo instead? With these group costumes, the kids get to steal the spotlight, but we've thought of fun ways for adults to get in on the act, too, because you never really get too old to dress up.
Get your kids ready to unite the lands with this Raya costume. Then you can step in and be Sisu — aka the fun part. Raya costumes are only in kid sizes, but Sisu goes from kid to adult.
Can't stop talking about the first female-led Avengers movie, even after all these years? Then you have to dress up as Captain Marvel. Dress your kid as the same for a Mommy & Me Halloween.
The best thing about Cruella is definitely the costumes, so your kid might want to step into this dress so much, they won't mind the whole turns-into-a-villain thing.
Until fuller costumes for Luca and Alberto come along, this nice and easy hoodie will have to suffice. And Giulia? All she needs is cuffed pants, a striped shirt and a hat and she's good to go. It's a perfect sibling costume.
It's taken way too long for Black Widow to get her own movie, but it's worth it, because we get this super-cool all-white suit. Add a black vest if she wants to be Yelena Belova instead.
And no family would be complete without Alexei Shostakov. (If you don't like this look of David Harbour's, you can drop the Disney pretense and wear his Hawaiian shirt from Stranger Things instead.)
Elsa's costume features "icy" details. There's also Frozen 2's traveling dress and end-of-movie costume, so everyone can be a different Elsa without repeating. For another Frozen option, your little one can dress up as everyone's favorite silly snowman Olaf. (Or is that your job?)
And where Elsa goes, so goes Anna. She can go for the classic dress, or one from Frozen 2. And where there's an Anna, there's a Kristoff — be it a big Kristoff or a little one.
Mulan came out while everyone was still watching movies from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That means that Mulan costumes didn't really get their chance to shine, so break them out again for this year.
The Loki series on Disney+ may have renewed an interest in the Trickster God. And, with that amazing headpiece, who wouldn't want to dress up as the Frost Giant?
If your kid wants to dress as Loki, you might want to be part of the Time Variance Authority to give everyone the heads-up that no time branches will be created on Halloween. Then again, if you want to be more mischievous, you can dress as your own variant.
There's no better way to get in touch with your spidey senses than by dressing up as Spider-Girl. Add the rest of the Avengers for a cool group costume.
You can DIY this Jungle Cruise hero pretty easily with a striped shirt, red ascot and chunky suspenders, or just get this shirt, where it's all printed on there for you.
And if you're dressing as folks from the Jungle Cruise, pay homage to the original Disneyland ride by bringing along a little hippo. (Be careful! They're cute, but they attack!)
This Mad Hatter costume is modeled after the theatrical live-action version of Alice in Wonderland rather than the cartoon. And what's a Hatter without an Alice? These looks will get them so excited, they'll do the Futterwacken.
Make this year's Halloween costume a tribute to your favorite magical nanny. Then bring along a pal dressed as Bert or a kid dressed in Mary's famed white dress. It'll be a jolly holiday indeed.
