princess costumes

I am going to Disney in September. Could anybody tell me how much a full Cinderella & Snow White costume would be?:confused: :confused: :confused:

They are surprisingly expensive in the parks - roughly $65 but this is for a really nice quality dress, lots of nice twidly bits sewn on etc. There is a lovely lovely shop in Fantasyland with a brillaint selection - "Tinkerbell's Treasures". World of Disney at DTD also has a good range but to honest the outfits are everywhere.

The price goes up in a frightening manner when your little princess (as mine did!) realise they can also get matching shoes, tiaras, jewellery etc etc to go with it!! This will probably add another $30 or so. So you aren't looking at much change from $100 in Disney itself for a full outfit.

I think you can get dresses cheaper elsewhere, not sure about the quality (but then the princesses don't tend to care do they LOL?) and they do grow out of them so quickly! I have bought some in Woolies for £15 and my girls don't know the difference!

Disney have a sale on here in uk at the mo you might get lucky even if its only the accessories.

Cheaper if you just take a picture!!! (Guess the children would be less satisfied, though)

We have quite a collection now in various sizes :p:

Cinderella, Belle, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine and Lilo.

I'm telling myself that this trip no-one is getting a Disney dress!!!

DDs are 9 & 7 now, so hopefully I can talk them out of it with another expensive gift of some sort. We are running out of wardrobe space!!!

They are good quality though...they have all lasted a good few years of serious playing with.

You could look at the Disney store on line. The US Disney store is normally alot cheaper than the UK. Then you could go to the Store in Florida Mall. http://disney.store.go.com/DSSearch.process?restartflow=t&CLK=DS_14418_SEARCH_FRM&Searchstr=costume

I got some bargains in the Character Warehouses (Disney Outlet). Cinderella and Snow white dresses were only $12!!!! They only had very limited sizes and they were flying off the shelves, so you would need to be lucky. They are worth a look though, there is one at Lake Buena Vista outlets, the Premium Outlets and two at Belz. They sell genuine Disney merchandise at very reduced prices...best bargain ever was a real leather camcorder bag with tiny embossed Mickeys for $9!!!

Definately don't buy in the aprks - you can get exectly the same dresses cheaper in TDS in the Florida Mall (all less than half price in the sale too when we went last year) . If you're lucky you'll find some at the Character outlets at Belz & Premium Outlets - we had Ariel & Tinkerbell & Snow White dresses for $15 last year

I do agree though about the quality being fantastic..... Teri got 1 dress (we always get her 1 every trip) she got a 2nd one for xmas from santa and then on her last day she bought another one with the last of her spending money.

Never again is she getting so many!!!!!! she did buy the accessories herself though and she wears one or other of them every day, and they are a big favourite on play days with her friends.

DD wants a Minnie dress and Granny has given her the money to get one for her birthday while we are there. She is so excited at the prospect of meeting Minnie while wearing her Minnie dress :)

the ones at the Disney store in the UK aren't as nice as the ones in the parks, but to be honest, my dd has never noticed the difference. The ones in Woolies aren't bad either for £15.

Katie wears her dresses over and over, so we would probably get good value out of a $65 dress, but I'd rather get good value out ofa £20 one!

Bargain of the day, on similar theme!! DD had a hospital appointment today for a hearing test. She was impeccably behaved and I was very proud. Turns out she has glue ear and needs anitbiotics. I popped into town to get a treat for her and decided on a new costume. Ballet is her latest thing and bit the bullet, picking a £19.99 one from Marks. Got to the till and was told it was on sale and was reduced to a fiver!! Going back tomorrow to see if they have more!
