[@tatotjip]

To answer the question of the title: Character integrity and safety! It could break the magic for children (adults as well) if they see multiple princesses and other characters just wandering around the parks, especially when they look messy or act rude. Children could also be led away/kidnapped because they trust the characters. Costumes are allowed at events like Halloween and running events (although latter has more guidelines), but people who dress like characters accurately can not pretend that they are the real characters. Disneybounding was found as a 'loophole' for this rule, although I must say some get very close to the edge between costume and outfit. (wigs, elaborate fabrics) The nice thing about Disneybounding is that you can wear it outside Disney as well, as you're using casual clothes. This was still a nice video about Disneybounding and it was nice to see the host so amazed, but maybe a title change would help viewers a little more? :)

[@mrpurple11]

Thank you, this title was kind of clickbait

@@mrpurple11 Not just KIND of clickbait...the topic is not even remotely addressed in the video!

[@spacetree5808]

I would say that wearing wigs (if you don’t wear a wig in your daily life) turns it into more costume than bound. I think most other disneybounders would agree. It’s too thin a line to walk, I think.

[@mm-gz3hq]

Why don't Disney allow adults to dress up? So your kids don't run up to random strangers who could harm your kids. that's it.

[@MK-cg8pj]

yeah that was my first thought too

[@Tapiokapuddin]

Yeah it's kind of obvious why it would be banned.

[@robynwaugh1446]

Mainly this but also because they don’t want other guests confusing them for a cast member and thinking they’re getting a genuine Disneyland/world experience.

[@nocctea]

I think I also heard that since Disney wants to control the guest experience, they can’t do that if a guest dresses up at Cinderella or something and kids see her smoking or cussing with friends. Would ruin the immersion

[@ariaalexandria3324]

@@robynwaugh1446 It's because of liability regarding kids. Adults know the difference. Kids don't. Adults used to be able to dress up in the parks. But then concerns popped up about kids going to princesses and other characters if lost, and what would happen if one of them was a bad person waiting to take advantage of a kid.

[@oonadoodles]

Yvette is so cool. I feel like some of the others give off a more influencer vibe: they just put together outfits they find at a store and go to disney a lot so it wasn't quite getting across for me. But the way Yvette explains how the character resonates with her, and made clothes that tie in her culture, it's a lot more imaginative and I can understand the passion more through her

But for now I can only dream of a closet full of retro dresses, tops and skirts. (I'm really into that 1960's Hairspray type look! [The remake, not the original] and the 40's also really inspire me.)

[@ViviennetheVenomous]

​@@Indiegirl007Hey, no problem, we're kind of in the same boat. I feel you on the funds/space thing. If it helps, vintage skirts don't always require a lot of fabric, and they're often made from a more simple pattern that is quicker to put together.

I'm 50 years old, and my favorite Disney character is still Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

[@Averia89]

I worked at Disney World in college and the primary reasons why they banned adults from wearing costumes in the park are pretty much: 1. They don’t want to ruin the “magic.” They want the face characters (especially the princesses) to look a particular way, sound a particular way, and act a particular way. The auditions and training just to play Cinderella is extensive. Everyone doesn’t look like a princess - sorry. If Random Rhonda just walked in the park trying to be Belle, and didn’t quite look the way Disney wanted her to or capture Belle’s characterization it would be a hot mess. 2. It’s not safe for you to dress up. If you pull off a pretty convincing Aurora and some creepy fan is obsessed with you, Disney doesn’t have your back. Security precautions are put in place to protect the actress who is paid to play Aurora, but if some creeper cornered you in the restroom with a chloroform towel...well oops. 3. It’s not safe for the guests. Let’s be real, some people are weird. Who knows? What if you pretend to be Pocahontas in an effort to assault children? Disney ain’t got time for that.

In fact, our trip was scheduled a week before it closed due to Corona, so I'm so happy that was our last memory of large gatherings and social interaction!

[@OzziePerez1988]

What makes Disney bound so great is you don't need to buy a lot you should be able to take any clothes and make it look like a character.

[@sketchyginger2301]

I went to Disney as Femme Gaston, and the cast members were so excited for it

[@quizzlie]

No one applies eyeliner like Femme Gaston.

[@mady.k3197]

I myself am a cosplayer, and to see it more in a casual setting is absolutely amazing! Disney bounding seems like such a fun and creative experience! I have not had the chance to go to any Disney parks, but I will definitely be Disney bounding when I do! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!

prettyshamarlee word of advice. Go to one ride, one show, repeat, and once festivals come, attend. So you don’t get bored of just rides and same thing with shows :)

[@Mitters]

If you can afford it, I reccomend getting a line jumper pass ! Especially if your child is super young. It can be a long day waiting in line. Also bring a blanket to the park, for a midday nap! When I went to Disneyland Paris, this was a common practice among fellow park attendees. I hope you have the best time ❤️

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Title is total clickbait, which was so unnecessary since, as stated in the video, Disney bounding is so popular.

[@austinghost1458]

True. It doesn’t even tell you why adults can’t dress up.

[@madisonbarr6540]

Short answer: so that children and others don’t mistake them for the real thing and so the adult dressing up doesn’t misrepresent the character they look like

[@jamaiya7]

“SMEEEE” LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@aquagamer1212]

It’s because it would ruin the “magic” if a child were to see 2 of the same character at once.

[@HELL0NESSA]

This makes sense. And well, it's probably for safety reasons too. Kids see someone dressed like or similar to their favorite character and walk off with them.

[@melissac.5919]

Thank you! I was searching for that comment. :D

[@MK-cg8pj]

yeah

[@jasminefryer5996]

Just to add on if a kid sees a character swearing or yelling the kid could see "the good guy" as "a bad guy". I mean just imagine of when you were 5 you heard Cinderella dropping the Fbomb?

[@taydrabrookshire347]

I get it but there is a 90% chance the characters wear more than one outfit in their movies and shows. For example Ariel wears her shell bra as a mermaid and several different dresses once she turns human.

Disney bounding is something I plan to do again. I dressed as a recent addition to the Disney universe (Princess Anastasia Romonov from the 20th Century FOX movie Anastasia). I will probably not be able to go to Disneyland/World more than once in my adult life (I went to Disney World when I was 11). Despite that, there's absolutely nothing keeping me from incorporating Disney Bounding into my every day clothing style.

[@carxshii]

Never heard of the term "Disney-bounding" before, but I dig it. Would be really curious what a Mulan themed outfit would look like.

[@aheg]

Look it up on something like Pinterest!

[@carxshii]

[@acookie7548]

Hellybelle tbh I think it should be fine if you dress up as a character that's not your race (unless it's someone like him crow). as long as you're not dressing up as a race you should be fine (i.e. dressing up as tiana vs. dressing up as a black person)

[@druejackson]

Did I miss her explaining why they don’t allow adults to dress up when they go to Disneyland because that’s why I clicked on this.

[@yobananaboy6700]

Drue Jackson hits cause they can’t have kids running up to random adults, who disney can’t control what they say so they can’t control the character

[@fernelle16]

You should watch sarah's video instead for deeper info (sarah sterling)

[@cassc4043]

The title doesnt imply it was about the ban. The main focus is about the trend that was started because of it. Also use common sense or just google it. Adults are the ones who work as the characters at Disney. Its a whole thing there so it's obviously about children not getting confused and ruining the realness of the characters

[@ashleysokolik8688]

Disney has a strict policy that there's only one Belle, one Cinderella, one of each character, to make them more alive. Even when you work there you can't say I was Cinderella, you have to say I was with or friends with Cinderella.

[@MegaKaitouKID1412]

It's pretty obvious: they don't want anyone whose not on their payroll and bound by their rules of performing (remember, two performers of the same character can't be seen in the same areas of the park, they have very specific images they have to give, ect) to be confused for their actors.

[@Kitarinki]

[@Macgyrl64]

Megan Porten that is a myth and never proven. The biographer Neil Gabler states “that of Jews who worked at Disney, it was hard to find any who thought Walt was a anti-Semite”. He also wrote that Disney never publicly or privately made disparaging remarks about minorities or asserted white superiority.

I used to live in the St. Cloud/Kissimmee area (right by the park) and I've never heard the term Disneybound. But...I used to sneak in there when I was younger. There used to be an opening in a fence not far from Main Street. Slip in (avoiding the sensors), act like you work there, slip out onto Main Street, and then go get a hand stamp. That place is expensive, even with a Florida discount. Lol!
