Halloween isn’t just about candy (though let’s be real, that’s a major perk ).

It’s about transformation—stepping into a character, living a fantasy, and snapping a hundred photos before your eyeliner smudges.

And when it comes to magical transformations, Disney takes the crown.

Whether you’re a hardcore Disney adult, a parent trying to outdo last year’s Pinterest board, or just someone who wants to wear mouse ears guilt-free, Disney Halloween costumes never disappoint.

So, I put together a list of 31 Disney Halloween costume ideas that range from classics to underrated gems.

1. Classic Mickey & Minnie

You can never go wrong with the OG power couple. Throw on red shorts, big ears, and yellow shoes, and you’re basically everyone’s childhood in human form.

Bonus points if you and your partner coordinate Minnie’s polka dots and a giant bow.

2. Cinderella

Fairy godmother or not, this one’s a guaranteed showstopper.

Sparkly blue gown, glass slippers (okay, maybe glittery flats if you want to survive the night), and a choker = instant princess vibes.

3. Maleficent

Sometimes it feels way more fun to be the villain, right? A dramatic black gown, high cheekbones, and those iconic horns will make you the star (or the nightmare) of the party.

4. Ariel from The Little Mermaid

Mermaid tail? Check. Seashell bra? Check. Wavy red wig? Absolutely. Just be prepared to answer, “Where’s Sebastian?” all night.

5. Ursula

Tentacles + bold makeup = unforgettable. IMO, this costume steals the spotlight every single time.

(Also, you’ll never run out of excuses to belt “Poor Unfortunate Souls.”)

6. Elsa from Frozen

Still not over Let It Go? Same. Elsa’s sparkly ice-blue gown works for both adults and kids, and it’s surprisingly easy to DIY with some sequins and tulle.

7. Anna from Frozen

If you prefer warm hugs and braids over icy glam, Anna’s costume is cozy, colorful, and instantly recognizable.

8. Buzz Lightyear

“To infinity… and the snack table!” Whether you buy the full astronaut suit or DIY with a purple hoodie and cardboard wings, Buzz is always a fun pick.

9. Woody

Pair cowboy boots, a sheriff badge, and a floppy hat, and you’re everyone’s favorite rootin’ tootin’ cowboy.

Pro tip: Add a pull-string voice box sound effect for authenticity.

10. Jessie

Woody’s partner-in-crime brings sass and cowgirl flair. The braids and red hat seal the deal.

11. Belle from Beauty and the Beast

Yellow gown + book in hand = perfect Belle vibes. But don’t be surprised when people expect you to start singing in the middle of the party.

12. The Beast

Hairy mask? Check. Regal suit? Double check. If you want a couples’ costume that balances out Belle’s elegance, Beast is it.

13. Moana

Channel the ocean’s power with a Polynesian-inspired skirt and red crop top. Add a flower crown for a softer twist.

14. Maui

This one’s for the guys who aren’t afraid to rock fake tattoos and a giant fishhook. Trust me, kids will sing “You’re Welcome” on repeat when they see you.

15. Rapunzel

Long braid (with flowers tucked in) and a purple gown? Perfection. Bonus if you bring along a stuffed Pascal for extra cuteness.

16. Flynn Rider

Satchel, smolder, and a little roguish charm = nailed it. If you don’t perfect the smolder, did you even try?

17. Snow White

Short yellow skirt, puffed sleeves, and a red bow. Classic, sweet, and timeless—though maybe avoid the poisoned apple unless you really need a nap.

18. Evil Queen

If Snow White isn’t your vibe, go for her nemesis. Crown, dramatic makeup, and a cape = dark royalty at its finest.

19. Tiana from The Princess and the Frog

Green gown and tiara instantly transform you into one of Disney’s most stylish princesses. Bonus points if your plus-one dresses as a frog.

20. Aladdin

Loose pants, vest, and a fez = instant street rat (but in the chicest way). Carry around a faux magic lamp for extra flair.

21. Jasmine

Teal harem pants, crop top, and gold jewelry. Done. Honestly, one of the most flattering Disney looks ever.

22. Genie

Paint yourself blue (or get a bodysuit if you’re not about that life), and go full Robin Williams–energy. IMO, this one gets the most laughs.

23. Cruella de Vil

If you love drama (and fake fur), this is the costume. Black-and-white wig + red gloves = instant diva energy.

24. 101 Dalmatians Group Costume

Grab a group of friends, wear white with black spots, and you’ve got the cutest group costume ever. Just beware if someone shows up as Cruella…

25. Captain Jack Sparrow

Yes, technically he’s Disney. Channel your inner pirate with messy eyeliner, a tricorn hat, and lots of swagger.

26. Peter Pan

Green tunic, feathered cap, and mischievous energy. Perfect for adults who “never grow up.”

27. Tinker Bell

Fairy wings, glitter, and a green dress. Bonus: you’ll leave a trail of sparkle everywhere you go (sorry, cleanup crew).

28. Captain Hook

Hook hand, pirate hat, and dramatic flair. Perfect foil if your partner or friend goes as Peter Pan.

29. Lilo

Red Hawaiian dress and a stuffed Stitch = simple, comfy, and super cute. Plus, you can eat all the candy and call it “ohana.”

30. Stitch

Blue onesie or bodysuit + giant ears = adorable chaos. IMO, one of the most fun (and comfortable) costumes you can wear.

31. Star Wars Disney Characters

Since Star Wars officially lives under the Disney umbrella, you can totally rock a Jedi robe, stormtrooper suit, or even Darth Vader.

Disney purists might argue, but hey—Mickey owns the galaxy now.

Tips for Rocking Your Disney Halloween Costume

Comfort first. If you can’t sit, dance, or eat candy in it, rethink your costume.
DIY works. Many of these can be pulled off with stuff in your closet and a few cheap accessories.
Couples & groups win big. Disney duos (like Ariel & Eric) or squads (like Toy Story characters) always make a splash.
Props matter. Lamps, books, fake hooks—these little touches take your look from “cute” to “legendary.”

Final Thoughts

Halloween only comes once a year, so why not go all out? Disney Halloween costumes aren’t just costumes—they’re nostalgia, magic, and pure fun rolled into one.

Whether you show up as a princess, a villain, or a galaxy-defending Jedi, you’ll definitely turn heads.

And honestly? The best part is watching people’s faces light up when they recognize your character.

Because let’s face it—Disney magic never really leaves us.
