"Disneybounding" is cosplay light for Disney nerds visiting the theme parks

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Grown-ups are playing dress-up in a fashion trend called "Disneybounding," which allows fans to display devotion without donning a Cinderella gown or a Buzz Lightyear spacesuit. The styles shoot for subtle, yet colorful, salutes to Disney characters. A Disneybounder might wear a yellow skirt, blue top, red bow and apple pin as a quiet shout-out to Snow White or go all-green with a feathered fedora to represent Peter Pan.

..And that's different from your every day attire, how?

I'm losing the tube top.

I'd be a punk and "Disneybound" as Shrek.

I sort of meant why they picked the word "Disneybounding" to describe this activity.

Hobbes: "What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?"
Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."

Skirting the "bounds" of their rules against coming dressed in full-blown costumes perhaps?

"I go out at 3 o' clock for a quart of milk and come home to my son treating his body like an amusement park!" - Estelle Costanza

That's exactly what it is. It's "legal" character costumes from your own closet or mall.
I've tried to find why the term Disneybound came to be and what it means and I'm not coming up with much. Except a description of what it is.

So maybe if you dress that way you're bound for Disney?

I saw a cute one in Google images where the guy did light blue and white to represent Alice and his girlfriend did orange, brown, and a fedora to represent Mad Hatter.
