Disney Deal of the Day: 25% Off Costumes & Costume Accessories

Hey There Disney Fans!

Well, it's happened, Disney has increased the discounts on it's Halloween Costumes to 25% off!

What it is: 25% off of Disney Costumes and Costume Accessories.

Who it's For: These almost all kid's, toddler, and baby costumes. No adult costumes are included, but there are some adult accessories included in this sale, so you might be able to find something to complete a costume you were working on.

How to Get it: This sale is available online, by phone, and in Disney and Disney Baby stores (for in-stock items). It is not available at outlets or in Parks. You don't need a promo-code, prices are already reduced.

Is it "Good Deal": Well, it's certainly a better deal than what they had going before. Previously, Halloween costumes were on sale for $10 Off. You can read about it in my post here. For some costumes, this new sale is only $11 or $12 off of the retail price so, the sale isn't that much better. However, for some of the costumes, there are significantly deeper discounts. The Captain Phasma costume for kids is now 50%. It looks to me like a lot of the costumes for babies or younger children, or costumes of older or less popular characters are pretty deeply discounted, where the more popular characters for older kids are still at least $10 off with some having a few more dollars' discount.

My Thoughts: As I discussed in my previous post on Halloween costumes, Disney costumes are just not cheap anywhere. Not even at Walmart. If you have a Costco membership, they do have significantly cheaper Disney costumes, but aside from that, there aren't much better deals to be found. There are some slightly cheaper costumes at Walmart, but not a lot.

I think it's a good sign that discounts have been increased, even if it's only by a couple of dollars. Since there is still more than a month until Halloween, you do have some time before you need to place your order and bigger discounts may be announced as we get closer to the end of October. However, the closer we get to Halloween, the more likely it is that costumes will sell out. Already, Black Panther costumes are sold out in most sizes as are some sizes of Darth Vader costumes.

If you area looking for REALLY popular characters, you might want to go ahead and place your order. However, if you want to risk it, I would maybe wait until after the first of October to see what kind of discounts are announced then. I wouldn't really wait any longer than that though because you don't want things to sell out and you REALLY don't want to order a Halloween costume and not get it until November 1st.

One More Thing: This is not costume related, but, just as a fun Halloween thing: you can get a Mickey or Minnie plush for $8.50 (regular price $14.95) whenever you buy $25 or more of other merchandise. They're REALLY cute and they would make great decorations or gifts.
