Halloween is the perfect time for families to unleash their creativity and have some fun dressing up. If your family loves Disney as much as mine, then Disney-themed costumes are an absolutely fantastic choice! We’re not fans of spooky Halloween, so we always lean towards something fun and magical, and Disney movies provide endless inspiration. I’m excited to share some delightful Disney family Halloween costume ideas with you, complete with suggestions to help you bring these characters to life. For convenient shopping, I often head to ShopDisney and Disguise costumes – they are treasure troves for all things costume-related!
Aladdin Family Costume Ideas
One year, our family transformed into the characters from Aladdin, and it was such a vibrant and magical experience! We debated whether to have everyone match a specific style or each embody a distinct character from Agrabah. Ultimately, we embraced the variety and it worked wonderfully!
Family dressed in Aladdin Disney costumes for Halloween: Jasmine, Aladdin, Genie, and Jafar posing outdoors.
For this theme, consider these character assignments:
- Mom: Jasmine – Her iconic blue outfit is instantly recognizable and elegant.
- Dad: Aladdin – The charming street rat turned prince is a classic hero.
- Child 1: Genie – The fun-loving Genie is a playful and energetic choice.
- Child 2 (or Dad again for a fun twist): Jafar – For a touch of villainous flair, Jafar’s dark robes and staff are very striking.
You can easily shop for Jasmine, Aladdin, Jafar, and Genie costumes online at the retailers mentioned earlier. Think about adding accessories like a magic lamp or a toy parrot Iago to enhance the theme!

Toy Story Family Costume Theme
“Toy Story” is a movie that resonates across generations, making it a heartwarming and nostalgic choice for family costumes. A few years ago, we went as the beloved gang from Andy’s toy box, and it was a hit!

Character suggestions for a “Toy Story” family:
- Dad: Woody – The cowboy doll is a timeless and beloved character.
- Mom: Jessie – The yodeling cowgirl is energetic and fun.
- Child 1: Buzz Lightyear – Every kid (and adult!) dreams of being a space ranger.
- Child 2: Bo Peep – Bo Peep’s updated look from “Toy Story 4” is both classic and modern.
Alternatively, you could include Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, or Rex for larger families or to involve grandparents! These costumes are widely available and comfortable for trick-or-treating.
Peter Pan Family Costume Ensemble
Take your family on a flight to Neverland with a “Peter Pan” themed costume set! This classic tale is full of whimsical characters perfect for a magical Halloween.

Character ideas for your “Peter Pan” crew:
- Child 1: Peter Pan – The boy who wouldn’t grow up is adventurous and spirited.
- Mom (or Child 2): Tinker Bell – The sassy and sparkling fairy is always a popular choice.
- Dad: Captain Hook – Embrace your inner pirate with Hook’s distinctive look.
- Mom (or another Child): Wendy – The kind and nurturing Wendy is a sweet addition to the group.
Consider adding Smee or even the Crocodile for extra family members to join the Neverland fun! Green tights and tunics for Peter Pan and a sparkly dress for Tinker Bell are key elements.
Frozen Family Costume Magic
For a truly enchanting and perhaps slightly chilly Halloween, consider “Frozen” costumes! We even dressed up as “Frozen” characters during a Disney Cruise for their themed night – it was perfect!

“Frozen” character assignments for your family:
- Child 1: Elsa – The Snow Queen is powerful and elegant, a favorite for many.
- Child 2: Anna – Elsa’s sister is cheerful and brave, a perfect counterpart.
- Dad: Kristoff – The ice harvester is rugged and kind-hearted.
- Dad or another Child: Sven (Reindeer) – Sven is a lovable and goofy character; reindeer antlers are a must!
- Optional: Olaf – If you have a baby or another child, Olaf the snowman is an adorable and easy costume.
“Frozen” costumes are very popular and readily available. Think about adding snowflake details or carrying a plush Olaf to complete the look.
Wreck-It Ralph Family Costume Adventure
One of my personal favorite family costume themes was “Wreck-It Ralph”! It’s a unique and fun choice that allows for a bit more creativity and DIY. My husband even built Penelope’s candy car out of a push car we had – it was incredible!
Family dressed as Wreck-It Ralph Disney characters: Wreck-It Ralph, Vanellope, Fix-It Felix, and Sergeant Calhoun, posing with a DIY candy car.
Character ideas for a “Wreck-It Ralph” family:
- Dad: Wreck-It Ralph – Ralph’s large build and “bad guy” but secretly good-hearted nature is fun to portray.
- Mom: Sergeant Calhoun – The tough and capable sergeant offers a strong female character option.
- Child 1: Vanellope von Schweetz – Vanellope’s quirky and cute glitchy style is unique and fun.
- Mom or Dad: Fix-It Felix Jr. – Felix’s cheerful demeanor and handyman look are endearing.
While we DIY-ed parts of our costumes, you can find components to buy to get started. For Ralph, consider men’s brown overalls and a red shirt. A blonde wig works perfectly for Sergeant Calhoun. Don’t forget Felix’s hammer and Vanellope’s candy-themed accessories!

Star Wars Disney Family Costumes (A Galaxy Far, Far Away!)

Star Wars family costume ideas:
- Mom: Princess Leia – The iconic princess with her cinnamon bun hairstyle is a powerful symbol.

- Child 1: Jedi Knight (Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi) – A classic hero with a lightsaber always wins.
- Child 2: Rey – The new generation Jedi is a fantastic role model.
Other Star Wars costume options include Stormtroopers, droids like R2-D2 or C-3PO, or even Chewbacca for a furry family member! Lightsabers are essential accessories for this theme.
