Disneybounding Ideas

Of course, being an event for fans, dressing up for D23 Expo 2015 is encouraged. I was having some serious issues coming up with ideas so my teen daughter had to step in to help 🙂 We both agreed that going Disneybound would be much easier (and less expensive) than full-on costumes though. I still have some shopping and planning to do but here are the basic outfits I plan to wear during the expo.

 

 

 

Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration

As if that wasn’t enough Disney fun, we’ll also be visiting Disneyland for a few hours. With the 60th anniversary Diamond Celebration still going on, it’s going to be AMAZING!

I was invited on an all-expense paid media trip as a guest of Disney in honor D23 Expo. All opinions are my own.
