Yzma, the main antagonist from Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove, is a fun choice for Disney Bounding at a theme park.

Ever been Disney Bounding at a theme park? One favorite character idea is Yzma that requires only a palette of 3 colors that are often found in any woman’s closet. And you’ll get awards for creativity because most often you’ll see people Disney bound as members of the original gang (Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, Donald, Daisy), the 100 Acre Wood (Winnie, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger), one of the princesses and favorite Marvel characters like Loki and Captain America.

What is Disney Bounding?

How to Disney Bound Without Getting in Trouble

Since adults wearing Disney costumes in the theme parks is against the rules and you can be refused admission into the parks, Disney Bounding is a fun loop-hole. But be careful how you go about it so you don’t get in trouble.

How Do You Get Disney Bound?

  1. Pick a Disney character you adore. Look up photos of the character online for inspiration.
  2. Narrow down your color scheme to the character’s main 2-3 colors.
  3. Choose your outfit’s focal point from your own closet (to cut down on the expenses). For example, if you were dressing as Minnie or Mickey – look for something bright red and preferably with polka dots.
  4. Use the other colors from your character’s color scheme to choose accessories. For example, for Mickey or Minnie choose a bright yellow shoe and/or a black headband.
  5. A fun set of Disney ears inspired by your character would be a fun finishing touch.
