Halloween is a month or so away, which means it’s time to figure out what your costume will be. You could pick something scary or something funny — or celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company and take on a character from one of your favorite films.
Whatever your choice, this is a holiday that can be fun for everyone in your household. Do a parent-child costume that lets your infant enjoy seasonal fun from a baby carrier. Pick a family costume that lets everyone join in, no matter their age. Or stick with individual outfits that let each person express their own personality.
HalloweenCostumes.com is holding a sale with costumes for the whole family from Disney right now, so this is a great time to find costumes inspired by Disney and Pixar movies and characters at a discount.
