Ready to bring balance to the Force and your fashion?
Whether you’re off to Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland or Hollywood Studios, this ultimate 2025 Star Wars DisneyBounding guide has everything you need—from droid-inspired looks to galactic couple styles.
What Is Disney Bounding?
DisneyBounding is a fun and fashionable way to dress like your favorite Star Wars characters—without wearing a costume.
Instead of full cosplay, you create an outfit using everyday clothing that’s inspired by a character’s vibe. Think colors, shapes, and accessories that hint at their look.
🧡 For example: A white flowy dress, silver belt, and braided buns? That’s Princess Leia, DisneyBound-style.
It’s park-friendly too! DisneyBounding is allowed year-round—even though full costumes aren’t permitted for guests over 14 (except during special events).
