SHOP Disney has slashed the price of kids fancy dress costumes by up to 25% and prices start at £4.50.
The online sale gives children the chance to inject some fun into home life under lockdown – or even wear the outfit for PE with Joe Wicks fancy dress Fridays.

The discounts are only available online though as all Disney stores on the high street are currently closed under coronavirus lockdown measures.
But it means you’ll need to factor in any delivery charges into your orders – and remember they’ll eat into your savings.
For example, it costs £3.95 for standard delivery, while express delivery costs £5.95.
Alternatively, you can save money by opting for click and collect, which costs £2.95. You’ll need to pick up your order from your nearest parcel shop.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Here, we pick out some of our top sale items from the Disney shop sale.
Remember to shop around before parting with your cash though as you may be able to buy the same or similar outfit elsewhere.
Free online tools such as Google Shopping, Pricespy and Idealo will help you to compare prices online. For now, here are our top sale items.

Suitable for newborn babies and children up to two-years-old, the Minnie Mouse headband now costs under a fiver.
It’s made with an elasticated headband topped with a satin box and soft-feel ears to get the whole Disney look.
This particular hair accessory is only available to buy directly from Disney, but we found a similar one available on Amazon for £9.99.
Even with free delivery, you’ll be forking out an extra £1.54 so the Disney shop one is your cheapest option.

- Was: £26. Now: £19.50. Save: £6.50 (25%) – buy now
6
This adorable Stitch costume comes in sizes suitable for three-months-old to two-years-old.
It’s a three-piece set that includes a body suit, hat and shoes. It’s handwash only though unfortunately.
We couldn’t find a similar costume elsewhere. The next best price was on a Stitch outdoor baby grow but it will set you back £15.28 plus £8.57 on delivery from Milanoo.com.

It’s ideal for children aged three-years-old to 10-years-old and costs £24.75 in the sale. The wig is sold separately though.
Next is selling a similar dress for tots in the same sizes for £25 – 25p more than the one from Disney. Plus there’s an extra £3.99 delivery fee to consider.
Mickey Mouse baby costume body suit
- Was: £26. Now: £19.50. Save: £6.50 (25%) – buy now
6
The Mickey Mouse costume body suit comes in three pieces – a body suit, hat and mittens, so you’ll need to buy the tights and booties separately.
This specific suit is exclusive to Shop Disney but you can get a similar body outfit from Party Delights.
It’s cheaper too at £14.99, even with the £3.95 delivery.
Snow White deluxe costume
- Was: £61. Now: £45.75. Save: £15.25 – buy now
6
Talk about putting the fancy into fancy dress, this deluxe Snow White outfit is part of the Disney Designer collection.
The sequin embellishments, golden lace-effect trim and velvet cape that sets it aside from cheaper alternatives.
But at over £40 even in the sale, it’s still pretty expensive. We found a more simple version of the outfit available to buy from Shop Disney.
It’s not in the sale but costs just £21 and still comes with its own cape.
