Hot-weather SW costumes

[squirk]

I will be in Disney World in early October for their annual Halloween party (series of parties, to be precise). The kids talked me into dressing up with minimal arm-twisting.

Would like to do something SW but any kind of trooping armor seems impractical if we are to ride any rides. Also, it's going to be very warm there, even at night, so I need something cool to wear.

My knee-jerk reaction is a Jedi with the sheer fabrics, or maybe ANH Han. Any better ideas?

Thanks,

For your storm trooper under armour have you tried heatgear top and bottoms. Heatgear sports performance wear.

What kind of temperatures and humidity are you talking about?

 

[squirk]

I have the Heat Gear, however the armor doesn't lend itself to riding rides, no?

Early October, you're looking at highs around 85, with relatively low humidity of maybe 50%.

85 degrees average daytime temp in October, cool nights at 65.

Wife and I wore Endor Commando/Strike Team costumes for 'Last Trip to Endor' during the last Celebration. It was a bit warm for that time of year, but would be great for not-so-scary. Also, most of the Star Tours area is Endor-themed.

Dagobah training Luke.

That's a great idea. A little esoteric, but certainly fits the bill in terms of comfort and coolness.

Lukes Tatooine outfit seems appropriate.
Use light fabric, it's worn pretty loose, you can accessorize the belt with props and
a lit up force FX saber in hand for sure.

You could do black shorts over a red and black heatgear bodysuit made to look like darth maul's tattoos, throw in a pair of red sunglasses with a visor that has spikes built from foam and a silver drink container with red straw, and be darth maul on vacation.

How about the classic shorty robe Luke or shirtless Palpatine?:lol

I wore my snowy last year during SWWs in the "Death March." It peaked at 113 while we were there.....

The thing about disney is that they want to be able to see your face, so your stuck with a rebel/officer or a face character unfortunatly, unless you want to carry your helmet where ever you go

I half-thought about a Jack Sparrow, until I saw this article: Disney makes 'Tinker Bell' change clothes | News - Home

As somebody who used to work for Disney, I agree on this one. Please do have something with your face showable! And while it's ok to wear a really good costume during the Not So Scary obviously you can't when it's a non-party day, ie the teen Tinkerbell issue. A friend of mine did wear an almost screen accurate Rapunzel to the party and her husband was Flynn... they got in just fine. Although they did say a few times outright when asked for pictures that they are NOT affiliated w/Disney and are just doing this for fun so they constantly kept drawing the line.

The official rule is that you're also not allowed to go in costume to any other park besides Magic Kingdom, but I know of plenty who have broken it without facing any consequences.

I've been staring at that dome for a few days now. Is it just me or does that dome look like it's not high enough to house a full-sized human head? Given where the shoulder end and presumably the neck begins, the dome looks too small. Maybe it's the camera angle or the lighting?
