Where to Find Disney Princess Halloween Costumes Online

As an elementary school teacher, I was always amazed by how many children showed up dressed as princesses for Halloween. I remember saying that I'd always want my kids to wear a unique Halloween costume, and wouldn't let them follow along with the princess trend.

Now, of course, I have two daughters. Three and five, they are both obsessed with Disney princesses, magic wands, and tiaras. With Halloween season quickly approaching, I know I'll be in search of Disney princess Halloween costumes for my adorable, even if not incredibly uniquely dressed, daughters.

Costume City: Princesses, without the Hefty Price Tag

Costume City has a large selection of Disney princess costumes, as well as princess dresses not unique to a particular Disney character. Not only do they offer an extensive selection and size options for little girls, but they also offer a varied price range to meet parents' financial needs. Cheap Disney princess dresses can be hard to come by, but the options at Costume City start as low as $24.95 for a basic princess Halloween costume. While they offer pricier versions with more frills, glitter, and lace, the basic princess costumes offered may be the perfect fit for young girls, and they can continue to use them for dress-up once Halloween is over.

Buy Costumes: Princesses for Toddler Girls through Big Girls

Another online costume website, buycostumes.com offers a large selection of Disney princess dresses. Though the selection isn't as extensive as the one offered by Costume City, you can find dresses on sale for as little as $24.99 depending on what you're looking for or your little girl's age. They also offer a line of princess dresses new for 2009, so even if your little girl isn't the only one in the neighborhood dressed up as Ariel, at least she may have a slightly different costume.

The Disney Store: When Only the Best Will Do

Of course, The Disney Store is the only place to go to get your official Disney merchandise. Though you may not find a $24.99 price tag on any of the princess dresses in stock, you will find quality and value for your money that's hard to rival. The Disney princess dresses you'll find at the Disney store for Halloween are high quality, well made, and you can return the items to a store or take your child in to try them on. The average Disney princess dress price tag at the Disney store is just under $50.

If your daughter is dying to spend Halloween dressed up as a Disney princess (or just about any princess!), these three online retailers are your best bet for price, value, and quality.
