There are a lot of fun themes for costume inspiration in the upcoming Springtime Surprise runDisney race weekend. I'm sure there will be plenty of Yetis running the Expedition Everest 5K, and several gourmand rats will surely hit the course for the Race for the Taste, inspired by race mascot chef Remy from Ratatouille. And there are lots of mashup possibilities here, too, if you let your creative juices flow!
Here are some easy costume starter pieces for those classic furry characters.
Get your Expedition Everest Yeti costume started with easy white fur printed pieces, like the unisex t-shirt featured here. The shirt has an all-over print that looks like white fur, without the added weight (and heat!) of wearing a thick fur costume.This one is made of lightweight 100% polyester with a soft, cotton-like feel.
This white fur costume t-shirt as part of a Yeti costume. The fearsome Yeti, of course, is the featured creature on the Expedition Everest roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. The ride is the namesake of the 5K race taking place on Thursday night, March 31st. Run as this iconic character in white fur!
This fun white fur-look costume piece can be used for other costumes, too. You can be a Yeti this year, a polar bear for a holiday-themed race, and a Wampa or Vulptex when runDisney brings back the Star Wars races.
See our other white fur costume pieces below.
Add some ears and little chef accessories to a grey fur costume to dress up as Remy! Featured here is a t-shirt dress, which would pair nicely with neutral running shorts underneath or our grey fur-look leggings featured below. Other options, including t-shirts in unisex and women's cuts, are shown below.
Wear this grey costume as part of a Remy look. Remy the rat chef is the mascot character for the Race for the Taste 10K taking place on Saturday morning, April 2nd. Carry chef accessories, wear mouse ears and/or a chef's hat, and add a long tail costume piece to your outfit to complete the Remy look.
If you're running the Race for the Taste with a buddy, why not dress up as Remy and his brother Emile? These brown fur costume pieces make a great start for an Emile costume. Featured here is our women's cut costume shirt; see other options below.
One of the best parts of these fur-look costume pieces is that they can be used again and again for different furry character looks. You can use this to run as Emile this year, Brother Bear for another race, and a Wookiee, Bantha, Ewok, or Chadra-Fan when runDisney brings back the Star Wars races.
