VERY IMPORTANT HALLOWEEN question.

[carfar]

So, I want the family to be Mary Poppins characters for Halloween. I wil be Mary, Hubs will be Burt and Baby will be a Penguin.  If you recall, in the scene with the penguins Mary Poppins is dressed like the photo below. 
 
 

But normally Mary  looks like this... and Bert is dressed in Chimney sweeping best. 




So they question is... since the baby is being a penguin... do we need to dress in the "Jolly Holiday" outfits, which maybe harder to get together... or can we go more traditional and still have the baby be a penguin? I KNOW its totally NOT important, and I'm TOTALLY over thinking this... but it's our first Halloween... and I am trying to do my part to keep the board moving.

I would do traditional. I just saw the movie again sometime in the last year and wouldn't have remembered the specific outfits relating to different scenes. But I also wouldn't have remembered the penguins...

waterchurch and her family did this one year. I think they were in the Jolly holiday outfits. The pictures were adorable. Hopefully she will respond.

I think people think of Mary Poppins in the white dress -- that's what she wears when you meet her at Disney World ;-)

So, if you guys dress up in a coat and scarf with an umbrella for you and chimney sweep stuff for your DH, then I think people might not identify your costumes as easily.

But I don't think anyone is going to call you out on the penguin being from a different part of the movie from the particular costumes you chose.

You can wear the traditional outfits!

I was just starting to type this when Darcy's response popped up.

We did jolly holiday. Mostly because I wanted to wear the white dress. DH painted a white lab coat for himself.
This is the best picture I have on my phone.

This board and WDW, man! On the cover of the book, she happens to be wearing the traditional outfit, at least the copy we have.

You have to wear the white dress with the red sash! It was my favorite when I was little. I think the penguin would be a little random if she was wearing her everyday outfit but then again I watched the movie a million times as a kid.

I vote jolly holiday, but partially just bc I love that outfit.

I'm partial to traditional, but that's because DD and I both wore that outfit last year!

I watched a million times too ! I think I still probably have it memorized!

Just coming in to say - I've never seen this movie. (!!!)

I'm going to have to add you to the spreadsheet.

These costumes are killing me! So cute.

I'd know what you are going for with both costumes, so I say do whatever is easiest.
