What’s Happening:

  • Disney has announced the addition of all new Adaptive Roleplay kid’s costumes and wheelchair cover sets to the previously available assortment that launched last year.

Essential Elements for Adaptive Costumes:

  • The costumes are designed with stretch fabric that opens in the back for front entry only to allow for more accessible dressing.
  • The adaptive line is open in the rear and has longer length inseams for wheelchair-friendly wear. The costumes also have flap openings on the front center with self-stick fabric closure to accommodate tube access.
  • The wheelchair cover sets fit most standard wheelchairs with 24-inch wheels and come with supportive plastic piping pieces for added stability and long self-stick fabric strips to help keep the pieces in place.
  • It is advised that the wheelchair is operated by a helper when the cover set is attached.
