Word: Disneybound Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by Leslie Kalbfleisch (a.k.a. Leslie Kay) in 2011 with her Tumblr blog called DisneyBound, from Disney + -bound. Kay described the context: “It was a travel site. My best friend and I were heading to Disney World, and we had been planning that trip since we were young … I was using this blog as a way to channel my excitement because we were literally Disney-bound. So I started doing these outfits, which is something that I always did when I was a little kid … I could dress up in these clothes without it actually being a costume.” 1. The practice of Disneybounding; incorporating The Walt Disney Company–themed elements in one’s fashion. Labels: slang, uncountable Example: When showing off a Disneybound outfit online, it’s good form to link to where others can buy those clothes. Example: Disneybound has an even stronger impact when it’s seen on a pair or group, [Leo] Camacho said. […] The objective of Disneybound is to extract the essence of the character’s outfit and convey it subtly. […] Ultimately, “Disneybound is all about individuality,” she [Leslie Kay] said, and what she wants is for people to take the idea and use it to express their personal style, whether it’s punk, goth, sporty, vintage or preppy. 2. An outfit that incorporates The Walt Disney Company–themed elements; or, the incorporation itself. Labels: countable, slang Example: Instead of wearing full-on costumes as cosplayers do, Disneybounders dress up in stylish, everyday outfits (known as Disneybounds) that are simply inspired by a particular character. […] Leslie Kay, the woman behind the DisneyBound Tumblr, showing off her Alice from "Alice in Wonderland" Disneybound. […] One big misconception, according to Leslie, is that a Disneybound is a costume. Disneybounders think of a character’s clothes and style as more of a jumping off point, rather than something to replicate exactly. Example: Since I got my start with Disney-inspired outfits, I’ll open this guide with Disneybounds, including everyone’s favorite princesses and villains, as well as some lesser-known characters. […] I found a dress on Amazon for thirty dollars, which is more than I would usually spend on a single piece, but since it was a plain dress that I could use for other Disneybounds and casual cosplays, it was worth it.

To incorporate The Walt Disney Company–themed elements (of a specific character) in one’s fashion; especially, to dress in a style reminiscent of a particular Disney character, but not similar enough to violate theme park rules against cosplay. Labels: ambitransitive, slang Example: “I have Disneybounded Merida, Minnie Mouse, Buzz Lightyear. … I have two different Ariel ones,” said [Elyssa] Kivus, 27. “I really like meeting the character when you’re Disneybounding as that character,” she said. Example: Stephanie Danet Disneybounding as Princess Jasmine from "Aladdin." […] Leslie [Kay] Disneybounding as the bird Becky from "Finding Dory." […] Brittani Enos-Blake Disneybounding as Snow White. She wore a Magic Mirror pin instead of carrying an actual mirror. […] Sara Katz-Scher Disneybounding as Minnie Mouse.
