wearing a wig at the park

[Arendelle Ice Queen]

Has anyone had problems wearing a costume wig (for Halloween, perhaps) on the "bigger" rides in the park? I'm wearing my Elsa wig on my next trip in a few weeks and I'm wondering if I need to hold onto it on Splash Mountain. I'm already planning on bobby pinning the crap out of it, but I'd rather not let it go too much.

Should you hold onto a wig during the drop on Splash Mountain? Ummmmmm...... yes?

not let it go too much.

Okay, this was funny! I have no advice, but have a blast!

I've worn smaller wigs for MHP and not had trouble on rides, but watch the weather forecast for your party date. When the weather is very warm (and we've been to Halloween parties when it was 85* F at 10 pm), a wig is very uncomfortable to wear. Also, be aware that this year OBB tickets are not hoppers (they are DCA only). So if you plan to spend time on rides in DL, you'll need an additional ticket for that park.

Assume any time they tell ppl to take off their ears and hats that you should hold your wig. Space mt, Splash Mt, Big Thunder Mt, Matterhorn...basically any mountain COULD make you lose your wig if you don’t keep a hand on it.

So update, I pinned my wig all around the edge and between that and the tiara headband I was wearing, my hair didn't budge an inch all day (even on Matterhorn and Thunder Mountain).

Thanks for reporting back! Glad you had a fun day!

I'm finally able to post some of the pictures from my trip! The guy with me is my best friend and my Olaf for the day. And sorry most of the photos are sideways.

Was it super hot? I always wonder about dressing up in the parks like that.

It actually wasn't. I lucked out and went on a kind of rainy day, so it was nice and cool.

Also am I crazy? Did I miss something at Epcot? I don't remember Olaf being at the Norweigian pavilion. Is this only in California?

That's awesome. I can't wait until I can start taking trips during moderate temperatures lol

At Disney World, Olaf has his own meeting area, but he's with Anna and Elsa in California.

Dang. I totally missed that. Hopefully I can catch him in Cali.

Fingers crossed! He's so darn adorable.

Last time I was at WDW, Olaf met in HS.
