Wreck It Ralph Disney Bound

When Wreck-It Ralph first came out a few years ago I didn't watch it or even have the desire to watch it. I just didn't get it, but then my best friend had me watch it with her and I absolutely loved it! The characters, the animation, and the storyline were so Disney and so much fun! I couldn't believe they were actually making a sequel though because I didn't know where they could go with the story. But when they showed it was going to be based in the Internet, and that they were going to have past Disney Princesses integrated into it I knew I would go see it. This lead to my idea of a group Disney Bound! I thought it would be perfect fun for Annie, Mom, and I to Disney Bound as characters from Wreck-It Ralph the week the new movie premiered.

Disney Bound Tip 1:

Find friends/family to Disney Bound with You!

Usually I'm the one who Disney bounds but this time I wanted to get all of us involved because I knew it would be so much fun! I was so happy Annie and Mom were willing, and we had a quick, fun little photoshoot. Disney bounding is fun to do solo but it's even better when you can do it together.

Annie, being short and having black hair would dress as Vanellope von Schweetz. I found her a similar colored shirt as Vanellope's and she paired it with her brown leggings instead of skirt, and her black UGG boots were the pairing to complete the outfit.

Accessory wise she added cute pink and black earrings and a stiff red ribbon for her hair to mimic Vanellope's Twizzler hair tie. For an additional sparkle to this candy girl, I dapped a little of my Uniglitter and I love the subtleness it adds to her whole look. This was our first time using Uniglitter and we loved it!! It's fun to add a little sparkle to your day. It's easy to put on and take off, and their prices aren't bad at all!

I convinced mom to join in the fun and had her dress as Fix It Felix Jr.. I knew she had jeans and even a jean dress to wear for the bound, and she went with her jeans and jean jacket. I think she was the perfect Felix to my Ralph.

I went as Wreck-It Ralph, because I can be a "bull in a china shop" as the saying goes. I couldn't decide how to do Ralph for the longest time though. I couldn't find overalls or the right plaid shirt and I didn't want to put a lot of money into this bound. When this happens I know it's time to head to Goodwill.

DISNEY BOUND TIP 2:

Search for Thrift Store Treasures

I've found many of my favorite pieces from Goodwill. It's thanks to my friend Megan really, she taught me how to take my time through the racks and search for hidden treasures. When I go into thrift stores I go in with a plan, usually, because I want to know who and what I'm looking for to create the perfect bound. I knew the moment I saw this sweater it would be perfect for Ralph, and when I got home I remembered the brown vest I had kept through the years but not worn a very much. Overall I was very happy with how this bound worked for the character.

*At the last minute I added the round pendant necklace to represent Ralph's hero medal.
