Top 23 Costumes at the D23 Epo 2017

 

The 2017 D23 Expo was filled with fun and magic! Over the three days I ran across several people in costume representing anything from a Disney character to a Disney Parks Dole Whip. With so many people showing off their creativity, I decided to compile a list of my favorite 23 costumes that I saw over the weekend. Take a gander and see for yourself the magic of dressing up Disney!
