Like any fan convention, C2E2 It was packed with guests dressed as their characters from hundreds of franchises, and this year Disney fans did not disappoint. We were delighted to see the costumes of disney channel, Star Wars, Wonderfulthe Muppets, Disney movies, and even Fox’s cult favorite Firefly. We’ll see:
One of my favorite looks from the C2E2 guests was this life-size version of the Muppets Doctor Bunsen Honeydew and his trusty assistant Beaker! The thought, planning and execution of this look is impressive. Fans of Disney princesses will appreciate the detail put into this beautiful yellow dress for Belle (Beauty and the Beast) as well as Kida and Milo Thatch (atlantis) costumes exhibited by this couple.
Queen Elsa (Frozen) befriended the demigod Maui (vaiana) and both decided to see what it was like to live the mandalorian life. Elsa even has her own asset of her own: Olaf dressed as Grogu!
We saw many variants of Loki, including President Loki (“what did you expect?”) who was hanging out with brother Thor (End of the game). And Thor made sure to complete his look with Stormbreaker.
Sticking with the Asgardians for a bit, we also saw Sylvie walking around the show floor with Alligator Loki (Loki)! And outside the showroom, we found this Loki-BB-8 mix that proves the little droid had found his “glorious purpose.”
Ahsoka Tano looked amazing and you’ll also notice Boba Fett hanging out in the background.
With many comic fans in attendance, it was only natural to see the X-Men so well represented and the Samurai versions of Colossus and Deadpool were incredible.
With Christmas just around the corner, Thanos (infinity war) appeared as Santa Claus and threatened to break naughty children (just kidding, kidding!).
One of the most elaborate costumes was this Ursula the Sea Witch cosplay, complete with eight octopus tentacles. This guest was well groomed and simply gilded around the show floor, happily stopping to take photos whenever someone asked.
Baron Zemo was also here in his elegant white-collared coat and iconic purple mask.
While we’re on the subject of antagonists, a guest donned his best Grandmaster gear (Thor: Ragnarök) while another went all out in a very impressive Doc Ock (Spider-Man: No Way Home) costume.
Any Browncoats out there? Jayne Cobb (Firefly) was keeping us safe from those rad Reavers and maybe making a couple of questionable deals while he was at it. But one thing is certain: “A man walks down the street with that hat, people know that he is not afraid of anything.”
Another protector serving people on the show floor was Cliff Secord aka Rocketeer who was showing off a highly detailed replica of the rocketman.
Felix the handyman repairman (Wreck it Ralph) was looking to help anyone who needed to repair their stall or costume. That magical golden hammer is no joke.
This was the only Eda (the owl house) that I saw during the convention, but I was impressed by the authenticity of the character’s appearance. He even had the Owl Staff with Owlbert and luckily he was being good!

With so much amazing Marvel content delivered to fans this year, it’s no surprise we saw so many costumes. Here we have Peggy Carter holding up a picture of Steve Rogers, Doreen Green aka Squirrel Girl, and her sidekick Tippy-Toe, and my favorite pregnant Wanda Maximoff (Wanda Vision 1970s) hanging out with The Winter Soldier.
And I finally got in on the fun too with my very inexpensive Gravity Falls sight. I did my best Wendy Corduroy and gave a encore performance as Bill Cipher (seen here with Timothy Zahn and Thrawn puppet) before I had to remove it.
