It's THAT time of the year again! March flew by so fast that the only thing I actually remember doing is bounding through the whole month. I must confess this year's DisneyBound challenge caught me off guard (just like last year), except that this time I had the experience of the past DBC and the Fall Into Disney Style challenge from October. Phew! Here's a good summary of what went down last month.
Definitely, participating in your first DisneyBound Challenge is both exhilarating and scary, especially if you've rarely (or never) done it before because you just don't know where to begin, how to organize yourself and how to align your expectations. All you want to do is start channeling your favorite characters and showing your best Disney side, which is exactly the point of Disneybounding. However, the more you do it and participate in these long-term events, the better you get at planning your outfits and photos ahead of time, which ultimately plays in your favor. By the way, you can read my summary about last year's DBC right here!
I've been seeing plenty of dear Disneybounders out there who are naturals at recreating characters, attractions, snacks and even obscure items from Disney films. The dedication that goes into every post is incredible! That's why one of the best parts of DisneyBounding is discovering amazing fellows who share your passion, and interacting with them thanks to our strong feelings for Disney. I feel overjoyed and inspired by everyone sharing their best outfits prepared with all their love, creativity and Disney flare. It's 31 days of friendship, fashion, magic... and a little madness.
This year I felt quite proud of my Disneybounds, especially since eight of them were featured on the official Disneybound's Instagram stories. (Yay me!) The DBC included some new themes like DuckTales, Mary Poppins Returns, 80s styles, Kim Possible and Meet the Robinsons, as well as other recurring topics from last year such as sidekicks, Marvel and characters who are/wear green. People usually find at least a couple of prompts to be particularly challenging, but the good news is that there's always a way around them: all it takes is thinking outside the box (or closet), or skipping/swapping it for another. Either way, it's all about the fun, just as each year more and more people jump in the DisneyBound fun-wagon.
As a fun fact, the Instagram hashtags #DisneyBoundChallenge and #MarchDisneyboundChallenge escalated to over 46,000 and 21,000 posts respectively this March. I strongly encourage you to follow these hashtags to check out all the amazing Disney-inspired attire put together by everyone who partook in this event. Plus, if you haven't already, you must take a good look at the holy grail and sparkler of this trend: @TheDisneybound
I also want to dedicate this tiny space to make a shout out to some of my favorite March outfits by fabulous DisneyBounders, several of which I also have the privilege of calling my friends. Make sure to check them out!

It was an absolute honor flooding the Instagram feed with Disney fashion all through March alongside these and so many other fantastic DisneyBounders! We'll just have to wait and see what next year's challenge holds for us, while we DisneyBound our way through life. By the way, don't forget to see my wacky #DisneyboundBloopers right there on Instagram. We like to show our fails in the process of taking great pictures! If you liked what you saw, please follow my Instagram account @edu_and_joy to check out all my DisneyBounds and other shenanigans.
Keep an eye out for upcoming posts!
