Mary, Bert, Jane, Michael, and a little Penguin make the cutest little group. Whether you are going to Oogie Boogie Bash, or trick or treating in your neighborhood, this sweet costume will be sure to make you smile. These costumes are easy to pull together for a magical Halloween season.As anyone who follows this blog knows, this post is about a decade old. So much has changed since we dressed up as Mary Poppins for Mickey’s Halloween Party. If you are planning on attending Oogie Boogie Bash or Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party, our cute Mary Poppins Costumes might be a nice start to inspire your Disney family costume. Don’t forget to check out the Discounted Disneyland Tickets from Get Away Today. They also have Disney destination discounts with hotels that are really hard to beat. Combine their advertised deals with our unique discount code HIGHLIGHTS for a bonus $10 off your booking! You can use this discount during the Halloween season and even on their lightning deals, double dip!One great thing is that costumes are so much more plentiful and inexpensive on Amazon! We have kept our process below but also shared what costumes we would purchase. With Amazon affiliate program we do receive a small commission on purchases for our curation. We hope you love the costumes we have chosen. The costumes we have chosen we believe are similar or better to what we created. We’ve taken price and star ratings into consideration as well. We hope you find the perfect costume below!We are slowly beginning to understand the world was really made for the family of four and this is very true when it comes to family themed costume ideas.&nbsp; This is the first time we have ever dressed up for Halloween as a family and we thought about several different ideas and there was usually an odd man out *sigh* – until we thought about Mary Poppins!&nbsp; Mary Poppins is a great costume choice for a large family – there are so many great costumes!&nbsp; Mary Poppins, Bert, Jane Banks, Michael Banks, and on and on – we chose a Jolly Holiday penguin for our littlest! We were able to find some of our Mary Poppins costume pieces at thrift stores and many items (like our Jane Banks Costume) were hand made and one of a kind.&nbsp; While we do not share tutorials in this post, we do hope this gives you the inspiration to make your own Mary Poppins Costumes!Before you check out our costumes inspired by the Banks family, Mary, and Bert, you have to see the other fun costumes we have created over the years! Popular Disney Costumes right now are our Elemental Costumes, Maid Marian and Robin Hood Costumes,&nbsp; Bob’s Burgers Costumes, and so many more!Mary Poppins is Practically Perfect in Every Way for our little family of five for so many reasonsOur costumes were for Mickey’s Halloween Party so a family theme was great!&nbsp; With Saving Mr. Banks coming to theaters for the holiday season all of a sudden it was pretty much the best idea ever!A quick trip over to Etsy confirmed my suspicions that Mary Poppins costumes are pretty pricey. My mom decided many decades ago it would be a fun idea to learn how to sew.&nbsp; It has crossed my mind that if she knew how often I would exploit this talent she may have picked up a different hobby… but I digress.While my mom helped me make this costume, we’ve found in updates that Amazon now has the pieces you will need.My Mary Poppins costume was created by using pieces we had or pieces we made, which may be fun for you. We’ve included our pick for premade based on reviewer stars below.&nbsp;While Mary Poppins is the main character, the other costumes are just so much fun! Below we share our favorite Bert costume, Jane and Michael Banks costumes, and of course our favorite dancing penguin costume!My husband’s first Halloween costume ever was Mary’s friend Bert. While we curated his costume from a thrift store, you can always streamline your search with an online costume purchase.For a more elevated Bert costume, this is our choice!&nbsp;Next up our Jane Banks Costume, Michael Banks Costume, and a little Penguin Costume….&nbsp;Jane Banks was the hardest one of the bunch –I know many people are not interested in making dress from scratch, I would personally look for a frilly 1980’s dress with similar structure to her peach dress or her pale blue dress at the end of the movie.&nbsp; Sometimes simply adding a quick alteration (adding ribbon, lace, cutting off or adding a bow, etc) can make a dress really look the part!&nbsp;While this dress above is clearly not made for Jane Banks, I believe it is a practically perfect base. With a little modification with some crimson red ribbon and a perfect hat, this will work. Knee high socks and Mary Jane shoes will tie it all together.This was the easiest costume of the bunch to create.*Update!* Pieces of our Michael Banks Costume are currently in our Etsy shop!&nbsp; Should you want a head start and your kiddo is in size 6 you should buy our Michael Banks Costume pieces! Unfortunately, these pieces did sell already, but we found great pieces on Amazon!Perfect Gray Suit Jacket with Matching Shorts&nbsp;&nbsp;Jolly Holiday Penguin Costume(side note…. this was easy to buy, it was not easy to convince her to wear it…..but eventually she was coaxed into it)Easiest of them all –&nbsp;If you have a family of five – Mary Poppins is a really good option – even if you have a bigger family you can easily add a chimney sweep, Mr. Banks, Mrs. Banks, a maid, another penguin – there are lots of options!&nbsp; I always suggest looking in your closets and borrow pieces first and then buy/make what is necessary for fill ins.&nbsp; We got a lot of compliments on our Mary Poppins Cast costumes – several pieces were A LOT of work (thanks mom!!) but they made for some fun memories!You can check out our Mouseketeer Costumes from last year too!&nbsp;Until Next Time ~&nbsp;&nbsp;Costumes, DIYMore posts like this...Scary Dog CostumesAsha Wish CostumeSuper Hero Dog CostumesGet notified of new articles!&nbsp;September 29, 2013 at 2:13 pm[…] before his transformation into a pirate at The Pirates League.&nbsp; I was SO excited about having a family of five Mary Poppins group costume – but to be honest, S wasn’t super jazzed about the […]ReplySeptember 30, 2013 at 1:13 pmYou all looked so adorable in your Mary Poppins costumes!
