Disney Removes Gender Labeling on Halloween Costumes

If you have ever gone into a store for a Halloween costume and looked for the boys or girls section for a costume, things are about to change, at least at Disney Stores and on the Disney website.

Disney has done away with gender based labels on its Halloween costumes and is instead marketing its huge selection of costumes as "kids". So all of the costumes are going to be in one big section with the label kids. According to a press release, Disney says they are doing this to encourage children to choose any trick-or-treating costume that appeals to them.

It looks like Disney is embracing the spirit of Halloween and that kids should be whatever they want, regardless of their sex.

Whether a child wants to be Captain Hook or Cinderella, both outfits are now labeled costumes for kids. Disney has made the same changes to its Halloween accessories department, marketing tiaras and swords to both sexes.
