    I did this on Friday, luckily I have an annual pass so didn't need to dress up, but I can verify that this works as took 4 little Mario's with me and they all were given free entry. I made their jeans look like dungarees by cutting a square and some straps out of denim and pinning them to their tops, they all wore red tops and red hats which I added a white cardboard cut out with a big red M and finally I painted on a moustache on each of them with facepaint.

    But I did verify with admissions, and yes, if adults dress up they too can get in free :rotfl: (and if you're really embarassed at least you can take the moustache & hat off once you've got through the gate!)

    Yes a little effort, but worth it to save the extortionate entry fees!
