Inclusivity is of the utmost importance in every aspect of life, but unfortunately, those with physical disabilities often find themselves left out - especially children.

But now Disney has released a new line of adaptive and wheelchair friendly costumes to ensure that every child can dress up as some of their favorite characters, and we are here for it.

This puppy without front legs got a Lego wheelchair:

Inspired by Toy Story, The Incredibles 2 and Cinderella, these costumes not only represent a massive step in the right direction for Disney, but as you can see, they look fantastic too!

Featured below is a Cinderella dress with a difference; it opens from the back, like all of the costumes in this line, to allow for front entry only and has an ankle-length skirt which makes it suitable for seated wearers as well as a flap opening at the front to allow for easy tube access.

Disney wrote on the website: "Cinderella's arrival will grace any royal ball in this elegant adaptive costume, which features an opening at the back and a discreet flap in the front centre for easy tube access. With a 'Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo', our glittering gown, detailed in silver foil filigree, star dusted skirts, organza trims, and a bejewelled cameo, is an enchanting dress-up dream."

This beautiful dress can be accompanied by a carriage wheelchair cover which, like the others in the line, comes with 12 or 22 supportive plastic piping pieces to make it extra secure, and it's been designed to fit most wheelchairs.

"They'll feel like true royalty when you transform their chair into a magical Cinderella Coach. Plastic piping adds stability along the wheel covers and long self-stick fabric strips keep the pieces in place for an enchanting dress-up adventure," the wheelchair cover description reads.

This girl shared a picture of herself very much looking like the Belle of the ball using the Cinderella wheel cover on Twitter.

However, don't worry if you've got a lil superhero in your life, as the Incredibles costume has them covered and will enable them to easily transform into a member of the Parr family.

The costume can be accompanied by what we think is possibly the coolest wheelchair cover on offer, allowing wheelchair users to transform their chairs into incredible supercars.

But if a child is more of a classic Disney superhero fan, there's also an adaptive Buzz Lightyear option.

Now, if these costumes aren't an easy way to win first prize at any self-respecting fancy dress costume, we don't know what is!

The costumes are available for purchase from Disney's website, and while the adaptive costumes vary slightly in price depending on accessories, the wheelchair covers are a very reasonable $49.99.
