I am going to wear a disguise to the ball so that I can pretend to be one of the high rollers.
Disguise means anything whether it be clothing or ornament to hide your presence
Pretend isn’t necessarily acting it’s more like trying to be something you are not
I can say I am wearing a black mask as a disguise to avoid getting caught but it would be different from saying I’m pretending to be a thief by wearing a black mask
Think of disguise as hiding yourself while pretend is acting
