First Look: 3 New 50th Anniversary Celebration Collections Coming to Walt Disney World Resort This Spring
by Jacqueline Logan, Public Relations Manager
The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration continues with new commemorative merchandise launching this spring. Each collection honors the history of Disney’s Florida theme parks through trendy new clothing items, accessories and souvenir pieces.
50th Anniversary celebration merchandise is available throughout the Walt Disney World Resort including Disney Springs. Select items will be carried at Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, Disneyland Resort and on shopDisney.com.
EARidescent Shimmer Collection
A modern take on the iconic Walt Disney World Resort landmark, the latest color story features the same distinct blue and gold tones found on the turrets of Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Park. The EARidescent Shimmer Collection will include sparkling statement pieces such as a Minnie Mouse headband, a Loungefly backpack and more. And coming to parks later this spring will be the popular Spirit Jersey.
Disney Vault Balloon Collection
Longtime visitors of The Most Magical Place on Earth may recognize the design inspiration behind the Disney Vault Balloon Collection. Bold and colorful, the Mickey Mouse balloon print was once used to decorate shopping bags at retail locations across Disney World. Back in 1971, guests filled these vintage balloon-print bags with everything from Mickey Mouse ear hats and sweatshirts to character plush toys and packaged treats. The collection includes a variety of fashionable accessories including a bucket hat, Spirit Jersey and Loungefly backpack.
Celebration Collection
The Celebration Collection, which first launched at the start of the 50th Anniversary celebration, will expand to include brand new commemorative merchandise for the whole family inclusive of a new dress by Dress Shop, Dooney and Bourke handbags, and youth apparel! Plus, you’ll find Goofy, Donald and Daisy plush in their decked out celebration outfits!
Disney Vault Orange Bird Collection debuting later this spring!
The Disney Vault Orange Bird Collection perfectly captures the groovy vibes of the 1970s through a line of retro pieces that are sure to brighten your day. The collection, debuting later this spring, pays tribute to Orange Bird, a beloved Disney character that has come to symbolize Florida and its legacy in the citrus industry. From a denim jacket and flower power dress by Dress Shop to a character crossbody bag, the Disney Vault Orange Bird Collection has something for everyone.
