Magical Merchandise: Disney Pastel Halloween 2026 ✨๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿญ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŽƒ✨

Happy Monday Everyone!!!  It's been a hot minute (over 18 months... yikes) since my last Magical Merchandise Monday post.  I still collect photos of things that I love, but it's become more of a chore for a few reasons.  First, there are so many Disney news sites (that have tons of writers) who cover new merchandise from the parks and online- so little ole me writing about things feels redundant.  Second, it takes me so much time to compile and edit photos, write the post and credit my photo sources.  So I've kind of let it slip by the wayside again.  Still, every once in a while there's something that really blows me away, so maybe I'll just try to focus on those things for merchandise posts.

Anyways, today I was motivated to post the newest drop on the Disney Store website.  I've been patiently waiting for these items to be released, and it was all I could do not to add every single thing to my cart!  As you know, I'm a complete sucker for anything that's Disney holiday related... but what you might not know is that I'm also a girly-girl pink princess at heart.  So add purple & pink pastel hues, cute Disney images and Halloween together and I basically can't resist it. ✨๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿญ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŽƒ✨

The Disney Pastel Halloween Collection drop this morning completely blew my mind.  It's so good; I pretty much want every. single. thing. from the collection- so let's dive in!

First, we'll check out accessories because those are primarily what I've been dreaming about all day.  Disney released a ton of Mickey and Minnie Cutie Ghost items... I think the most anticipated item was the Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Ear Headband. 

There's also this fun Minnie Mouse Jack-o-Lantern Ear Headband. 

I love the Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Mini Backpack. 

The Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Coin Purse Bag Charm was also really popular.

As was the Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Plush Keychain Bag Charm.

I am definitely getting one of the Minnie Cutie Ghost "Hey Boo" Little Words Project Bracelets.  I am obsessed with their bracelets... but more on that another day.  (Also, who took this photo?!?!  Turn Minnie Mouse around so she's not upside down!)

This Minnie Cutie Ghost Hair Clip would also complete a cutie ghost outift.

I love this Minnie Mouse Big Face Halloween Canvas Tote!!!

Eliot and I will definitely be getting the Mickey Cutie Ghost Light-Up Shoulder Plush.

The Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Halloween Jibbitz Crocs set is really cute.

Don't they look cute on these Crocs???

Next, we'll check out the new clothing.  I think my favorite piece is the Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Sleep Set For Women.  I might have to get these for our Disney Cruise... 

This Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost T-Shirt is adorable.

They have versions of this Mickey & Minnie Pumpkin Pullover Sweatshirt for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

I'm also in love with the Mickey Cutie Ghost Baseball Jersey.  Eliot and I have a few jerseys from the parks, and I might have to add this one to my collection.

Here are the details... I mean isn't it the cutest baseball jersey ever?!?!?

Finally, we're checking out the home decor pieces.  I think this Minnie Cutie Ghost Plush Pillow is adorable and it would look really cute on my side of our bed.

It would also look great with the Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Throw Blanket... which was the first thing I noticed sold out!  (I'll have to check the parks!)

I might have to get the Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler... 

... along with the Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Mug.  (I mean, this would go great with the pajama set while I'm snuggled up in the blanket... wouldn't it?)

The Mickey & Minnie Cutie Ghost Meal Set is another cute addition.

There's also a Minnie Cutie Ghost Light-Up Decor... 

A Minnie Mouse Light-Up Jack-o-Lantern... 

A Mickey & Minnie Halloween Pastel Pumpkin Light Up Decor... 

And last but not least, a Mickey Halloween Light & Sound Bubble Cutie Ghost.

Unfortunately, some of these items sold out before I was even able to finish this post!  So if you've got your eye on something from this collection, you better head to your local Disney theme park to snatch it up before they sell out there!  

I'm really hoping things will stay in stock for a while considering that it's only August... but I guess time will tell.  As much as I want some of these items, it's hard to press the go button when I know I have a 20% off Annual Passholder discount that I can use in the parks... and we'll be there next month!  Fingers crossed I'm able to add some of these cutie items to my collection!!! ✨๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿญ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŽƒ✨

Magical Merchandise: Disney American Girl Dolls

Happy Monday Friends!  It has been SO long since I've done a post about Disney merchandise.  Although I've saved photos of products here and there over the past year and a half, there's absolutely no way that I'll ever get "caught up" with them.  But I would like to get back into posting about merchandise more regularly.  So today I've made a special selection to get back into my Magical Merchandise Monday blog segment.

I believe I've briefly told you about my obsession with American Girl Dolls when I was younger.  Felicity was my absolute favorite, but I also had Samantha and a doll that looked like me.  I would spend hours pouring over the catalog when it arrived in the mail.  I always loved the little miniature foods and accessories.  Even as I grew older, my American Girl Dolls were very special to me, and I've taken extra care of them.

So you can imagine my surprise when one day, I opened my email inbox to discover that American Girl was making Disney Princess dolls!  It's like a dream come true!

In July of 2023, AG released three limited edition American Girl Doll Collector Series dolls to coincide with Disney's 100th anniversary celebration.  (I had every intention of posting about the dolls on here... and then a few weeks later my world came crashing down.)  The first three dolls released were Rapunzel, Belle and Jasmine.  Swarovski partnered with AG for the collector dolls and they had tons of sparkle and details on their outfits.  The dolls were limited to 4,000 of each design and they retailed for $300.

At the time, I remember thinking that $300 was a little more expensive than what I would want to spend on one of them.  But looking back, I wish I had splurged and gotten Rapunzel.  The intricate details on her dress are absolutely stunning!

But thankfully, I didn't totally miss out as this was only the beginning of the Disney and American Girl collaboration.  Since the original collector series, AG has also made more standard play dolls for little girls.  So when I saw these... I knew I had to get them.

In February of 2024, they released the first general dolls: Tiana, Ariel and Cinderella... along with other outfits and accessory packs (with sidekicks!) for each of them.

In July of 2024, they released limited edition versions of Anna and Elsa as part of their Frozen American Girl Doll Collector Series dolls.

In August 2024, I was pleased to see that Rapunzel was back, but it was a simpler version of the doll instead of the Swarovski collector design.  However, I didn't care because I knew she would be mine someday.  She also had accessories with her release.  The only disappointing part of her release is that Rapunzel didn't come with another dress option like the original three general dolls did.

Back in November they released Moana to coincide with the release of Moana 2 in theaters.  The doll is beautiful, but Pua and Hei Hei really steal the show!

And this was where I thought today's posts about new Disney American Girl Dolls was going to end... but I happened to check my email less than 5 minutes before I had this post scheduled to go live at 2:30 PM and they have literally just released a general Belle doll.  (Talk about some good timing!)  So after a few quick adjustments and additions to my post, here's what the Belle doll released today looks like!

Aren't these adorable?!?!?  I'm obsessed... and I'm confident that American Girl will be releasing more of the Disney Princesses as time passes.  I can't wait to see who is next and what other outfits, accessories and side kicks she'll have available!

The reason I picked this for my first Magical Merchandise Monday post back, is that I am now the very proud owner of two of these Disney dolls.  For Christmas this year, I asked Santa for a lot of smaller paints and crafting supplies... but my "big items" were Rapunzel and Cinderella.  So Christmas morning, I was transported back in time 30 years as I delicately opened Rapunzel (from my Mom) and Cinderella (from Jeremy).

The dolls are so beautiful.  I won't lie, even though I knew what they were when I was opening them, it still made me a little bit teary eyed.  It brought me back to being a kid and feeling all of the wonder when I first opened Felicity and Samantha.  And the two accessory packs I got took my breath away.  Rapunzel's little paint set is perfection, and Cinderella's pink dress tugged at my heartstrings.  That scene of the mice and birds making her pink dress will always remind me of my Nana.

It's safe the say that American Girl has knocked it out of the park on these Disney dolls.  I am so happy they have partnered with Disney to bring these dolls to the current generation of little girls... and to those of us "big girls" who are still young at heart.  °o°

Magical Merchandise: Torrid Disney Americana Collection

Happy Monday Friends!!!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  Eliot and I had a pretty busy one, but it was wonderful.  Today, I'm popping in with another new collection from Torrid.  This one snuck right by me, but thanks to my Disney Dress Shop groups on Facebook, I was made aware of this drop... and let me tell you, I was so pumped!

The past few years, they have released a few patriotic Disney pieces in May to prepare for summer.  I've bought a lot of it, but I've always hoped they would do more.  This year, Torrid completely surprised us with a full collection of Disney Americana items!  

I think the best part is that it isn't all red, white and blue, so you can wear it all summer long.  There are lots of Mickey pieces since he's an American icon himself.  Some of the patterns have stars and firework bursts so I think they could also be used for New Years Eve.  I'm so excited, but my wallet is crying.  Let's check it all out! 

This Mickey Mouse Sleeveless Halter Top is perfect for the 4th of July and for general summer wear.  I love the design with Mickey and starbursts all around him!

This Mickey & Friends Polo Shirt feels perfectly preppy with our favorite friends!

I love this fun Minnie & Daisy Stretch Button Up Shirt!  It's a great shade of red too.

This Minnie Mouse 3/4 Sleeve Sweater is subtle, but the "American Darling" Minnie Mouse embroidery on the front chest is really cute.

These Mickey and Friends Chambray Shortalls are perfect for a day at the parks!

I still haven't caved and bought a romper... but this Mickey and Friends Romper might just be the one that makes me try them out.  It's really cute and looks comfortable!

I am totally loving this Mickey Mouse Embroidery Midi Dress.  I love the pattern too!

The Mickey Mouse Chambray Bomber Jacket feels very America with a denim look.

These Mickey & Friends Shorts look comfortable... but they're also pretty short.

These Mickey Mouse Chambray Shorts have little Mickeys printed all over them.

I really love this Mickey Mouse Sweetheart Tank Blouse.  This piece in particular feels like it would work for 4th of July, watching fireworks at the parks and New Years Eve!

Finally, my absolute favorite piece from the Torrid Disney Americana Collection was this Mickey & Friends Fireworks Skater Skirt.  You all know that I'm a sucker for the holidays and this screams 4th of July.  It's red, white and blue, it has silhouettes of our favorite friends and it has fireworks... what more could you want?!?

I love so much of this collection and I definitely have my eye on a few things.  Thank goodness for my rewards points... because I think I'm gonna need them!  °o°
