Walt Disney World Previews Merchandise for Upcoming 55th Anniversary

Walt Disney World is getting ready to celebrate its 55th anniversary in just under a month on October 1 – and of course, there will be some exclusive merchandise for the occasion.

What's Happening:

• Walt Disney World has shared a first look at the exclusive merchandise created to celebrate the resort's 55th anniversary.
• The preview likely isn't the entire collection, but it has given us our first look at a shirt, hoodie, pair of mouse ears, backpack and even a patriotic Mickey Mouse plush.
• The shirt features a patriotic Mickey, looking like he just stepped out of Main Street, U.S.A., in front of a stylized Cinderella Castle, with the 55 Magical Years logo.
• The hoodie is an updated version of a design that has been used many times over the years, representing all four parks.

• Put a bow on top of your outfit with this Minnie Mouse ear headband created just for the anniversary.

• Mickey Mouse is a true citizen of Main Street in this plush, which features a 55 Magical Years pendant.

• Lastly, a backpack features the same designs from the hoodie all-over.

• The collection will soon be available at the Magic Kingdom's Emporium, EPCOT's Creations Shop and other select locations across the resort.
• Also celebrating the 55th anniversary is an exquisitely detailed Cinderella doll.
