As anyone who’s been to Disney World knows, the resort is always packed to the gills with souvenirs. From traditional items like plushes to collectibles like pins to the “hot product” of the moment, like spirit jerseys, you can find it all at Disney World. Believe me, I know. Over the last 30 years, I’ve seen them all… and bought them all.
So, what are the hottest souvenirs at Disney World right now, and what might be the “next big thing” at the “Most Magical Place on Earth”? This is what the experts — and our readers — think.
We reached out to our followers on Facebook and Instagram to ask: “What Disney souvenir trend do you want to see?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!
If you’re interested in sharing your thoughts on this, or any other Disney or travel-related topic, follow us on the AllEars Facebook to join in on the next conversation!
Now, let’s go over your top responses!
Antenna Toppers
Do you remember those cute Mickey antenna toppers? They were the perfect little gift to snag at the parks. But with most cars ditching radio antennas, AllEars reader Karey thinks it’s time for a clever alternative. “Since cars no longer have radio antennas, they should come up with a neat alternative to the cute antenna toppers which were great stocking stuffers.”
Could we see Disney introduce some new and equally adorable souvenir for tech-savvy guests? We’re hoping for it!
Figurine Nostalgia
Now, Disney fans, if you’re from the 80’s and 90’s, you’re not alone in your desire for vintage figurines to make a return. As reader Stacey put it, “Bring back the figurines from the 80s and 90s! I loved collecting those!”
There’s something so magical about those miniature characters, and they’d surely be a hit with collectors who are all about retro Disney vibes.
Unique Mug Designs
If you know anything about Disney World, mugs have always been a park staple, but recently, AllEars reader Stacy has noticed a lack of variety. “Bring back the availability they used to have of mugs… and unique things in shops. The last few trips it has felt like every shop had the same exact things.”
It sounds like it’s high time Disney brought back those one-of-a-kind, beautifully designed mugs that just feel extra special.
If you’re not heading to the resort anytime soon, you can find Similar Unique Mugs on Disney’s online shop.
Magnet Mania
What’s a Disney vacation without a good ol’ fridge magnet to commemorate the trip? Reader Jennifer misses the classic magnets and even found a DIY alternative, “I miss magnets. I think they’re coming back, but my last few trips I haven’t found any good ones with the dates or festivals, etc. I’ve bought pins and turned them into magnets.”
Does this mean that 2026 could be the year that magnets make a proper comeback? We’d love to see it happen!
Disney Money and Postcards
The good old days of Disney Dollars and postcards are sorely missed by reader Cathy. “I miss Disney money, that was such a great souvenir. AND postcards. Last month all I could find were the ‘fancy’ artsy post cards but I really wanted classic ones with a picture of Main St or the Characters.”
Could you imagine all the excitement if Disney reintroduced these nostalgic items in 2026?! I’m sure they’d sell like hotcakes!
Florida-Friendly Fabrics
Okay, so we all know that visiting Disney World, especially in Florida’s heat, is no joke. Reader Amy is calling for more breathable, Florida-friendly fabrics. She says, “More Florida-friendly fabrics in shirts and SHORTS! RSVLTS in the park, merch for Hollywood Studios, more shoe options, refrigerator magnets (the kind grandma always had), and more visors!”
Listen, we’re all about having more park-ready outfits that keep us cool. Yes, please!
Of course, if you want to be RSVLTS ready before heading to Disney World, you can pick up some of the company’s goods – like this Pluto 95th Anniversary ”Mouse’s Best Friend – Red” Button Down Shirt – on Disney’s online store beforehand.
Plus-Size Products
Unfortunately, shopping for clothes at Disney World can be a bit tough for plus-size guests, which is why reader George hopes to see more inclusive sizing. “Plus size products would be nice,” he shared.
Disney could totally tap into a huge market by expanding its apparel range in the parks, which, at the end of the day, would make everyone just a bit happier and feel included.
If you’re looking for plus-size Disney items before your trip, you can find items like this Fantasia Crewneck at BoxLunch.
Character-Themed Socks
Now, who doesn’t love a good pair of Disney socks? Reader Bonnie shared, “Bring back the good socks! Ankle ones with characters.”
We loved how these small but mighty souvenirs were practical and a fun way to show your Disney love long after you’ve left the parks. You can currently find these Character Socks on Amazon!
Ride and Attraction Merchandise
As you know, some of the best park memories are made on the rides, and reader Mike wants more merch dedicated to those experiences. “More ride and attraction-based merchandise,” he says.
Can you imagine being able to shop entire collections for your favorite rides? We’re here for it!
Of course, you can find some ride-specific merchandise like this Haunted Mansion Spirit Jersey both inside the parks AND on Disney’s online store.
Muppet Merch
Lastly, we’ve got the voice of a true Muppet fan here! Reader Mariana shared, “A line dedicated to The Muppets.”
From Kermit tees to Gonzo plushes, a Muppets line could be a breakout trend, and one we might see in 2026 with the opening of the Muppet Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster refurbishment.
Of course, if you don’t want to wait until the new ride opens – or want a new shirt to wear to its opening day – you can find some cool Muppets T-Shirts on Amazon.
Well, those were just some of the Disney souvenir trends you want to see in the future, and now we want to hear even more from you! In the meantime, stay tuned to AllEars for all the latest Disney news!
I Asked 5 Disney Experts for the Most Skippable Ride in Disney World — It Got Heated
What Disney souvenir trends do you want to see in 2025? Share them with us down in the comments!
I would like to see more women’s clothing sizes, small and extra small. I go to the world often snd always have difficulty finding these sizes.
Another vote for more plus size. Not only are there less available all around, the plus sizes today are smaller than they used to be. I have old 2XLs that are larger than today’s 3XLs.
I’d like to see the Disney Resorts offer more merchandise with the name and logo of the resort on it. I also loved collecting the refillable mugs which used to feature the name of the resort from where it was purchased. They were great keepsakes. I still use mine regularly!
Definitely a return of decent fridge magnets, I brought 2 last visit and had to hunt for them. Also does anyone else remember the FREE resort postcards you would find in your room, may we have those back, please
