I’ve seen some pretty fantastic merchandise offerings in the Disney World parks over the years.

Personalized hats or ears are always special, but you can also grab super unique items over in EPCOT‘s World Showcase. The pavilions have not only Disney souvenirs, but also items from the country (or inspired by it), and we’ve found some real gems there. However, we have to admit that THIS new adorable souvenir may be one of the greatest we’ve ever seen in the Norway Pavilion!
We saw a flash of color and had to check out what it was. What we found was what we never expected — these ADORABLE little guys called Hoptimist!

They come in multiple different sizes, and they’re pretty simple, all things considered, as they’re just little guys who bop around on your desk. But they’re SO CUTE! You set them on your desk or shelf, and just let them pop their heads up and down.

You can’t not smile when you look at it, and that’s the point! They’re supposed to add a little joy to your day, even if you’re stressed or just having an off day. They don’t make any noise, and they move with their surroundings, so if you want a little more movement, you can tap them on the head to get them bouncing more.

Turns out, these guys have been around since 1968, but we’re glad to see them in EPCOT now. Good news, though! If you’re not in the parks and won’t be for some time, you can also find versions of these guys online pretty easily! There are even MORE designs, so you’re bound to find one you love.
