New Treasures at Downtown Disney
It is a busy week for shoppers at the Disneyland Resort. While many guests focus on the park attractions, the shopping district and surrounding hotels are currently hosting some of the most exciting new merchandise arrivals of the season. From restocked fan-favorites like the Duffy and Friends pins to new Marvel additions at The LEGO Store, there is plenty to explore without ever needing a park ticket.
If you are looking for the latest in Disney Vacation Club (DVC) gear or high-end fan apparel, two specific locations should be at the top of your list: Disney’s Fantasia Shop at the Disneyland Hotel and The D-Lander Shop in Downtown Disney.
The Rainbow Disney Vacation Club Collection
For those who call Disney their “home away from home,” the new Rainbow DVC Collection has officially arrived at Disney’s Fantasia Shop. This shop is often the go-to destination for DVC-specific items, and this latest drop doesn’t disappoint. The standout items include:
- Rainbow DVC Minnie Ears ($36.99): These ears feature a white, simulated-leather headband with a repeating rainbow DVC pattern. The look is finished with a classic white bow and a silver DVC Mickey decoration in the center. A silver DVC Member plaque is also found on the side of the headband.
- Rainbow DVC Crossbody Bag ($39.99): Perfect for a day in the parks, this bag mirrors the ear design with the same rainbow pattern and silver accents. It also includes a convenient zipper pocket on the backside for easy access to your essentials.
Her Universe Checkered Mickey Collection
Moving over to The D-Lander Shop in Downtown Disney, fashion-forward guests will find the new Checkered Mickey Collection by Her Universe. While this collection was previously spotted at Walt Disney World, it has finally made its way to the West Coast. This line blends a vintage aesthetic with modern silhouettes, featuring a distinctive cream, gray, and white color palette.
The collection includes a variety of pieces at different price points:
- Checkered Mickey Jacket ($79.99): This cream jacket features a gray-and-white Mickey design on the back with matching checkered sleeves and a Mickey glove “28” design on the front.
- Checkered Mickey Cardigan ($84.99): A cozy option featuring gray trim, Mickey letter blocks, and adorable Mickey-shaped pockets.
- Checkered Mickey Collar Button-Up Shirt ($74.99): A sharp look with a Mickey design on the chest and a checkered collar.
- Smiling Mickey Shirt ($39.99): A simple and bright option for a casual day out.
- Mickey Linework Sweatshirt ($79.99): This gray hoodie is covered in white linework featuring Mickey heads, balloons, and gloves.
- Mickey Pajama Crop Top ($54.99): Part of a matching set featuring Mickey gloves and letter graphics.
Why These Collections Matter
These arrivals represent a growing trend of specialized merchandise hitting the resorts. The DVC collection allows members to show off their status with a vibrant, modern look, while the Her Universe line continues to bridge the gap between theme park souvenirs and everyday streetwear. The D-Lander Shop, in particular, remains a must-visit for brands like Stoney Clover Lane and Pandora, making it a high-traffic spot for collectors.
Pro-Tips for Your Shopping Trip
If you are planning to hunt down these items, keep these tips in mind. First, remember that you don’t need a theme park ticket to visit the Disneyland Hotel or Downtown Disney, though parking fees may apply. Second, DVC merchandise at the Fantasia Shop can move quickly, especially accessories like Minnie Ears. Finally, if you’re a fan of Her Universe, The D-Lander Shop is your best bet for seeing the full fit and feel of the apparel in person before you buy.
Whether you are a local or just visiting for the weekend, these new drops offer a fresh way to celebrate your love for Mickey and the magic of the parks.
