Get Your Wallets Ready for the 2026 Halloween Haul
It might only be April, but in the world of Disney, spooky season is practically here. Disney just gave us a massive first look at over 30 new Halloween souvenirs that are set to materialize later this year, and let’s just say our shopping lists are already getting long. From glow-in-the-dark apparel to hauntingly cute home decor, there is something for every kind of Disney fan.
This year’s collection is split between general park merchandise and exclusive items for the after-hours parties. Whether you’re heading to Walt Disney World for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or hitting Disneyland Resort for the Oogie Boogie Bash, you’ll find plenty of ways to show off your spooky spirit.
Apparel and the Return of the Classics
The core 2026 collection leans heavily into that nostalgic orange, black, and gray color palette we all love. Spirit Jerseys and crewneck sweatshirts are the stars of the show this year. A standout piece is the Headless Horseman hoodie, which features a deep purple hue and detailed artwork on both the front and the back. If you’re a sports fan, keep an eye out for the Halloween-themed hockey jersey. It features a Mickey pumpkin on the front and the number 71 on the back, a nod to the year Walt Disney World first opened its gates.
- Classic Halloween Ear Headbands with festive orange bows.
- Black Bat Minnie Ears for a more gothic look.
- Customizable Create-Your-Own Headbands featuring mini plush versions of bats and pumpkins.
- Vampire Mickey Baseball Caps and matching accessories.
Exclusive Party Merch and Collectibles
For those attending the ticketed events, the merchandise takes a more specific turn. The Oogie Boogie Bash gear at Disney California Adventure is going all-in on The Nightmare Before Christmas theme. Look for a neon-lined pullover hoodie featuring Oogie Boogie himself, alongside Jack Skellington and Sally. Over at the Magic Kingdom, the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party exclusive collection includes a variety of tees and a unique vampire-themed keychain that is bound to be a fan favorite.
Plush collectors, take note: Disney is releasing a Sally Slater plush, better known as the Tightrope Walker from the Haunted Mansion’s iconic stretching room. You can also snag a Vampire Stitch plush, which shows Experiment 626 ready for a night of trick-or-treating.
Why It Matters for Your 2026 Trip
If you’re planning a trip during the fall months, knowing about these drops early helps you budget. Disney merchandise has a habit of selling out quickly, especially the more unique items like the Headless Horseman gear or the Haunted Mansion character plushes. Many of these items will be available at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, but select pieces will also drop on the Disney Store online for those who can’t make it to the parks.
Planning Pro-Tips
- Use Mobile Order: Many shops in the parks now allow you to mobile order merchandise. This is a life-saver during party nights when the lines for the Emporium can be an hour long.
- Check the Disney Store Early: Often, the general Halloween collection drops online a few weeks before it hits the shelves in the parks.
- Look for ‘Purchase with Purchase’ deals: This year, Disney is offering a “Happy Halloween” tote bag as a special add-on when you spend a certain amount at select retail locations.
Whether you’re in it for the ears or the coffee (keep an eye out for the new Joffrey’s Villains Trio blends!), the 2026 Halloween season is shaping up to be one of the best yet for collectors. Happy haunting!
