Your New Favorite Pixar Finds: A Deep Dive into HKDL’s Summer Fest Merch
Hong Kong Disneyland is currently celebrating its first ever Pixar Summer Fest, and the park is absolutely bursting with vibrant colors and beloved characters. Running from June 12 through August 31, 2026, this seasonal event is more than just a party. It is a full scale celebration that spans the entire resort. While the new Pixar Pals Spectacular nighttime show and the Pixar Water Play Street Party are drawing huge crowds, the merchandise shelves are where the real summer stories are being told. If you’re a fan of the world of Toy Story or the classic Pixar aesthetic, you’ll want to save some room in your suitcase.
The Stars of the Show: Rex, Bullseye, and Jessie
Walking through the shops on Main Street, U.S.A., it is clear who the heavy hitters are this season. Rex, the lovable and often anxious dinosaur, is finally getting his moment in the sun. From Partysaurus Rex inspired apparel to specialized pins and hats, he is everywhere. You’ll also find a significant amount of gear featuring Bullseye and Jessie. This duo has been a fan favorite since Toy Story 2, and their inclusion in this summer’s lineup is a nostalgic nod to the Woody’s Roundup gang. Expect to see plenty of plush keychains and charms featuring these three specifically, as they are the primary focuses of the park’s limited time entertainment offerings.
Lotso Fever: The Pink Bear Who Conquered the Coast
It is impossible to talk about merchandise at Hong Kong Disneyland without mentioning Lotso. Despite being the antagonist of Toy Story 3, the strawberry scented bear remains one of the most popular characters across Disney’s Asian parks. This summer is no exception. The Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear has a massive presence in the Summer Fest collection, ranging from his signature scented plush to a wide variety of lifestyle accessories. Whether it’s a card wallet or a themed shirt, Lotso’s pink hue and strawberry aroma are dominating the shelves. For collectors, these park exclusive Lotso items are often some of the most sought after pieces in the world.
Animation Academy: Where Art Meets the Merchandise
One of the coolest tie-ins this summer is the Draw & Meet Experience at the Animation Academy. Guests aren’t just buying merchandise; they’re learning to create it. After a lesson on how to sketch Bullseye, Lotso, or Rex, guests can actually head next door to meet that specific character in a matching pose. This experience has directly influenced the merchandise selection. The focus on these specific characters on the shelves allows guests to take home a physical reminder of the character they just learned to draw. It is a brilliant way to connect the park’s activities with its retail offerings.
Limited-Edition Park Gear: Spirit Jerseys and More
For those who love the classic Pixar look, the collection includes a stunning Spirit Jersey designed with the primary colors of the iconic Pixar ball. This is a must have for many collectors. Additionally, because summer in Hong Kong can be quite rainy, Disney has released a dedicated Pixar themed umbrella featuring the park logo and a collage of characters. You’ll also find mystery blind boxes, magnetic frames, and stationery sets that make for perfect, easy to carry souvenirs. Whether you’re looking for something functional like a card wallet or something purely fun like a miniature plush, this festival has covered all the bases for Pixar enthusiasts.
