When visiting Disney’s parks, we often seek out that special souvenir which captures a specific memory or attraction from our experience. For those that visit Walt Disney World AND Disneyland, it’s always more special to find merchandise that is exclusive to each set of parks, versus the t-shirt or pin you can find at either location.
Today, we’re exploring some of the must-have items that can only be found at the Happiest Place on Earth, highlighting what makes them special and why they are perfect for any Disney enthusiast. Unlike items available at both Disneyland and Disney World, these exclusive pieces reflect the distinct charm of the Disneyland Resort.
Disneyland Resort Starbucks Mugs
Starbucks locations at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are your one-stop shop for park specific souvenirs AND your next cup of coffee. The Discovery Series Starbucks mugs highlights specific attractions, icons, and snacks from either park, designed with a sweet palate of candy colors. The mugs are $24.99 each, and there’s a Disneyland Park tote for $29.99!
The mug and tote for Disneyland Park features Sleeping Beauty Castle, Sorcerer Mickey from Fantastic, The Haunted Mansion, the temple from Indiana Jones Adventure, the Matterhorn, the clock face from ‘it’s a small world’, Big Thunder Mountain, a Dole Whip, and more!
Disney California Adventure’s design also features top attractions of the park and plenty of Pixar characters.
Spot Carthay Circle, Mickey’s Fun Wheel (or Pixar Pal-A-Round), a glider from Soarin’, Radiator Springs Racers, Mater driving up to the Cozy Cone Motel, Grizzly Peak, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission Breakout, Captain America’s shield, and more!
Princess Aurora Baseball Jersey
Disney recently released a set of Princess baseball jerseys available at both Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and DisneyStore.com, but this specific design stands out for the west coast, as the pink & blue Aurora mashup fits Sleeping Beauty castle perfectly. Priced at $74.99, you can find this jersey at a few locations across the resort, including Elias & Co. on Buena Vista Street, World of Disney in Downtown Disney, and the Emporium on Main Street.
Cars Land Souvenirs
Arguably one of the best lands at Disneyland Resort is DCA’s Cars Land. The highly-detailed Carburetor County plops you right In the middle of Cars. Whether you love the Pixar films or not, you’ll find yourself falling in love with the charm of this land, its characters, kitschy shops, fun attractions, and tasty food. Cars Land has a collection of its own merchandise to commemorate your visit, here are some of the adorable pieces I recently discovered:
This toy car collection includes attraction vehicles made for play or display, based on the popular Radiator Springs Racers and Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree! These are $34.99.
A newer release showcases the iconic Cozy Cone Motel neon sign from the movie and land. With one press of the power button, the neon portion lights up with LEDs, complete with the animation on the “Zzzz” portion! This one is $39.99.
For $24.99, the Cozy Cone Motel is also represented with this decorative planter:
Disney Trading Pins
You’ll find a plethora of pins across the resort, but it’s always fun to find those specific ones to remember your Disneyland visit by. After some searching, I discovered two designs you can only find on the west coast (Fillmore’s from Cars Land and Indiana Jones Adventure). Have you seen any others?
Disneyland Resort Spirit Jersey
Last but certainly not least, we have a Disneyland version of the Magic Kingdom Spirit Jersey we recently spotted at WDW! For $79.99, the back of the jersey vibrantly represents iconic attractions from both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, set against a light gray background.
The letters include Sleeping Beauty Castle, ‘it’s a small world’, the Pixar Pal-A-Around, the Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Mad Tea Party, and Matterhorn — complete with fireworks, of course.
