If I didn’t know any better, I’d suspect that Walt Disney World wants to be able to throw this on the regular store shelves Christmas week if it doesn’t sell out by the last party. Nevertheless, the degree to which Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is minimized strikes me as odd. I shouldn’t have particularly strong feelings on any of the above merchandise, as there’s a zero percent chance I’d buy any of it regardless of the designs. Walt Disney World has also shared a pin with Santa Mickey and a not-so-silly reindeer, which appears to have Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and maybe Magic Kingdom 2023 on the present tags. This Spirit Jersey costs more because the pattern is so complicated! ( I’ve been advised to stop quoting ITYSL so much because ‘regular people’ don’t think it’s as funny as I do.) ![]() A good example of Walt Disney World following the pricing policies of Dan Flashes. Now they’re like $90, but have the whole visual kitchen sink going on. They used to cost ~$40 but only said Walt Disney World on the back, making the cost approximately $40 per graphic. To Disney’s credit, many of these puppies are offering more bang for buck now. I’ve learned better than to speak candidly about Spirit Jerseys given their huge following. I’m hard to please, and recognize there’s a lot of personal preference at play. I also appreciate that the year isn’t too prominent, but conversely, am not a fan of how small Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is. I’m a big sucker for this Mickey Mouse character model, and think it’s perfect for vintage-inspired souvenirs that have a mid-century vibe. Now we know that for sure–so let’s take a look at the Spirit Jerseys, shirts, mug, and everything else for the 2023 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party that Walt Disney World just shared…įirst up is a child’s ringer shirt that has a Santa Mickey Mouse holding a present with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Magic Kingdom 2023 on its two tags. It was also unlikely that Walt Disney World would deliberately discontinue merchandise for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party given its popularity. Regardless, we saw it with delayed deliveries of 50th Anniversary items, limited selection of MagicBands, and more. Those disruptions plagued Walt Disney World for a surprisingly long time, even after most major retailers had put them in the rearview mirror and were dealing with the opposite problem–inventory overstock due to the bullwhip effect. ![]() Although it’s odd that MNSSHP (the earlier of the two events) did have merchandise and MVMCP didn’t, it probably was still a supply chain or production issue. Given all of that, our stock answer up until now when readers have asked about merchandise for the 2023 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is that we expect it. ![]() It also seemed like a conspicuous omission, since so many annual attendees collect items from the paid parties–having exclusive merchandise is low-hanging fruit and essentially “free money” for Walt Disney World. That came as a big disappointment and caught many fans by surprise, especially since Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party did have special souvenirs. The reason for those inquiries is because Walt Disney World didn’t offer a product line for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party last year. In this case, many readers have asked us about merchandise for the 2023 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, so we figured it’d be worth making an exception and sharing. We don’t normally do merchandise updates unless the spirit ( of the season) strikes us, as we’re not big on this stuff and it isn’t our area of expertise. The company has shared photos offering a preview of merchandise for the 2023 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, and we wanted to give you a first look at some of these souvenirs. It’s time for Christmas in July at Walt Disney World, as the parks are now (more than) halfway to the holidays.
