If you’re heading to Destination D23 at Walt Disney World this August, listen up—because this is where the real merch magic happens.
One of the best things about being a D23 Gold Member (besides the behind-the-scenes news and early access) is the exclusive merchandise—and this year’s Shopping Spree is one of the biggest highlights of the entire D23 calendar. Whether you’re already holding a ticket to the main event or you’re a member still thinking about jumping in, this shopping experience is absolutely worth your attention.
Four Ultra-Exclusive Stores, One Epic Weekend
D23 is bringing four incredible retail locations to one place: Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, August 30–31. These shops are packed with limited-time, member-only merchandise—including items you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
Here’s the breakdown:
-
The Walt Disney Company Store: Packed with bold Destination D23 gear, including colorful spirit jerseys, Loungefly accessories, and RSVLTS shirts.
-
Mickey’s of Glendale: The crown jewel. Usually reserved for Imagineers only, this is your rare chance to shop gear celebrating the creative legacy of Walt Disney Imagineering.
-
Disney Studio Store Hollywood: For the first time, this legendary shop is popping up outside of California—bringing its sleek Mickey Mouse apparel and collectible pins to Florida.
-
Ink & Paint Marketplace: Featuring fun finds from Disney partners like Ravensburger, Lug, and more.
Why This Merch Drop Matters
These four stores won’t be open forever. They’re available only during the Destination D23 weekend, and even then, only to those with access. Whether you’re after limited-edition pins, WDI-branded apparel, or that one perfect Mickey hoodie, this is your moment.
And let’s be honest: For many D23 members, this shopping experience is the reason to attend.
How to attend the Sale?
If you have a Destination D23 ticket, you’re good to go! You’ll have priority access to the shopping locations throughout the weekend. Be sure to check your shopping window and plan ahead—some of the most popular items go fast.
If you’re a D23 Gold Member without a Destination D23 ticket, you can still access the Shopping Spree—but you’ll need to act fast. A limited number of separately ticketed shopping windows are available, and they’re tied to scheduled time slots. If shopping is your main goal, don’t wait—reserve your spot now.
Final Tip: Make It a Merch Mission
Whether you’re after Imagineering exclusives or colorful collectibles that scream “D23,” this event brings together some of the most exciting Disney merchandise of the year—all in one place, for one weekend only. Don’t miss your shot to take home a little piece of the magic.
