Wordless Wednesday: 4th of July Merchandise

Thank you to the Disney Parks Blog for helping us with this week Wordless Wednesday.
You will see 4th of July Merchandise so you can rock your Disney side for the holiday.

The newest retail MagicBand features Mickey Mouse standing in front of an American flag. This limited release item has a retail of $24.95 and can be found in select merchandise locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort.

 Fourth of July limited edition pin with Carl and Ellie from Disney•Pixar’s “Up.” This pin has an edition size of 3,500 and will be released at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. A few others are the new, open edition Minnie Mouse bow decorated in red, white and blue and Oswald with flag.

The Graphic Apparel team introduced shirts including a tank top along with short and long sleeved options. These designs will be similar in both California and Florida with the only differences being the name of the Disney Resort destination.

Guests visiting Heritage Manor Gifts in World Showcase at Epcot will find some unique Americana items including shirts. 

Many locations at Disney World and Disneyland will carry USA Charm Bracelets by Alex and Ani in both gold and silver.

What is Your "Disney Moment"?

What is a Disney Moment? I'm going to channel my inner Disney therapist and try to explain it. This isn't based on any kind of professional training or education, just a few trips to Disney World.

Disney Moment: A Disney Moment is the moment you realize you are IN Disney. All the worries and cares leave you, and the outside world does not exist. Cell phones are only used for attraction line apps, the World is at your fingertips with Magic Band, and it's OK to wear Mickey Ears.

Your Disney Moment can be anything. Smells, Sights, Sounds. Something that clicks inside and you know you have arrived. For many of us, arriving at a place we call "home".

So What is Your Disney Moment?

• Boarding the Magical Express?
• Getting your Magic Bands?
• Driving under that iconic Walt Disney World sign?
• Walking down Main Street U.S.A?
• A Favorite Ride?
• A Favorite Food?
• Seeing that certain character?
• Making a purchase at the gift shoppes?

This is an interactive article folks, so please share your Disney Moments in the comments section.  

For those interested, my Disney Moment is when I unwrap the Mickey soap in the resort.  

Weird, but true!
