Hi there, Michele, glad you found planDisney!
Great minds think alike! I was just at the
Disneyland Resort last week and purchased a classic Mickey Mouse sweatshirt that had my name embroidered on the front neckline. I can share my experience and offer some tips on getting embroidery done!
Name personalization is always a fun way to customize souvenirs from the Disneyland Resort. There are quite a few merchandise items that can accommodate embroidery, including some sweatshirts! Not all merchandise can be embroidered though due to fabric type or area available to embroider. Additionally, all embroidery and personalization can only happen on same-day purchases with a receipt. Both types of customization are an additional fee.
Magic Key pass holder discounts will apply to the merchandise but not the customization fee.
While I don't have experience with embroidery on the backside of apparel, it doesn't hurt to ask. It is still the neckline so the hoops would work whether it's the front or the back. However, know that what to embroider is at the cast members' discretion and aligns with Disneyland's embroidery guidelines. They typically do not do business names or sports teams, and since the Disneyland "D" and "Disneyland" are their intellectual property, designed with specific fonts that are not available for embroidery, most likely that won't be an option. Any other word with a capital "D" would be based on whatever font is available at that specific
shop location. They each have a book with available thread colors, fonts, and word ideas that you can choose from. For reference at
Disneyland Park, I visited
Disney Showcase and know that
Plaza Point, both on Main Street, U.S.A., offer embroidery services.
Having a special piece of Disneyland Resort with your name on it is a fun souvenir. I love my new sweatshirt and since my name is not always available with pre-personalized items, this takes the cake! I sure hope that you're able to get the perfect customization on your next visit, Michele. I hope this information helps you as you plan everything out! If you have any other questions, feel free to
reach out again!
Magic happens!
