Royal greetings, Stephanie and welcome to planDisney!
Stephanie, even though we are months away, I'm already so excited about the upcoming anniversary celebrations. I can hardly believe that
Magic Kingdom Park will be 50 years old!
While there was a recent announcement on the
Disney Parks Blog about enhancements at all four theme parks around the Walt Disney World Resort for the anniversary, we haven't yet gotten word about merchandise. Stephanie, I too am very hopeful that you'll see some items prior to that October 1st date. Make sure to keep a close watch on the
Disney Parks Blog as pixie dusted announcements (
including limited edition merchandise) tend to pop up there first.
Stephanie, if for some reason merchandise is not released in time for your trip make sure to visit the
shopDisney website frequently when you return home. Experience has taught me that you just never know when special items will be available for sale online. In the past, I have missed out on some park specific items but then found them on shopDisney a few months later.
Best wishes Stephanie on your quest for the perfect EARS, sweatshirt or whatever your heart desires. I'll be wishing on a star for you that anniversary merchandise abounds at the end of September. I hope you'll come back and see us here at planDisney with any other questions you might have.
We'll see ya real soon!
Lauren
