Celebrating the Wonder of Disney’s Mickey & Friends

It’s officially the summer of Disney100! What better way to celebrate than with our favorite pals? All throughout July we’re honoring our favorite friend gang, Disney’s Mickey & Friends, and embracing the sensational six characters that have captured our hearts and always encouraged us to be ourselves.

To commemorate Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto and Goofy, we’ve rounded up a list of our favorite products that salute the brigade.

Let’s not forget that it all started with a mouse. Whether taking to the streets or bright blue skies, bring Mickey & Friends with you no matter where you travel! Journey in style with shopDisney’s vintage screen art 1930s Mickey Mouse and Friends T-Shirt. Interested in switching it up and surprising yourself with where an adventure might take you? Artist Joe Ledbetter has reimagined Mickey Mouse and his pals in his inimitable surrealistic style for a series of vinyl figures. The Mickey Mouse Vinyl Figure by Joe Ledbetter offers the chance to try your luck at winning a unique color variant as 1 in 4 boxes contains a unique chase design. No matter where you go, the special Disney100 Mickey Mouse Unified Characters Crossbody Bag is perfect for carrying everyday essentials thanks to its detachable shoulder strap. 

Friends and family that aren’t old enough to get behind the wheel of a real car for vacation can cruise in style and choose their favorite friend of the bunch with Hot Wheels Disney Character Cars, 6-Pack. And, now that we’ve celebrated halfway to the holidays, maybe Christmas will come a bit early and you’ll want to splurge. Those of us grown-up kids who can drive, grab the Disney Mickey Mouse Edition by Vespa, painted black, red, white and yellow (you got it, the same hues of our favorite mouse!). Like Mickey Mouse, the limited editions of the Vespa Primavera 50cc, 125cc and 150cc set the imagination free while encouraging us to dream big. You can also take to the rails just like your favorite mouse conductor does with Funko Pop!’s Disney100 Mickey Train. Bring home a piece of the magic that started it all and welcome Mickey Mouse in with his classically inspired, reimagined Steamboat Car.

Loungefly has created the Disney Birthday Collection. Set to go on sale this month, those celebrating in July can now have their cake and eat it too by grabbing the Mickey Mouse and Friends Birthday Celebration Mini Backpack! Full of fun surprises to help ring in the special day, the applique party hat with metallic rainbow print and a yellow pompom on top that is removable so you can save it to wear for your birthday again next year. Look carefully and you might spot some “hidden Mickeys”! Have a birthday bestie? They can match with the Birthday Celebration Ear Headband and add even more sparkle to big days with the quarter-sleeve, crewneck Birthday Celebration Unisex Ringer Tee.
