Park-Specific and Franchise Themed Designs
In addition to the classic character shirt, the new collection includes designs that celebrate specific parks and popular franchises. These shirts allow guests to showcase their favorite aspects of the Walt Disney World experience.
These specialized designs are strategically placed in retail locations relevant to their theme, such as the Animal Kingdom shirt being sold within that park and the Star Wars shirt at Hollywood Studios, home to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
The Merriest Place on Earth Tee
Another option available at Disney Springs is a dark teal T-shirt that declares Walt Disney World “The Merriest Place on Earth.” The shirt features a large graphic of Mickey Mouse on a ladder decorating a Christmas tree while Minnie Mouse sits beside a box of ornaments.
The phrase “The Merriest Place on Earth” is printed above the image in bright teal and red lettering. Below the graphic, the classic Walt Disney World wordmark appears in bright teal. This shirt is also sold at Marketplace Co-Op for $34.99.
Animal Kingdom “Let the Holidays Roar” Tee
For visitors to Disney's Animal Kingdom, a park-exclusive T-shirt is now available. This dark teal shirt features the phrase “Let the Holidays Roar” in large text. The word “Holidays” is intertwined with Christmas lights, and the “O” in “Roar” is replaced with the iconic drawing of Simba from The Lion King.
The design also includes the Tree of Life and a star above the text, with the official Animal Kingdom wordmark in orange below. This shirt was found at Discovery Trading Company in Disney's Animal Kingdom and is priced at $34.99.
Context: Park-Exclusive Merchandise
Park-specific merchandise, like the Animal Kingdom tee, is a popular strategy for Disney. It encourages guests to visit different parks to find unique items and creates a stronger connection between the merchandise and the park experience. These exclusive items often become sought-after collectibles for frequent visitors and fans.
Star Wars “Merry Force Be With You” Tee
Fans of the Star Wars franchise can find a new holiday shirt at Hollywood Studios. This green T-shirt features Grogu (often called Baby Yoda) pointing up towards the arm of the Mandalorian. The design is accompanied by the phrase “Merry Force Be With You” in a bold, red, stylized font.
The design cleverly merges the holiday greeting "Merry Christmas" with the famous Star Wars line, "May the Force be with you," creating a festive shirt for fans of the series.
This T-shirt is available at Keystone Clothiers in Hollywood Studios. Like the others in the collection, its price is set at $34.99, providing a themed option for guests visiting the home of Star Wars attractions at the resort.
