There’s more to Disney World than just the attractions. Guests also look forward to dining at their favorite restaurants, as well as shopping at all of the different stores in each park! In fact, Disney World has many different types of popular merchandise that visitors love to collect.
The most iconic are probably ear headbands; it’s practically a law that you have to wear them at some point on your trip! Spirit Jerseys are another item you’ll see Disney fans wearing both in and out of the parks. Loungefly backpacks, popcorn buckets, and mugs are even more collectibles that are pretty hard to pass up. What makes them so popular? These items are fun to collect because you can always find a new design or style based off of different characters!
Shoulder plushes are no different. But unlike a backpack or shirt that just features an image, these are mini versions of iconic Disney characters, so it’s like having a little friend with you as you walk around the parks! Shoulder plushes (sometimes referred to as shoulder pets) are small plush versions of a character that can sit on your shoulder or attach to another object like a bag strap.

They attach with magnets; the bottom of the plush has an interior magnet and comes with a flat, fabric-covered magnet that you can slip under your collar to make sure your friend stays secure on your shoulder!

Disney is always coming out with new characters, so keep your eyes peeled!
