Like wow, I’m sure they’ll still get snapped up by collectors!
And with all the other winter Duffy merch dropping that same day, I think I’ll give DisneySea’s pre-opening a miss on Nov 2. No thank you, not dealing with that chaos 😅

Is it a lot to spend ¥9,500 on a jacket? I think it's better value than a spirit jersey!
Just released Oct 1, in time for cooler weather...
September 14 wasn’t just the last day for Aquatopia, it was also the final performance of Disneyland’s castle show, Reach for the Stars.
In its final 2 months, the show got a special edition called Reach for the Stars: Everlasting Dream, complete with a drone finale. If you didn’t get to see it in person, official footage is now available. Pop it on and enjoy a little Disney magic from home!
I know the show was not well received, but it is still pretty cool!

Oh my goodness, is anyone else seriously grieving the loss of Small World with Groot?
Sometimes I feel bummed it is/was only temporary. Why can't TDR just make it permanent already like Stitch and the Tiki Room get to stay forever.
Anyway, scrolling today and found this absolutely amazing behind-the-scenes video of how they put it together. It totally made my morning, so I just had to share it. Until Groot's back!
Like lots of you, I didn't make it back to the park before Aquatopia closed, but TDR has published a 360 experience for the next 4 weeks so we can relive the experience one last time.
Enjoy it while it's still there.

(Until October 15, 2026 only!)
Lots of excitement over at DisneySea today, it seems! This was shared earlier, showing the Electric Railway being evacuated right in the middle of the track. I really hope none of those poor people are afraid of heights!

Spotted this five days early! The event doesn’t officially start until next Wednesday! I’m pretty excited and totally here for the season, although it does seem to be having a bit of a soggy start.

To quote Jodie Foster in my all time fave movie, Contact, “Mathematics is the only truly universal language.”
Such a splendid idea, wish even more things can be like that!

So rides like Turtle talk, Nemo, Magic Lamp, 20000 Leagues etc no longer have any public priority lane access pass. But they are still advertised as part of the vacation packages.
Any on the ground report on how they are operating at the moment? Are the priority lanes still "staffed" by someone in the past (presumably the QR code scanner is no longer used given VP tickets don't use QR codes)?
Poor Maiku.
I am very squeamish about getting my fingers trapped in stuff, so this is definitely not coming home with me. I am grimacing now just thinking about it.
But if you want it, it went on sale this week August 27, 2026 for ¥3,000!
Let’s get it out of the way, Tokyo Disney Resort doesn’t really do big birthday “freebies.” Aside from a sweet little celebratory sticker (which many Castmembers will happy provide), there aren’t any official complimentary treats or perks just for being the birthday star. Everyone is celebrating something! Some restaurants can add a tiny “Happy Birthday” pick to your meal if you mention it when ordering, but that’s about it.
But here’s the thing: who needs something for free when you can treat yourself to the cutest little souvenir? From Thursday 27 August 2026, you can pick up an adorable Happy Birthday pin badge for just ¥1,200. It’s the perfect way to mark your special day and a lovely keepsake to remember your TDR celebration. Better yet, get someone to buy it for you!

The last time I was in DisneySea in the summer, I put a wish on the "Wishing Place" Tanabata tree. Everyone seems to celebrate Tanabata on a different day, but today, August 19, 2026 is officially the 7th Day of the 7th Month of this Lunar Year, so happy Tanabata.
Here are some fun facts from the internet:

Did you also grow up celebrating this festival in your home country? It is very romantic!
My absolute favorite cold-weather comfort food, the "Cream of Mushroom Soup with Truffle Accent" (or "truffle soup" as I call it), is making its return at Ristorante di Canaletto from Sep 15 2026!
Also, while scrolling through the new menu, I spotted this Pancetta and Turnip Top Pizza and only after a closer look did I realise… there’s a Mickey there! I’m not sure if it officially counts as a “Hidden Mickey”, but it’s definitely hiding in plain sight.
Never managed to get the Rapunzel light up lantern popcorn bucket, but this new light up one is pretty cute too! 😍
It’s coming on 17 September 2026 for ¥3,800 and will be available at both Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea.
The “Pumpkin with a Ghost” bucket is also returning this year for ¥3,400, from 15 September, but that one is exclusive to Big Pop. I think I will resist the temptation and skip this old one and go for the new bucket this time! 🎃✨

Those Tokyo Disney folks can always be trusted to issue hilariously hard to understand “safety” posters every season, but here we are for the summer.
So what’s the story on this one? Did Pluto get his tail caught in the door again? Did Minnie leave Mickey behind on the monorail (kidding, obviously he should know to get off)? Or did Minnie forget half her luggage on the monorail? Judging by how Minnie’s practically leaping, I’m betting it was Mickey?

Put this in the column of "solving a problem I didn't even know I had".
A stylish “bracelet” went on sale yesterday July 30th 2026. It can be worn on your wrist or secured to your pram, making it easy to hook your Mickey balloon to.
What will they come up with next!
This is all over socials right now, apparently due to thunderclouds forming over the TDR area, outdoor rides are all suspended and indoor sheltering instructions are in effect: guests are being asked to enter the nearest building and not to leave.
There was some poor sods who just finished their Splash Mountain soaking wet, and now is stuck in the cold air conditioned areas. Better safe than sorry.
Does this happen often?
Another new release (just out last week July 16). These ones are better than the batch a few months ago (with Mickey), because there are so many park motifs, like the chicken leg, Alien Mochi/little green dumplings, and Sindbad!
Can you tell where they are all from? I cam almost name them all, except does Meeko appear in the park?
Still don't love that these are blind bags (each bag is ¥1,300 with 2 mystery pins inside), but at least they allow you to buy the whole set for ¥7,800...
Tokyo Disney Resort just dropped tote bags with attraction poster designs. Initially I thought it was a bit Etsy but I have come around to the idea!
Here’s the catch! They are sold as blind bags. ¥1,400 each, but luckily you can get a full set for ¥8,400 if you don't want to take chances with duplicates and all that.
The designs are PhiharMagic, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Haunted Mansion, Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror and Sindbad!

Okay, this is one of those little park details I absolutely adore, and now it’s coming home with us!
The DisneySea "Hotel Hightower" sign (you know, the one that mysteriously transforms into “Tower of Terror” with that spooky green glow) has always been such a fun, eerie touch in the park. And now it’s been turned into the cutest fridge magnet, perfect for adding a little Disney magic to your kitchen, if you’re brave enough to handle the chills!
It releases tomorrow, July 16, 2026, and I already know this is going straight onto my must-buy list. I hope it is still available when I visit in a few months!
