A new line of merchandise has landed at the Disneyland Resort and it’s called “Park Life.
With a focus on attraction icons (and of course, a dash of Mickey and friends tossed in for good measure), the line spans a wide variety of media. Here’s a look at what’s available . . .
Apparel
This cozy-looking sweatshirt has different attractions embroidered all over it. There’s Radiator Springs Racers, the Matterhorn, and the Pixar Pal-a-Round, among others.
This adult hoodie has a lot going on.
This adult’s camp shirt is packed with all sorts of attractions.
Slightly more simple (and a tad more touristy) is this adult short-sleeve tee.
I love the blend of characters and attractions on this adult ringer tee. That mixture is seen on many of the Park Life items.
Here is another one with a character/attraction mix.
These adult leggings would pair wonderfully with most of the shirts in this line.
Moving on to kids apparel, this little raglan shirt focuses mainly on Mickey and friends. But you can spy Sleeping Beauty Castle peaking out from the bottom corner, too.
If I had my druthers, this hoodie would be in adult sizes. Sometimes the kids stuff is better designed than the adult options.
There are also kids leggings as well. Maybe for matching parent-child days at the Parks?
Two-sided sequins are still fashionable apparently. You’ll find them in Minnie’s cotton candy.
And for the littlest park-goers, this shirt has flaps to play with. Flip them up and you’ll find different attractions hidden underneath.
Accessories
Several different bag types are also sold for your toting pleasure. Shown here is a small crossbody purse (both front and back) as well as a simple cinch backpack. I (and my shoulders) appreciate it when those backpacks use the broader straps like this one does. When they are just ropes, it can hurt if you have anything heavy in the bag.
And, of course, here is Loungefly’s take on the Park Life line.
There is another backpack included in this line but, unfortunately, it looks like it wouldn’t hold a whole lot more than the Loungefly would.
This hat will match the colorful outfits in the line with ease.
Cups and Dishes
Your kitchen cupboard also gets a taste of the magic. While the art on the mug is cute, it doesn’t wrap all the way around. Odd. The water bottle, however, is a fun addition as is the bottle holder (with adjustable shoulder strap), shown beside it. I haven’t seen one of those in a long while!
Unlike the mug, this toothpick holder does have a wrap-around graphic.
All cards on the table, I am not 100 percent certain what this small dish is used for. Candy? Pistachio shells? What do you think?
Ornaments
Christmas may have just passed but there are still ornaments to be bought. Look at the detail in this one!
Here we see the double-sided Mickey silhouette ornament.
Here are the other two Park Life ornaments. The top one is pretty basic and features art from both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. I particularly like the one on the bottom, however. The different layers remind me of those pop-up greeting cards.
Toys
What’s a good merchandise line without a plush or two? Mickey holds a pennant with “Disneyland Resort” written on it while Minnie is carrying cotton candy. Both mice are dressed in attire with the same print as the camp shirt.
Here’s something you don’t see too often. A Rubik’s Cube!
Other fun finds include a set of playing cards and a travel journal. In addition to pages like the one seen in the second photo, there are simple, lined pages, envelopes, and even stickers.
Odds and Ends
For many guests, collecting character autographs is an integral part of the park-going experience. The Park Life line has an autograph and photo book for just such an occasion. It should be noted that while the book does come with a pen, many characters need a thicker pen (also found in the Park Life line). But if it’s just simple pens you are seeking, there is a six pack of pens with character art on them as well.
You may have previously seen those little cardboard DIY dioramas of different attractions like Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and The Haunted Mansion. Well, there is now a Park Life addition with Mickey, Minnie, and several attractions all jammed into that teeny little space.
Here are the two keychains from the line. They are similar with Mickey and Minnie riding in a teacup being the focal point. The charms on the keychain on the left are Space Mountain, Sleeping Beauty Castle, Pixar Pal-a-Round, and the Red Car Trolley.
New year, new coin collection? The Disneyland Resort has been good about adding new pressed coin designs recently. If you are running out of space in that old folio, this one is available and pretty darn cute!
This snuggly, soft blanket has a ton of attractions on it! I bet you could fall asleep counting them instead of sheep.
Ending this article on a sweet note, here is all the candy in the Park Life line. Indulge in a box Mickey Crispies (excuse me, Crisped Rice Cereal Treats), taffy, a tub of cotton candy, and a chocolate bar sampler.
