Packing your bags for Destination D23? Don’t forget your shopping bags! Mickey’s of Glendale, the exclusive Walt Disney Imagineering campus store, is returning to the fan-favorite event with a brand new lineup of exclusive merchandise. The collections, designed by the very Imagineers and storytellers who bring Disney magic to life, are inspired by Disney Parks attractions, global destinations, and the spirit of Imagineering itself.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect to find.

The Passport Collection

For Destination D23’s “Journey Around the Worlds of Disney” theme, Lead Concept Designer Mike Quinn created the Passport Collection to capture the spirit of travel and discovery. This graphic-driven collection is inspired by global transit systems and uses bold, minimalist designs.

“With the overarching theme of travel, I wanted to do something unique and different, both visually and conceptually,” Quinn said. “And of course, something bold and graphic that would work well on a t-shirt.”

A fun detail of the collection is the use of metro iconography—those simple, graphic symbols often seen on urban transit signs. Upon closer inspection, you’ll see they are coded with abbreviations for the Disney parks where the attractions are located.

Disney Destinations Collection

If you prefer to take to the skies, buckle up for the Disney Destinations collection. Product Designer Tyler Krantz created a whimsical collection that celebrates the global reach of Disney parks. The artwork is inspired by the vibrant, mid-century style of legendary Disney artist Mary Blair.

The collection connects all six Disney castles through playful illustrations featuring airborne characters like Dumbo, Goofy in his prop plane, and the beloved Orange Bird taking flight.

“I was inspired by Mary Blair’s work on the classic attraction ‘it’s a small world’ and her imaginative concept art for Disney’s iconic mid-century films,” Krantz said. “This collection captures the hopeful tone, stylized shapes, and bold colors of Mary Blair’s work.”

For Krantz, one piece holds a lot of personal meaning: the Disneyland Resort pin. “Disneyland and Disney California Adventure were the very first Disney parks I visited, all the way back in 2001!”

The Muppets Studio Collections

Mickey’s of Glendale is celebrating The Muppets’ 70th anniversary in a big way with not one, but three exclusive Muppets-themed collections. Much of the merchandise was designed by Dani Iglesias, a producer for The Muppets Studio and a huge fan.

“If you had told me as a kid that someday I’d be designing for The Muppets, I’d never have believed it,” Iglesias said. “My design process is all about keeping one foot in the past and one foot in the future — honoring the history of these beloved characters but also allowing the franchise to evolve.”

Here’s what to look for:

• The Muppets Studio Black & Gold Collection: A sleek, classic lineup featuring the studio logo on a new Spirit Jersey and a crew cap.
• Kermit Takeover Capsule: A soft, summery, lime-green takeover starring everyone’s favorite frog.
• The Muppets 70: #1–35 Collection: Inspired by the first 35 characters spotlighted in the anniversary campaign, this nostalgic collection includes cozy apparel and fun home goods.

Iglesias is particularly excited about the 70th-anniversary sweatshirt. “It’s got over a dozen characters in the Muppet Show-style arches. It’s so soft and cozy — it’s definitely going in my closet!”

Even More Magic Awaits

In addition to these spotlighted collections, guests will also find an entirely new collection of Walt Disney Imagineering merchandise. Whether you’re a collector, a parks history buff, or just a fan of bold, original design, there’s something for everyone at Mickey’s of Glendale at Destination D23.
