PHOTOS: Christmas 2016 Merchandise Featuring Obscure & Rare Disney Characters Hits Shelves at Disney Parks

While visiting Disney Springs over the weekend, I couldn’t help but notice that it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

img_4642

It’s almost Halloween, but it’s now full speed towards the Christmas holiday season at the Walt Disney World Resort. Apparently, an entire, HUGE Christmas store in Disney’s Days of Christmas just isn’t enough for Disney Springs, so holiday merchandise has now taken over what was the Wonderful World of Memories shop (located between Hanes Design-A-Tee and The Art of Disney). This is located literally right across the path from Days of Christmas as well.

img_4643

Now, we already previewed all off the great new ornaments for 2016 in our last Disney Springs photo report, including the Pluto reindeer ear hat seen above, so go check that out if you haven’t.

The continued growth in the popularity of some of the older films in the Disney library is showcased this year, with Bambi taking center stage with an entire ceramic kitchen collection.

Even friend Owl is in on the fun. He is $16.99.

The Thumper gravy boat is $26.99.

Bambi and Flower retail at $19.99 each.

Remember those plush characters on the tree in some of the merchandise? Well, Disney made those plush as ornaments you can buy. They feel a bit pricey at $16.99 each, but it is a rather fun assembly of characters, including Meeko from Pocahontas above.

The rather cute collection includes Chip, Dale, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Flower, Thumper, Bambi, Meeko, Robin Hood, Olaf, Sven, and the three bear brothers from Brave.

This tin Countdown to Christmas sign is pretty neat as well.

VIDEO: “Rogue One Kids” Save The Day With Some Help From Duracell

Last year we found out that The Energizer Bunny was no longer using the power of The Force, or Energizer Batteries, to defeat Darth Vader. It turned out that Duracell was now the official battery charging up light sabers for the franchise in this fun commercial showcasing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.  This year, to celebrate the release of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”, Duracell returns by helping a group of young rebels spread cheer to a friend as “The Rebels Save Christmas”. Check it out!

One of the coolest items has to be the Imperial Comlink Bluetooth Communicator. A comlink is a standard handheld communication device used by the Empire. You might recall seeing it used in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope when Luke Skywalker communicates from the trash compactor with C-3PO.

This Bluetooth enabled device allows you to take calls and play music when connected to your smart device. It’s rechargeable and comes with a belt clip.

Arriving in mid-December, guests will find a new remote controlled Mouse Droid. You may also recall seeing this droid in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope when Chewbacca roars at one while on the Death Star. This remote control droid makes sounds and includes rechargeable batteries.
