Halloween Collectibles From World of Disney

World of Disney in Disney Springs had the most amazing Halloween clothing, decor, and collectibles this year. Here are a few of my favorites. This adorable wreath is made of felt Mickey and Minnie pumpkins and has a dangling spider to make it z little spooky.

There were Mickey jack-o-lantern pillows and candy bowls. A candy covered apron had a pocket that read "If you've got it, Haunt It". Vampire Mickey carried a stack of pumpkins on a plaid bordered kitchen towel and candles sported sweet little ghosts in Mickey ears.

Plaid also appeared on these charming pumpkin Mickey ears as well as the Loungefly mini backpack covered in Disney Halloween emblems. 

This year's Crocs were also plaid and went perfectly with these Halloween treat Jibbitz. 

Finally, the pins were just too fantastic:

• Grogu collecting candy
• A castle made of pumpkins
• Witchy Rocket Raccoon riding Groot like a broomstick 
• A very sparkly Minnie and Mickey in their Halloween finery
• Goofy, Donald, Mickey, and Minnie ghosts
• Chip and Dale in pumpkins 
• Grumpy Donald with a stack of jack-o-lanterns
• Mickey with a stack of jack-o-lanterns
• Kitty Cat Minnie and Figaro
• Scarecrow Goofy
• And pumpkin Mickey and Minnie with plaid ears

Everything was so fun and perfect for Halloween that it was hard to decide which ones to take home. What would you pick for Halloween?

Grogu Is Coming To The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Macy's/Funko/Lucasfilm

One of my favorite traditions is spending Thanksgiving morning watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I love all of the Broadway performances, the bands, the floats, and especially the balloons.

Funko

Every year, Macy's adds a few new balloons to their lineup alongside favorites from previous years. This year, they're adding a new Star Wars balloon: the adorable Grogu from The Mandalorian as he appears as a Funko collectible. And he's chasing after the control knob! So cute!

Funko

To celebrate, Funko has created POPVinyl figure that match the new balloon. The new Grogu figures and several t-shirt and hoodie designs will be available from Funko.com and at Macy's flagship store in New York this November.

Funko

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade airs this November 25 at 9 AM Eastern Time.

Photo of the Week

It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus! There's an amazing collection of Hocus Pocus merchandise at World of Disney in Disney Springs. I especially liked the Crocs and Binx pitchers.

Hocus Pocus Shirts For Halloween

Hocus Pocus may be my favorite Halloween movie. I love the Sanderson sisters and their evil, yet ridiculous, ways. If you too love those wily, wicked witches, why not consider one of these awesome shirts from shopDisney.com. The sisters put a spell on you with this heathered grey t-shirt. 

More of a Thackery Binx fan? Then how about this "It's just a bunch of hocus pocus" shirt featuring the clever kitty and Winifred's beloved booooook.

Maybe you'd like to proclaim your rebellious side with this "I lit the black flame candle" shirt.

Perhaps you're more playful and prefer this "Amuck Amuck Amuck" t-shirt. I must say, it's a favorite quote in our house.

And finally, my favorite shirt from this year's collection. This sweatshirt, with its delightful quote from Winifred, is absolutely fantastic. All of these shirts are available online from shopDisney.com, along with a few clever Hocus Pocus costumes and wigs.

It's nearly spooky season, so it's time for Halloween clothing and collectibles to start creeping their way into Disney Parks. These delightful candy-inspired designs will be available at Disneyland, Disney World, and shopDisney.com. Show your devotion to your favorite park with a Disneyland or Walt Disney World spirit jersey. 

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy sport their Halloween costumes behind a giant Mickey jack-o-lantern on this shirt.

Mickey, Pluto, Donald, and Goofy are a bit retro and fun on this silly shirt. 

Show off your love of candy corn on this reversible sequin shirt.

These candy swirl Minnie ears remind me of the giant lollipops found in the parks.

If a candy corn witch hat is more your style, try these adorable Minnie ears.

This mini backpack from Loungefly is covered in spooky sweet treats.

If you'd prefer something a bit retro, try these pumpkin and candy bedecked masks.

This sweetly spooky Mickey Vampire makes one fantastic plush. And he's featured on a pullover sweater, too.

Disney has created a frightfully fun new collection inspired by the Haunted Mansion. The ghoulish gear, which was introduced as part of the Halfway To Halloween fun, feature a delightful all-over print of the spooky wallpaper design. These Minnie Mouse ears have a large velvet bow and a small Haunted Mansion logo.

The ball cap features an embroidered "Ghost Host" logo with a coffin in the "O".

The spirit jersey features "Haunted Mansion" printed on the front and either "Disneyland Resort" or "Walt Disney World" on the back.

Loungefly has also created some fun new bags, perfect for the ghost host on the go. First up is a backpack inspired by the maid costume worn by cast members.

This cross-body bag was inspired by the Doom Buggies. It features Phineas, Ezra, and Gus, everyone's favorite Hitchhiking Ghosts.

Finally, this card case features a delightful interpretation of the Haunted Mansion logo. All of these items should be available in the Parks (fingers crossed they'll be open again before too long!) and from shopDisney later this year.
