The 50th merchandise is truly for the Disney fan in us all.”

Debuting throughout October and November, the collections offer something for everyone, from fun and creative celebration-themed items to an entire line of products inspired by Cinderella Castle. There are also throwback and retro-themed pieces and even a shimmering collection of fashion and accessories inspired by the EARidescent decor that will be a hallmark of the celebration.
