Walt Disney World Releases First Halloween Merchandise in June

The early Witch Minnie collectible signals Disney is front-loading seasonal retail to extend selling windows and build momentum for fall ticketed events.

Overview

  • A Disney Signature Collectibles Witch Minnie figure was spotted for sale at Riverside Depot in Disney’s Animal Kingdom on Thursday, June 18, 2026, carrying a $39.99 price tag.
  • The June release continues a multi-year trend of Walt Disney World moving holiday merchandise earlier so occasional visitors and collectors have more chances to buy limited items.
  • Collectors and fan sites are treating this first item as an unofficial start to the Halloween rollout and expect additional themed apparel, décor, and collectibles to follow.
  • Front-loading merchandise gives Disney more time to sell event-related products and can prompt earlier trip planning for Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party because sought-after items often sell out.
  • If past years are a guide, guests should watch for wider Halloween assortments to appear across resort stores over the coming weeks as Disney builds toward its fall offerings.
