Merchandise Update: Fun, Quirky, Retro T-Shirts at Disney Parks

Here at Zannaland, I’ve loved tracking fun Disney Merchandise from the start. Whether it’s Disney Dooney & Bourke purses, Duffy the Disney Bear, Ear Hats, Minnie Ear Headbands, Disney antenna toppers, or unique t-shirt designs, I’ve loved sharing it all! I was recently at Downtown Disney West Side and Marketplace and realized it had been a while since I’d done a t-shirt update. I saw some fun shirts at D-Street and World of Disney and thought I’d share them here.

Some of these designs have been out for a while but I wanted to post them anyway as they showcase the really cool retro/vintage designs that have been sweeping twitter as of late. It’s been great to follow along the designers as their work shows up in the parks. While some shirts may appeal to a select group of Disney history buffs, thankfully, Disney is taking a chance on these cool designs that poke fun at their past or even present.

About Suzannah Otis

A child of the 80's, Zanna climbed trees and roller-skated till the streetlights came on. She sipped her her first iced coffee at age 10 and never looked back. Growing up outside of Boston, all of these things shaped her life, as did the original EPCOT Center, which brought her where she is today.

Zanna is the mother of 2 adult humans, a 13-year old (also human), and 6 (yes, 6) cats. She is also the wife to one husband, who lovingly puts up with all of the above. Zanna tries to find that one little spark in everything, and thanks you very much for taking the time to read this.

    Love the ladies style 1970s shirts! Can’t quite tell from the pictures… is the printing/logo fuzzy or screen-printed?

       the lettering is screen-printed, not fuzzy on those. 🙂

       To clarify, it’s almost like puffy-paint, but not fuzzy. 😀

    I adore those retro-style t-shirts! I’m seriously hoping for something with est 1982 when we visit later this year. My husband has a really cool Epcot Center shirt that I picked up on eBay, although I wish I’d kept it for myself!

       edit: Just realized the shirts that said Walt Disney World on them, DUH! but are these in Downtown Disney? or somewhere else within the parks?

      Thanks!
