There’s a ton of scarily excellent Halloween merchandise from Disney, nevertheless it’s not being bought at Walt Disney World or Disneyland. As an alternative, there’s a HUGE Halloween Disney Store on Amazon, most of which is being bought at considerably decrease costs than what you’ll discover within the parks! (Up to date October 4, 2024.)
I’ve gotta admit that I don’t love a whole lot of the Halloween merchandise within the parks. For one factor, every thing is simply stupidly costly. I gained’t pay full value for high-quality shirts from mall manufacturers or designers, so I’m definitely not about to drop $40 on a low-quality shirt at Walt Disney World.
It’s not simply that the in-park attire provides Walmart high quality at Ralph Lauren costs. A lot of it’s also ugly. I swear that about half the time I choose up a shirt that appears good at first blush, nearer inspection reveals that the designers acquired carried away and added one graphic too many. Only a few issues are easy or understated–most is dialed as much as 11.
Principally, a lot Walt Disney World merchandise has comparable stylistic sensibilities of ugly Christmas sweaters, however minus the attraction and self-awareness. There’s only a lot occurring, with chaotic seems that don’t at all times stick the touchdown. However please don’t take my clothes critiques severely. When you’ve seen images of me, I’m not precisely a fashionista. I normally costume like somebody in determined want of the assistance from What To not Put on.
Anyway, most of these things beneath should not being bought on shopDisney.com, within the parks at Walt Disney World, or anyplace else. Disney and Amazon have been partnering on increasingly, from the “Hey Disney!” Alexa voice assistant in resort rooms to Amazon being the largest sponsor of D23 Expo.
In relation to these Halloween gadgets, we obtain a small fee out of your purchases, so shopping for via these hyperlinks helps assist the positioning. Nonetheless, neither the worth you pay nor our suggestions are impacted by that. You possibly can inform I’m being honest with these picks based mostly on the entire absence of Nightmare Earlier than Christmas merchandise, Spirit Jerseys, and different stuff I hate.
Anyway, let’s begin with the crowd-pleaser that ought to go on EVERY LAWN IN AMERICA this Halloween…
Haunted Mansion Hitchhiking Ghosts Inflatable Garden Decor – That is actually the best Halloween inflatable scene that I’ve ever seen. It’s inferior to the big skeleton from Residence Depot, nevertheless it’s up there!
Sadly, I’ve been “banned” from shopping for extra inflatables for some time now after one fateful post-Christmas clearance procuring spree at Goal. So please get pleasure from these on my behalf, and permit me to reside vicariously via your yards!
At 44% off forward of Amazon Massive Deal Days (October 8-9, 2024), you’ll be able to’t afford not to purchase this!
Child Yoda Costume – Holy cow that is cute, and at solely $11.99 (60% off) as a part of a pre-Amazon Massive Deal Days sale, it’s an absolute steal. Simply remember that it seems to be a Lightning Deal, which means it might promote out inside minutes, hours, days, and so on.
Not almost as cute, however there’s additionally a matching Mando costume that’s 37% off as a part of the identical Lightning Deal. Ditto this Storm Trooper for 75% off–the standard is suspect, however you can not beat the worth!
Sally Canine Costume – I do know I stated nothing from Nightmare Earlier than Christmas, however that is simply too cute and ridiculous to not share. It’s additionally a part of the Lightning Lane on costumes, which apparently applies to folks and pets.
Not nearly as good of a deal, however this Toy Story Alien Canine Costume can be hilarious and absurd (I really used to have a really comparable costume!).

Mickey’s Halloween Trick or Deal with Sweet Co. T-Shirt – For ages, we bought shirts yearly for each Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Celebration. The final time I purchased one at both occasion was 4 years in the past at MVMCP. Since then, they’ve all both been too costly or too busy.
I like that this shirt has an elaborate design however doesn’t have an excessive amount of occurring. (There are additionally comparable kinds for Daisy and Minnie Mouse.) To me, this additionally evokes Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration with out particularly mentioning it. (I additionally like that it doesn’t have a yr. It’s “cool” to put on celebration shirts from a decade in the past as soon as they’ve turn into retro, however ~4 years in the past simply kinda feels drained. Sorry, I don’t make the foundations!)
Sanderson Sisters Hocus Pocus Shirts – In my meaningless opinion, the overwhelming majority of Hocus Pocus shirts that Walt Disney World sells within the parks are method excessive. This designer is the precise reverse of that, with a bunch of tasteful and restrained designs.
This retro ‘live performance poster’ look is essentially the most overt of the kinds, and it’s additionally actually intelligent. I additionally just like the Sanderson Witch Museum shirt within the high row.
Mickey and Pals Halloween Retro T-Shirt – All the above additionally applies right here, and this design is arguably even higher. It options the Sensational Six all with retro character fashions, which I like, together with nice costumes. (The draw back is that it’s not on sale.)
There’s loads occurring right here, nevertheless it’s all in a single graphic that’s laid out effectively and appears nice. This may actually be good if it stated “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration” beneath the characters in retro ‘monster’ font, however I’m fairly happy with this shirt as-is.

This or the hooded sweatshirt model (which is on sale and is cheaper in consequence) is the one to get in case you’re doing Oogie Boogie Bash–it will get chilly in California at evening this time of yr! For Floridians (or these carrying this on Walt Disney World journeys), it’s additionally obtainable as a t-shirt. For an ‘in-between’ choice, there’s this raglan baseball tee. When you’re extra of a Minnie individual, there’s this sweatshirt that includes Minnie Mouse as a flying witch.
Loungefly Mick-O-Lantern – Clearly, this isn’t for me and I’ve been vital of previous Loungefly merchandise. Nonetheless, I additionally respect intelligent merchandise after I see them, and this undoubtedly suits the invoice. Kudos to the design workforce on this one.
Tremendous cool, nice critiques, and handsome user-submitted images. Good for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration…or any Halloween occasion! This Mickey Pumpkin Loungefly bag is even cheaper–though not fairly as cool (IMO).
There are literally a number of Loungefly Disney Halloween backpacks within the $60 to $70 vary. Completely totally different vacation, however there’s additionally this cute gingerbread-scented vacation backpack for below $55!
5-Minute Halloween Tales – Twelve not-so-scary tales that include a little bit of suspense however in the end have blissful endings. We have now come to essentially respect books like this. Megatron doesn’t fairly have the eye span for an extended story, so we learn the identical factor time and again…and once more. (Her favourite factor to do with books, truthfully, is throw them. The lighter ones are higher for that.)

Haunted Mansion Image E-book – One other must-own with stunning illustrations. That is Megatron’s absolute favourite e-book–I’m not even kidding. It’s one of many few she doesn’t throw. Every time she sees it, she reaches for it and shakes it up and down, I assume signaling she desires us to learn it. My voice is commonly hoarse from doing the diabolical snort (her favourite half) a lot. Each. Single. Day. The one different e-book that comes shut when it comes to reputation is The Monster on the Finish of This E-book. (That one additionally strains my voice–being Grover isn’t straightforward!)
The Haunted Mansion: Imagineering a Disney Traditional
Disney Mickey Mouse Dracula – This e-book is bonkers–the much less stepping into, the higher.

Haunted Mansion: Name of The Spirits Board Recreation – I’m a complete sucker for tacky and cheeky board video games, in addition to Walt Disney World board video games. That is the good intersection of these pursuits. And it’s 32% off forward of Amazon Massive Deal Days!
It’s a reasonably strategic recreation that’s straightforward sufficient for teenagers but additionally deep sufficient for adults.
