Mickey’s of Glendale Reveals Final D23 2026 Collections

There’s a Mai Tai glass that says “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” on it. The final Mickey’s of Glendale merchandise reveals for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2026 are here — two collections plus a preview of exclusive event pins.

The Mickey’s of Glendale D23 collections completing the lineup are the Walt Disney Imagineering Pavilion Collection and the Horizons Collection.

Here’s what’s in each and how to actually get into the store.

Quick Summary

• Two final collections: the WDI Pavilion Collection and the Horizons Collection
• The Pavilion Collection draws on the 1964 New York World’s Fair and early Tomorrowland
• A Mai Tai glass features “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow”
• The Horizons Collection includes a Sorcerer Mickey tee, mug, and postcard set
• New D23-exclusive pins release Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
• Mickey’s of Glendale runs on virtual queue with boarding groups at 6am and 1pm PT

Walt Disney Imagineering Pavilion Collection

Designed specifically for the Imagineering: Horizons pavilion on the D23 show floor, this collection draws inspiration from Imagineering’s past:

• The design language of the 1964 New York World’s Fair
• Early Tomorrowland architecture and graphics
• Classic attractions including the Carousel of Progress

Items include:

• A T-shirt featuring Imagineering Horizons branding and illustrated Disney parks landmarks on the back
• A two-tone cream and blue baseball cap with Imagineering Horizons embroidery and Walt Disney Imagineering lettering on the back strap
• A Mai Tai glass featuring the Imagineering Horizons pavilion design and the phrase “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow”
• A magnet
• Collectible pins

The 1964 World’s Fair Reference Is the Whole Point

This collection is aimed squarely at people who know why 1964 matters, and it’s worth explaining if you don’t.

Walt Disney developed four attractions for the 1964 New York World’s Fair: it’s a small world, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Ford’s Magic Skyway, and the Carousel of Progress. All four were essentially prototypes — Disney used someone else’s money and someone else’s venue to test Audio-Animatronics and ride systems at scale.

Three of those attractions came home to Disney parks afterward. The Fair is arguably where modern Imagineering was proven.

“There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” is the Sherman Brothers song written for the Carousel of Progress, and it remains one of the most beloved pieces of music Disney has produced.

Putting that lyric on a Mai Tai glass, sold at an Imagineering pavilion subtitled “A Carousel of Progress,” is a very deliberate stack of references.

Horizons Collection

A second collection — simply titled the Horizons Collection — also debuts at D23 2026.

Items include:

• A navy T-shirt featuring Sorcerer Mickey against a backdrop of Disney parks, with Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase branding
• A mug
• A postcard set

The postcard set is the sleeper item. Postcards are cheap, they pack flat, and they’re the easiest thing to actually use from a merchandise collection — which makes them a better souvenir than a fifth t-shirt for a lot of people.

Exclusive D23 Pins

The Mickey’s of Glendale Pin Store will release new D23-exclusive pins throughout the event — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Daily pin drops mean returning each day if you’re collecting. That’s a deliberate mechanic to drive repeat visits to a store that already runs on virtual queue.

How to Get In

Mickey’s of Glendale operates via virtual queue at D23.

Boarding groups are available from 6am PT and 1pm PT each event day via the Disney D23 or Disneyland Resort app.

The store is cashless.

Two Boarding Windows Is Better Than One

Note that detail carefully — 6am PT and 1pm PT. Two chances per day, not one.

That’s a meaningful improvement over a single-drop system. If you miss the 6am window, you get another shot at 1pm.

Practical advice:

• Set alarms for both times, every day you’re attending
• Have the app open and logged in before the window opens
• 6am PT is early. If you’re staying in Anaheim and attending all three days, that’s three 6am alarms
• Bring a card. Cashless only
• The Pin Store is a separate queue from the main store

The Complete Mickey’s of Glendale Lineup

These are the final Mickey’s of Glendale collection reveals ahead of D23. Previously announced collections include:

• The Walt Disney Imagineering Color Block Collection
• The Muppets Studio Signature Collection
• The Imagineer That! Collection — inspired by Tom Morrow 2.0, headlined by a customizable Lug bag
• The Disney .YNSD brand debut — the Imagineer-created lifestyle label with photochromic inks

That’s six distinct collections from a single store. Mickey’s of Glendale is doing more at this D23 than at any previous event, which raises the stakes considerably on getting a boarding group.

Prioritize before you’re in the store. With six collections and limited time inside, decide what you want first. The Lug bag from Imagineer That! and the .YNSD photochromic pieces are the items most likely to sell through.

The Bottom Line

The Mickey’s of Glendale D23 collections close out with the Walt Disney Imagineering Pavilion Collection — drawing on the 1964 World’s Fair, early Tomorrowland, and the Carousel of Progress, including a “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” Mai Tai glass — and the Horizons Collection with a Sorcerer Mickey tee, mug, and postcard set.

New D23-exclusive pins drop Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Boarding groups open at 6am and 1pm PT daily through the Disney D23 or Disneyland Resort app. Set both alarms, bring a card, and know your priorities before you get inside.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
