On the bag is an embroidered patch that showcases many of your favorite residents of Duckburg.

One of my personal favorites has to be the Giselle doll from Enchanted.
There’s also an awesome Merida doll from Brave that comes with fun accessories including her bow and arrow set.
Or you can pay tribute to the princesses in a more subtle way with this Tiana headband set from Color Me Courtney. Just check out the sunny orange print and pearl studded sateen scrunch. We think this set perfectly encapsulates the Tiana’s whimsical adventure down by the bayou!
Is it time for tea? The answer is YES! with a purse celebrating this classic theme park attraction.
You can also bring the delight of Dumbo into your home or office with this adorable Dumbo Planter. It draws its inspiration from the Dumbo The Flying Elephant attraction at the Disney theme parks.
Another collection that is sure to be popular at D23 is the Global Ear Headbands. These beauties represent some of the Disney Parks around the world. This includes Disneyland Shanghai and Hong Kong resorts

The jewelry in this collection is pretty awesome. It features unique detailing and a sharp metallic sheen.

This set is modeled after the lightsabers used by Obi-Wani. It also comes in a wooden box that plays sound from Obi-Wans first appearance in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Best of all, when you take your lightsabers to Galaxy’s Edge it will illuminate blue when connected to a Legacy Lightsaber Blade or Savi’s Workshop blade.

Rounding out the Star Warscollection is this retro baseball cap that features images of the Star Wars action figures you may have had as a kid.
