New Winnie the Pooh & Friends Corduroy-Effect Plushes Arrive at Disney Springs

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

You don’t have to travel all the way to the Hundred Acre Wood to find Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends, as this adorable new set of plush has arrived at Disney Springs. All four have a homey, snuggly, corduroy-effect, and you’ll want to collect them all!

Winnie the Pooh

Let’s start with Winnie the Pooh himself! He’s the cutest of the gang, with his adorable red t-shirt and tiny, pleased smile.

Eeyore

He may be gloomy but he sure is adorable! It’s Eeyore, with his spiky hair and big, floppy ears. The cutest thing about this Eeyore plush is that his tail is affixed with Velcro. It is still attached to the plush by a blue ribbon to avoid being a choking hazard… you won’t lose this tail as much as Eeyore himself does!

Piglet

Last, but definitely not least, is Piglet. The smallest of the gang, but with the biggest smile.

New Yoda Big Feet Plush Arrives at the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

You can travel to galaxies far, far away, and still never find plushes like the ones in the Magic Kingdom! 

In recent months we have seen an abundance of merchandise themed to the adorable Baby Yoda from “The Mandalorian”, so it is nice to see some representation for “old” Yoda, the original Jedi Master himself.

This grinning, wrinkly old plush is unmistakably Yoda, with his big ears and brown robes.

This plush costs $26.99.

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Hollywood Studios

Target just dropped a teaser video of the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise coming to stores.

In the corner of the video, we see a seal of the outline of Batuu, while a case opens that reveals what could be a Captain Cardinal figurine. While this teaser video doesn’t include a date when the merchandise will be available, it is captioned as “landing soon.”

Recently, Disney and Target have developed close ties, with Disney Stores opening at 25 Target stores across the United States last year. Target was also announced to be among the retail offerings at Flamingo Crossings Town Center at the western entrance to Walt Disney World.
