Are you tired of seeing the same old Disney characters everywhere you turn? Well, prepare to be delighted! Walt Disney World has just released a new tumbler that celebrates the lesser-known gems of Disney animation, and it’s a treasure trove for fans craving something unique. But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just any tumbler—it’s a 40oz stainless steel masterpiece priced at $44.99, featuring an all-over design that feels like you’ve stepped into a Disney animator’s sketchbook. The hand-drawn style blends half-sketches with vibrant, brushstroke-like colors, creating a visually stunning contrast that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
And this is the part most people miss: While you’ll spot familiar faces like Sorcerer Mickey Mouse, Bambi, and Snow White, the real stars are the deep-cut characters that even die-hard fans might struggle to name. Take Johnny Appleseed, for instance, from the 1948 musical short Melody Time—a character so niche, he’s practically a Disney insider secret. Or Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet, the charming duo from the 1946 short Make Mine Music, which, controversially, remains the only Disney animated feature film absent from Disney+. Is this an oversight, or a deliberate move to keep some classics exclusive? Let’s discuss in the comments!
Another hidden gem is Amos the mouse from The Liberty Story, a 1957 short from the Disneyland TV series. These characters aren’t just obscure—they’re a love letter to Disney’s rich history, and their inclusion on this tumbler feels like a celebration of the unsung heroes of animation. The tumbler itself is practical too, with a bright blue twist-off lid, matching carrying handle, and built-in straw, making it perfect for your next park adventure.
We spotted this beauty at Calypso Trading Post in the Caribbean Beach Resort, but given its universal appeal, it’s likely to pop up at other Walt Disney World locations soon. But here’s the real question: In a world dominated by Mickey and Minnie, does this tumbler signal a shift toward celebrating Disney’s lesser-known icons? Or is it just a one-off tribute? Share your thoughts below!
If you’re on the hunt for a Disney tumbler that stands out from the crowd, this one’s a must-see. And while you’re at it, stay in the loop with the latest Disney Parks news by following WDW News Today on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Trust us—you won’t want to miss what’s coming next!
