For those looking for a way to outfit their home with all of their favorite Disney characters, the new Disney Home store is the perfect place to go. With everything from Mikey Mouse-branded pillows to Beauty and the Beast-inspired dishes, the store is the ultimate shopping destination for Disney fans.
The new Disney Home store is a newly opened retail outlet located in Disneyland's Downtown Disney District. Like any other homeware store, the shop is stocked with everything from kitchen tools to bed linens. The difference is that everything in the Disney Home store is branded with beloved cartoon characters.
For those who can't make it to California to shop the nostalgia-inducing collection, much of the merchandise is available online, as well as at other Disney parks.
