Disney-fy the School Year with Must-Have Merch  

From the Disney Parks Blog and written by: The Editors

The summer days are winding down and the Back-to-School season is approaching. What’s that you say? You’re not ready yet? Well, no worries, we got you covered!

There’s no better way to gear up for a new academic year than with a touch of Disney magic. Whether they’re starting kindergarten (aww) or are off to college (gasp), we’ve got a delightful array of products that blend practicality with personal style for students of all ages.

Preschool-Middle School

Mickey Mouse blue-light glasses; "The Little Mermaid" blue-light glasses

Let’s start with the essentials. A solid backpack is a must-have, and we’ve got lots to choose from! Some of my personal faves are this Disney Princess Castle Backpack and Nap Mat Bundle from Pottery Barn, perfect for the mini Sleeping Beauty in your life, and this Spider-Man Backpack from Disney Store, which is as dynamic as the webslinger himself, featuring zipper pulls and adaptable straps. It’s also got a tech sleeve, so why not throw in a pair of these blue light glasses from Sun-Staches, available in Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse patterns. There are also options for adults, including this “The Little Mermaid” design from Pan-Oceanic that makes life the bubbles.

Star Wars Grogu Bento Box; Lightning McQueen stainless steel water bottle

Now we’ve got to fill that backpack up! Enjoy this lunch, you will. Padawans will love this Star Wars Grogu Bento Box by Yoobi, and to stay hydrated they’ll need one of these Stainless Steel Water Bottles from Disney Store that comes in a variety of styles featuring your favorite characters (I’ll be picking up the “Cars” version myself).

Frozen Zip-Up Craft Kit; Star Wars Gel Pens; Marvel Notebooks

If your kid is anything like me, the right stationery can really spark creativity. This adorable “Frozen” Zip-Up Kit by Disney Store includes essentials like a glue stick, eraser, and scissors, but also has markers, colored pencils, and a notepad —basically everything you need to bring out their inner artist. There’s also this pack of Star Wars Gel Pens and Marvel Notebooks, both by Yoobi, that put a twist on traditional school supplies. Appropriate for fans of all ages.

Disney/Pixar Inside Out 2: Go to Sleep, Anxiety!; National Geographic Kids Almanac 2025

For some, a new school year can be intimidating. A good book can help calm those jitters, so I’m recommending “Disney/Pixar Inside Out 2: Go to Sleep, Anxiety!” from Disney Press that could help little ones work through some of their big feelings. For those who are interested in exploring the world outside of the classroom, the “National Geographic Kids Almanac 2025” includes information on new species discoveries, cutting-edge nature and space facts, and even some jokes designed to make learning fun.

High School and Beyond 

Ohana Short Sleeve Tee; Mickey Mouse socks; Donald Duck socks; Darth Maul phone case

Want to show off your fandom this fall? This subtle and sweet Ohana Short Sleeve Tee (coming soon!) pairs nicely with these vintage style socks that allow you to rep Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck (I’ll be sporting both). All are available from Stance. You can also show off your personal style with a variety of phone cases, like this Darth Maul one from OtterBox.

Minnie Mouse Daisy All-Over Print Loungefly backpack; Donald Duck Loungefly Backpack; Stitch Experiment 626 Loungefly backpack; Miles Morales Spider-Man Loungefly backpack
Alice in Wonderland Planner; "Up" 15th Anniversary Adventure Book Journal by Loungefly; Lessons Learned and Cherished: The Teacher Who Changed My Life
Marvel Fitness Deck: Be the Hero of Your Exercise Adventure cards; Marvel Hulk Not Smash: Practice Mindfulness the Mighty Marvel Way; Infinity Stones Stainless Steel Canteen by Corkcicle
Disney Princess Crunch Pak; Marvel Crunchy Super Hero Sprinkle Mini Cookie Snack Packs; Toy Story Outer Pizza Planet and Toy Story Interstellar Cheddar flavored Space Balls

I hope the school year is full of joy! Wishing you all the best.
