Walt Disney Imagineering merchandise is heading back to Central Florida for a single Sunday this fall. D23 has announced a second Mickey’s of Glendale pop-up at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and this time the event is open to General Members as well as Gold Members. Here is a clear breakdown of the dates, prices, shopping windows, and entry rules.
What Mickey’s of Glendale Is
Mickey’s of Glendale is the Walt Disney Imagineering campus store, named for its original home in Glendale, California. Its shelves normally carry merchandise made for the people who design and build Disney parks, which is why pop-ups outside that campus draw attention from collectors. Items typically include WDI-branded apparel, pins, and accessories.
D23 describes the Florida event as “a wondrous selection of Walt Disney Imagineering merchandise” for Members shopping for themselves, friends, or family. The store last visited the resort in April 2025 for a Gold Member event.
Event Details at a Glance
The pop-up takes place on Sunday, November 15, 2026, in the Coronado Ballroom, which is part of the convention center at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Shopping runs from 9:00am until 5:00pm.
| Date | Sunday, November 15, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Location | Coronado Ballroom, Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort |
| Shopping hours | 9:00am to 5:00pm |
| Ticket on-sale | Friday, October 23, at 1:00pm Eastern (10:00am Pacific) |
| Who can attend | D23 Gold Members and D23 General Members |
| Where to buy | D23 |
Ticket Prices and How Booking Works
Pricing depends on membership tier, and a limited number of tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
| Membership Tier | Price Per Ticket | Processing Fee | Two Tickets Before Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Member | $15 | $3 | $30 |
| General Member | $25 | $3 | $50 |
Booking Rules to Keep in Mind
- Each Member can book one hour-long shopping window for themselves and one guest.
- Every attendee, including the Member, needs an individual ticket.
- If a name shows up under more than one time slot, only the first booking counts.
- Each ticket must list a legal first and last name from the time of purchase.
The Eight Shopping Windows
The day is divided into eight one-hour blocks. Ticket holders may line up no earlier than 30 minutes before their window begins, and D23 will not admit anyone outside their confirmed time.
| Window | Time |
|---|---|
| 1 | 9:00am to 10:00am |
| 2 | 10:00am to 11:00am |
| 3 | 11:00am to 12:00pm |
| 4 | 12:00pm to 1:00pm |
| 5 | 1:00pm to 2:00pm |
| 6 | 2:00pm to 3:00pm |
| 7 | 3:00pm to 4:00pm |
| 8 | 4:00pm to 5:00pm |
A full hour inside the store doubles the 30-minute windows used in April 2025. That should leave more room to browse the racks rather than rushing through them.
What to Bring to Check-In
D23 has outlined several requirements for entry. Plan ahead so nothing slows you down at the door.
- A valid D23 Membership card, either physical or digital in the D23 App.
- Your event ticket.
- A government-issued photo ID that matches the name on the ticket, which may be requested for Members and guests over 18.
- A parent or legal guardian with their own ticket for any guest under 18.
Policies Worth Reading Before You Buy
Tickets cannot be transferred, since each one is tied to a legal name. The Member must attend in person for their guest to be admitted. D23 prohibits unauthorized video or audio recording at the event, and all sales are final with no cancellations or refunds for any reason.
How This Compares to the April 2025 Pop-Up
The biggest change is who can shop. The earlier event admitted only Gold Members, while this one adds General Members at a higher ticket price. The shopping windows are also longer.
| Feature | April 2025 | November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible Members | Gold Members only | Gold and General Members |
| Ticket price | $15 | $15 for Gold, $25 for General |
| Shopping window length | 30 minutes | 60 minutes |
| Welcome gifts | Mystery pin from the D23 vault and a D23 shopping bag | Not mentioned in the current listing |
Attendees in 2025 received a randomly selected mystery pin and a shopping bag. D23’s current listing does not mention a giveaway, so it is best not to count on one unless D23 confirms it.
Venue Notes for Coronado Springs
The Coronado Ballroom sits inside the Coronado Springs Convention Center, which Disney is refurbishing in phases through late September 2027. Crews handle most of that work overnight, one space at a time, so the resort can continue hosting events like this one while the updates move forward.
Final Thoughts
This pop-up offers D23 Members a chance to browse Imagineering merchandise without traveling to California, and the expanded eligibility and longer windows make it more accessible than the April 2
