    The Day of the Dead – or Día de los Muertos in Spanish – is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and by people of Mexican ancestry living in other places, especially the United States. And now, Disney has released Day of the Dead-Inspired Merchandise just in time to celebrate the occasion!

    Although Día de los Muertos isn’t celebrated until November, Disney Parks will begin the celebration month with a new collection that reflects the magic and color of this amazing tradition.

    This new Disney Parks collection, now available across both Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California, includes a variety of festive clothing and iconic Día de los Muertos-inspired ears. Everything is also available on ShopDisney.com. Take a look below!

    The new all-cotton T-shirt featured in the collection depicts distressed screen art of flowers and a calavera, along with musical notes. A scoop neckline and shirttail hem make it comfy and stylish.

    You can crown your Dia de los Muertos attire with the new festive Minnie Mouse Ear Headband. Colorful flowers span the top with a purple die cut bow that accents the sugar skull and floral pattern ears. Hermosas!

    An ear hat is also available as part of this collection featuring a sugar skull screen art with embroidered details, as well as a top hat with a purple sating band and 3D felt roses. 

    Disney Parks is celebrating the start of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15) highlighting the new, colorful line of Disney Parks Día de los Muertos Collection.

    With bold and vibrant Cempasúchil flores, an icon of these festivities, colorful designs that also include a bow in papel picado, a typical Mexican art and paper craft that is cut into intricate and beautiful designs, these ears are quickly becoming a fan favorite item.

    Day of the Dead combines the ancient Aztec custom of celebrating ancestors with All Souls’ Day, a holiday that Spanish invaders brought to Mexico starting in the early 1500s.

    The holiday which is celebrated on November 1 and 2, is like a family reunion—except dead ancestors are the guests of honor. Day of the Dead is a joyful time that helps people remember the deceased and celebrate their memory.

    No matter when and how you celebrate Día de los Muertos, these highly anticipated ears are now available at Walt Disney World retail locations, including the México pavilion at Epcot, where guests can get additional Día de los Muertos inspired merchandise.
