Hold on to your doombuggies! Things are about to get real REAL up in Disneyland Resort and Disney World!
That’s because tomorrow, Tuesday, October 15th, Disney is re-releasing one of the most highly-coveted limited edition tiki mugs OF. ALL. TIME… The Hatbox Ghost!!!
We first saw the Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mug back in 2018 when both Disney World and Disneyland released two unique versions. And now, they’re back with a bit of a different color scheme.
Opposite from last year, this year Disneyland’s Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mug will feature Hatbox Ghost’s “head inside his handy hat box.” And Disney World’s mug features an “empty hat box with his head placed safely on his shoulders.”
We can’t believe they’ve been gone for a whole year now and are finally COMING BACK!!! Second chances, people! Of course, if you have any recollection of how quickly these things sold out last year, you’ll want to start figuring out your best Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mug snaggin’ game plan RIGHT NOW!!!
Read about last’s years Hatbox Ghost tiki mug HERE!
The Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mugs will be on sale tomorrow at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort and at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at The Disneyland Hotel.
And if that wasn’t exciting enough, new this year, guests will be able to pick up a special Hatbox Ghost Ornament and Limited Edition Hatbox Ghost Pin that will be sold at BouTiki at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort beginning at 9 AM ET and Disney’s Fantasia Shop at the Disneyland Hotel beginning at 7 AM PST on October 15th!
So know that you know what’s at stake, it’s time to start formulating your strategy! Here are some important details you’ll need to know to get started!
