Hold on to your doombuggies! Things are about to get real REAL up in Disneyland Resort and Disney World!

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar

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.”
