My fiancée and I were discussing Valentine’s Day the other night. I learned she really loves the holiday, which was a signal to me that I better find the perfect gift this year (no pressure, of course). To help others like me, here are a few gift ideas from Disney Parks.
There are a handful of items that were specifically developed for Valentine’s Day this year. The plush and dolls team created two 9-inch plush which, include Mickey Mouse dressed as cupid and Minnie Mouse holding a miniature Duffy the Disney Bear. They also reintroduced the popular 9-inch Duffy the Disney Bear from last Valentine’s Day.
The Disney pin trading team also created some Valentine’s Day pins this year including a limited edition WALL-E and Eve pin (which is my favorite). There is also a new open edition pin featuring Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
In the Vinylmation department, look for a limited edition, two-figure set this year. Designed by Disney artist Monty Maldovan, the set features Lady and Tramp and has an edition size of 2,000. The set will be released at the D Street locations at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort on January 24.
Other gift ideas include the “I’ll Be Your Mickey” and “I’ll Be Your Minnie” T-shirts, which are perfect for a romantic day at Disney Parks.
I also found some lovely jewelry. You may recall that last year we introduced some awesome magnetic jewelry by designer Petra Azar (you can see her discuss her jewelry in this article by my fellow author Michelle Stepney). This year, she has some new heart shaped necklaces including a red heart necklace that will be introduced on February 14. For guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, you can meet Petra at Tren-D in the Downtown Disney Marketplace during the afternoons on February 14-15, 2014.
Finally, I think some of the best gifts are ones from the heart. Since I love photography, I thought a nice gift would be a frame complete with a photograph from a recent visit to Disney Parks (in my case, a photograph from Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure park).
Happy Valentine’s Day!

This list were awesome and it gives me an idea what the best to gift this valentines, I love most the necklace.
Hi Steven, is it possible to see more of the Valentines Dayexclusive merchandise and a run-down of any special events Disney is planning for the holiday? My SO and I will be flying down for the weekend for a special trip and are too excited for words! Thank you!
All I have to say is please PLEASE keep up with the new Duffy merchandise. He is my favorite and I love that I am starting to be able to get more stuff here in the states and at the parks instead of having to get it from Japan (though most of the good stuff for Duffy is still only in Japan 😉 )
thanks steve 🙂

Love the gift ideas, expecially the jewelry. Will there be a wedding vow renewal ceremony at Cinderella’s Castle Court on Valentine’s Day this year? We are celebrating our 48th anniversary on Feb 14th and will be at WDW that week.
@Alice – I’ve not heard of any plans for a ceremony. Congratulations on 48 years! I wish you many more filled with happiness, laughter and love 🙂
Would love to get my boyfriend the pin set for Valentine’s Day! He’s been wanting to start collecting. Any idea where I can find it?? Thank you!
@Marla – Glad to hear of your interest. Those are actually four individual pins. I shared some details about with Matt (#7). I would check Disney’s Pin Traders first. They have the biggest assortment of pins to jumpstart a collection.
I absolutely love the “love” necklace and the heart with bow earrings. I need to try to find those so I can wear them on Valentines day or better yet convince my hubby to get them for my birthday with is in a few days…..
I ADORE the pattern of the fabric used on Valentine Mickey and Minnie’s outfits! Got to get them for sure!
When will the pin be available or is it already available at WDW? I couldn’t find it on the Online store.
@Matt – I’m unsure which pin you are referencing. If you mean the WALL-E and Eve pin, it is currently at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. The item number is 400008169509.
The best places to check at Walt Disney World Resort is Disney’s Pin Traders at Downtown Disney Marketplace or Pin Central in Epcot. For Disneyland Resort, I would visit Westward Ho or Little Green Men Store Command at Disneyland park. I would also try Disney’s Pin Traders at Downtown Disney District.
Unfortunately, the other pins are also not offered online. Here are their item numbers just in case you contact Merchandise Guest Services:
Jessica and Roger – 400008179614
Mickey Mouse – “I Love You” – 400007622616
Mickey Hand With Heart – 400004626501
The frame is nice, but where can I get that Light Cycle?
@Jeffrey – I’ll have to put you on The Grid! That Light Cycle is actually from a birthday cake that my fiancee made for me a few years ago. It looked like the Grid and it was awesome!
I have the same Epcot Center trinket box! LOVE, LOVE vintage Epcot Center merchandise!!
@Noreen – Right on! That image is from my office. I have a few EPCOT Center things in my workspace. Glad to know another retro EPCOT Center fan 🙂
Is the frame only available online or is this something we could find when visiting WDW/DLR? I love it!
@Jennifer – The frame is sold via our Disney Parks online store and it is carried at Disney Parks. The item number is 400143430045. The best places to check at Walt Disney World Resort include:
– Emporium, Big Top Souvenirs, Curtain Call Collectibles – Magic Kingdom Park

At Disneyland Resort, check the following locations:

Hopefully they will be available on Valentine’s Day!!!
