Mickey Monthly Subscription Box Review + Coupon – July 2016

I’m wondering if there is some kind of system in place to ensure that you don’t receive duplicates from previous months?

I just received my 2nd box from Mickey Monthly. I didn’t sign up for this as a means of obtaining very specific items of rare value, I signed up for it to get a little bit of Disney every month. In both boxes, thus far, I have received some “Authentic Disney Parks” items – you can tell from the price tag. Not everything in the box is something I would have purchased for myself, but if I’m not particular to it, there is definitely a family member that would love it! I have the cheap, $19.99, classic subscription and for the 2nd month in a row what I have received well exceeds the price of my subscription. Kudos to them for finding deals to make you feel like you’re getting so much more for your money!

In my experience people either love or hate Mickey monthly. We get the theme park castle size box and my family LOVES it. We have always been super happy with what we get and like the variety of souvenirs and food treats that tide us over until our next vacation. We are so in love with getting the food treats that I have considered a second food only subscription so I don’t have to share with my kids :::shame::: haha

For those asking questions this is what their faqs says “Theme Park Edition boxes contain merchandise only purchased on Disney Property here in Orlando Florida. You will notice the merchandise has a special Disney Parks Logo and is not merchandise you can buy anywhere else. You typically receive around 55% of the value in items in order to bring you this one of a kind experience.

Original Boxes contain NO merchandise from the Disney Parks and Resorts like the Theme Park Edition does. These boxes are full of Disney Licensed items, which are the kind of merchandise you would buy at a retail store. You can think of it like any other subscription box. It contains items you can get from a local store, but at a discounted price. These boxes contain about 120% of the value you pay in items.”

“We are not affiliated with Disney, but we are REALLY big fans. Our Theme Park Edition monthly boxes are filled with snacks and souvenirs that we personally purchase at the parks and resorts, then ship to you! It’s like personal shopping but in a fun mystery box every month.”

As I’ve mentioned before, unless this business has a license to sell “official Disney merchandise” they are acting as unlicensed resellers. Disney enforces their trademark and licenses like no one else. I’m frankly shocked they’re still alive and kicking sinc Disney goes after etsy sellers simply using their licensed fabric to make and sell baby blankets. Sellers there get cease and desist letters from Disney every day. I’ve had a client who got hit with a letter and there was no defense against it legally.

As another Disneyland nerd, I’m a little weary of this. Great if you want a little Disney mystery box (or have them curate you something) but not sure it’s otherwise a great deal. I looked at the pin box options and I would not pay $7.95 + shipping for a gently used trading pin, and I’m a little taken aback people are selling that. You’re better off buying pins off the official Disney website or buying their official mystery packs!

I have to agree with the other comments about the pin. They sell those in Walmarts near Disney World. Same goes for the other items in the box. If you just like getting Disney stuff, then that’s fine, but these are not OFFICIAL park products.

I used to subscribe to this box and I think they sent you a nicer box than they send actual subscribers. I received this box for 6 months and they just got worse and worse so I unsubscribed.

Great review-love, love ,love that water bottle!❤

This was the theme park box? Not one of those items is from the parks. Everything there can be found at the cheap gift shops along 192 in Kissimmee, or the walmarts in the area. Any stuffed animal from Disney has an official Disney parks tag, and as for the pin, you can’t find it on the Disney site because it’s not an official Disney product.
Sorry, I’m a huge Disney nerd. I think the box is ok, but nowhere near the value you’re guessing.

Cute subscription, and it seems like a good value.

The pin may not be from Disney directly – I live near Disney World and the Target by us has pins like that that are official Disney – just not what you deem “trading pins”. 🙂
