The holidays are returning to Disney World, from decorations to treats and new merchandise!
The fan-favorite Merry Menagerie holiday puppets are returning to Disney’s Animal Kingdom soon, and now you can take them home in a new way! How, you ask? As quite possibly the most adorable plushes EVER. Take a look!
Just outside Discovery Trading in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we came across this pair of plush Merry Menagerie puppets! And yes, they really are puppets! You can choose from a polar bear and a penguin for $29.99 each.
The polar bear is covered in many of the same gold and blue, swirly details as the big puppet.
Some of the details are embroidered, while others are printed on the bear.
Even the polar bear’s back has colorful, holiday snowflakes.
The tag shows you how to use the plush as a puppet, so you can be a Merry Menagerie puppeteer too!
And the polar bear’s little foot has Animal Kingdom embroidery.
The penguin is a little more fuzzy, with embroidered details.
We have no words for how CUTE these puppets are! A Cast Member told us to look out for puppeteers using these plushes in Animal Kingdom beginning on November 12th.
And the penguin’s wings have blue and gold embroidery.
Check out a video of all the cuteness below!
