The Hunt for Disney Parks PEZ: A Collector’s Journey
A very special thank you goes out to Bill M. for sharing his recent Disney Parks PEZ adventure with all of us. ❤️
Thanks to Bill, we’re also thrilled to bring you some of the very first HQ photos of the brand-new Disney Parks PEZ collection!
Our Disney Parks PEZ Hunt
“Your report yesterday morning inspired my wife and me to drive down to Disney World, where we found the dispensers and purchased 2 to 4 sets of the entire 2025 collection.”
Where the Search Began
Bill and his wife focused their search entirely on Disney Springs, the massive shopping and entertainment district outside the Disney Parks.
Disney Springs is free to enter and also offers free parking, making it one of the best starting points for PEZ collectors hunting Disney exclusives.
Of course, their first stop was the enormous World of Disney store — likely one of the largest Disney retail stores in the world.
Surprisingly though, only one dispenser was found there:
Disney Parks Mickey Mouse with Soccer Hat.
Considering the size of the store, they expected to find the full lineup there, but Mickey was the only PEZ available.
The Key to Finding Disney Parks PEZ
The breakthrough came after speaking with a helpful Disney cast member.
Using her iPhone inventory system, she searched the Disney database and directed them to Goofy’s Candy Company.
And there it was — the rest of the Disney Parks PEZ collection!
Collector Tips for Finding PEZ at Disney
Bill also shared some fantastic advice for fellow collectors planning their own Disney PEZ hunt:
✨ Don’t expect large PEZ displays.
✨ PEZ is often hidden in secondary locations.
✨ PEZ is rarely displayed near premium collectibles or princess merchandise.
✨ Some cast members may not know what PEZ is or where it’s located.
✨ The best strategy is finding a cast member with access to the inventory system on their iPhone.
According to Bill, these inventory-connected cast members can often locate stock instantly and may even retrieve dispensers directly from storage areas.
He also reminded collectors not to forget about Disney resort hotels and smaller shops, since exclusive PEZ releases have appeared in unexpected locations before.
Persistence truly seems to be the secret when hunting PEZ at Disney Parks.
A huge thank you again to Bill M. for taking the time to share this fantastic collector adventure with all of us. ❤️
And of course… don’t forget your Disney Monorails!
Special thanks to Pez4me for the photo. 😊
Happy Collecting!
