The 1970s Disney100 Decades collection has arrived at Walt Disney World and we found the first few items at Discovery Trading Co. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This collection celebrates Disney media released in the 1970s, and features “The Aristocats,” “The Rescuers,” and the Muppets.
We also spotted the collection in Big Top Souvenirs at Magic Kingdom.
“The Aristocats” Ear Headband – $39.99
This mouse ear headband is covered in pink fabric.
Instead of a bow, a metal piece between the ears depicts Duchess and Thomas O’Malley dancing together.
The ears themselves are covered in translucent sequins, offering an extra shine to the images printed on the fabric behind them. This ear features Billy Boss playing the double bass.
The other ear shows Scat Cat grooving on his trumpet.
A silver Disney100 Decades plaque is sewn onto the side of the headband.
On the back, Marie is enjoying the music on one sequined ear.
The ears have braided gold rope edges.
Toulouse and Berlioz are on the back of the other ear.
The other side of the headband features two black music notes.
Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem Loungefly Mini Backpack – $88
In honor of their 1975 debut on “The Muppet Show” pilot, this Loungefly mini backpack features Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. The members of the band are pictured above a circular pocket featuring red lips — just like Animal’s drumset.
The background is a colorful hippie design featuring piano keys, flowers, and stars.
Yellow fringe hangs over the green side pockets.
A light blue Disney and Loungefly plaque is on one side pocket.
The top and back of the bag are solid purple. A more muted purple lines the pockets and zippers, and is the color of the straps.
The neon logo of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem is on the back.
The interior lining is yellow and patterned with images of the band, plus stars and flowers.
The Rescuers Plush Set – $34.99
This set includes plush of Miss Bianca, Bernard, and Evinrude. The mice are riding the leaf boat steered by the dragonfly.
Miss Bianca is wearing her fluffy purple hat and matching silk bow, while Bernard is in a red cap and sweater.
The plush come in a Disney100 Decades-branded dust bag.
Limited Release “Pete’s Dragon” Pin Set – $34.99
This set includes three pins of Elliott from “Pete’s Dragon.” Two of the pins are circular with his face at the center, while the third is shaped like his full body.
The 1970s Disney100 Decades collection will also include a limited edition “Robin Hood” MagicBand+.
