In April, we venture deep into the 100-acre wood and gain insight from Christopher Robin himself.

August
In August, Disney highlighted the classic Disney favorite, “Bambi”. This year, August marks the 77th anniversary of this beloved Disney classic and what better way to celebrate than by adding it to the Disney Wisdom Collection.

Remember, all items for this month are available on shopDisney starting on September 21st while supplies last.
November
On November 16th, Disney will release the next installment for the Disney Wisdom collection featuring the classic movie, The Lion King. Rafiki imparts this month’s words of wisdom with the quote: “The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” Like prior months, you can choose between a plush, mug, pin set, journal t-shirt or wall decor which all feature our favorite Lion King characters. Again, all items for this month are available on shopDisney starting on November 16th while supplies last.
The Rest of the year
During the rest of the year, you can look forward to the following themes and quotes in the Disney Wisdom collection:
- December 7: Cinderella/”Even miracles take a little time.” – Fairy Godmother
New themed items arrive on the third Saturday of every month in 2019. As the current month’s items become available to purchase, the following month’s items will be revealed. To make it even more fun, you can display the collection’s limited edition pins with this canvas pennant featuring a quote from Walt Disney: “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
According to INSIDER, the inspiration for the quote-based merchandise came after the success of 2018’s monthly Mickey Mouse-themed items. The first release in that collection featured a Mickey plush with Walt Disney’s quote, “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse.”
