Mickey Mouse-inspired couches

Disney merchandise rocked 2016! Items from inside Disney Parks–as well as outside–had shoppers happily emptying their wallets throughout the entire year. Before we usher in 2017, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the year’s top 10 most-viewed merchandise posts that had us begging retailers to take our money. Here we go:

10. Disney The Little Mermaid lace-up sneakers from Hot Topic

Disney shoes are one item that most merchandise fans get really excited about. This Ariel pair came out early in 2016 and “kicked” off the trend–yes, I went there. Unfortunately this pair sold out and is no longer available, but you can find plenty of other cute Ariel shoes from Hot Topic right HERE.

9. New Minnie Mouse slippers from UGG Australia

Shoe brand Vans is no stranger to Disney fans now that they have released multiple Disney collections, but the Toy Story collection may have been the most highly anticipated of them all. With the company being very “hush-hush” about the collection, our first look at the designs gained tons of views!

Minnie Mouse was a popular girl during 2016 with her own marketing campaign called #RocktheDots, where plenty of designers collaborated to bring her style front and center. The name that seemed to draw the most eyes from this campaign was the high-end brand, Kate Spade. Every Disney fashionista was dying to get their hands on the items from this collection!

3. Vans shoes Toy Story collection

Minnie Mouse and shoes consistently featured in our list of the most popular merchandise items for 2016, and this Minnie Mouse collection by UGG Australia was one our readers certainly were passionate about!

With so many Disney fans out there in the world, you would think someone was already creating Disney furniture. Luckily for home decor heavyweight Ethan Allen it wasn’t so. In fact, their release of a Disney-inspired home/furniture collection in 2016 got Disney fans so excited that it became Inside the Magic‘s most viewed story of the whole year!
