UPDATED OCTOBER 12, 2017: Mickey To Your Door sent me a replacement box in the mail to make up for the one item arriving broken in my Tink box. Check out what new Disney contents I received in my make-up box in this new video upload below.
ORIGINAL POST:
The last few posts have focused on registry bags and while I do plan to continue that series and show what came in a few more “free boxes” for pregnant women, I wanted to switch gears today and focus on another phenomenon altogether: Disney subscription boxes! It recently came to my attention that there are companies that will personally shop for you at either Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California and send items to subscribers on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Disney has at least SIX official collectible subscriptions that I’ve found ranging from a “Disney princess”-themed box aimed at young children sold by Pley to Disney Park Packs sold on Shop Disney (formerly DisneyStore.com) which contain coin and pin collections with handpicked items from the parks as well as a new tsum tsum and/or ornament subscription service, a Funko collectibles subscription called the Disney Treasures Box and even the Countdown to Fun box, a one-time box sold on both Shop Disney and and the Shop Disney Parks app filled with six surprise boxes to countdown the time before your next Disney World vacation. Phew-ee! And THAT is only the OFFICIAL Disney subscription services that are currently available.
There’s also an official Star Wars collectibles plan for Star Wars lovers, two officially licensed Marvel products plans and at least 12 different companies I have found as of this writing which are unofficial Disney Parks subscription services that specialize in providing mystery boxes each month containing either items directly purchased from the parks or selected from Disney licensed merchants. I am working on a comparison post outlining the benefits of each of these different companies but to kick this off, I recently subscribed to one of the unofficial plans called Mickey To Your Door.
From what I’ve gathered, Mickey To Your Door (not to be confused with Magic at Your Door, another unofficial subscription service) is one of the newer and perhaps lesser known companies judging by the lack of YouTube videos dedicated to its unboxing of products. However, they are one of the few companies that pretty much guarantee you will receive at least 100% of the value of the box you are paying for and which also specializes in products handpicked directly from Walt Disney World (so you are guaranteed mostly all theme park products!). Some other subscription services state that their boxes contain a mix of theme park products and officially licensed items with a promise of just one or two items from Disney Parks, which honestly means you could get something sold at Target or even Dollar Tree as long as it an “officially licensed” Disney item and they would count that toward your product total. I was not interested in receiving licensed products I could potentially find easily on my own so specifically looked into which services would provide those hard-to-ship items shopped directly from the theme parks…and that is when Mickey To Your Door entered my radar.
Their signature is a typically all-white or brown box with their logo stamped across the front in red lettering. Each of their boxes contains items purchased directly from the Walt Disney World resort in Florida and can be cancelled at any time, though they do allow you to purchase their regular monthly subscription boxes one time if purchased as a gift. Additionally, they sell special one-time boxes on their website valued between $35 and $75 plus shipping.
Of all the subscription services I found, Mickey To Your Door offers the CHEAPEST monthly subscription box at just $12 (the smaller box pictured below) and that box includes free shipping in the U.S. This was a new box offered beginning the month of September 2017 so I could not resist signing up to try it out!
There are currently eight different boxes you can subscribe to, in addition to the two one-time boxes, including three pin trading boxes starting at $8, one snacks box priced at $35 and four mystery boxes with an assortment of souvenirs and Disney Parks snacks. These boxes can be customized by specifying in advance what age group this box is targeted for (whether child or adult) as well as gender (unless you prefer to keep items gender neutral). The smallest mystery box – the Tink box – cannot be customized but is also the box guaranteed to save you the most by only costing $12 a month. The next lowest priced mystery box is their Wishes box, priced at $25 with a guarantee of up to 3 items – but notice with the wording, you could still just receive only 2 items valued at a total of $25. So with that said, I thought opting for the Tink box with a guarantee of one OR two items might give me the most bang for my buck for receiving a few Disney Parks items (vs. paying $25) and would be a cheap introduction to try this new service.
Here is a video review and unboxing of both the $12 Tink box as well as their World Showcase Snacks box, which guaranteed up to 10 treats and snacks plucked from around the world in Epcot’s World Showcase for $35 plus shipping. With 11 countries to choose from I thought this would be an excellent way to see what treats were sent to me from “around the world” as well as loved the concept of this box, given all the items were guaranteed to come from Epcot, my favorite Disney park.
Let me know what you thought of what I received in my first-ever Disney subscription boxes. Were they worth it? Worth trying again? I would love to hear any thoughts on these or other Disney subscription boxes as overall I LOVE the concept of receiving a dose of Disney Parks in the mail for those times when you can’t get yourself physically to the parks, and I can see myself trying these again come Christmas time 🙂
