The 2023 Disney Pride collection is now available at Disneyland Resort ahead of Pride Month in June. This collection celebrates LGBTQIA+ pride with merchandise featuring rainbows and messages of love. Much of this year’s merch features the Progress Pride flag, which is a traditional rainbow, plus black and brown stripes representing LGBTQIA+ people of color and light pink, light blue, and white stripes representing the trans community.
We found most of the merchandise in the Emporium and the pins in 20th Century Music Co. at Disneyland. No signs indicate that proceeds from this year’s collection will be donated to LGBTQIA+ organizations, as has been standard in previous years. On twdcpridecollection.com, Disney does list LGBTQIA+ organizations they support.
The 2023 Pride collection is also available at Walt Disney World.
The Spirit Jersey has an all-over pattern of rainbows, hearts, flowers, and other colorful imagery.
A Progress Pride Mickey head is on the left breast.
“Disney Pride” is across the back of the shoulders. A Mickey head is the dot of the “i” in “Pride.” Mickey himself is at the center of the lower back, in rainbow shorts and shoes.
Pets can match their humans with their own Spirit Jerseys, also featuring “Disney Pride” and Mickey on the back.
The pet Spirit Jersey comes in several different sizes.

More of the Adventureland Treehouse is being revealed as scaffolding and scrim continue to come down from around the new Disneyland attraction.
Green scrim still blocks the view of much of the attraction, but the top portion of the treehouse was previously uncovered and we can see through some of the remaining scaffolding inside.
The bow of a ship is part of one of the treehouse’s highest structures.
Below the boat, we can see more bamboo railings lining stairs and a landing. Next to the scaffolding, a palm tree is wrapped in cloth, keeping it protected from construction.
The Adventureland Treehouse will have a ground floor for those who can’t climb stairs to enjoy.
Black tarps block the view of some of the lower floors.
Work lights are still wrapped across the higher structures and tree branches, but these sections appear close to completion.
The different huts of the treehouse are topped with thatched roofs.
Back in November 2022, it was announced that Tarzan’s Treehouse would be transformed into a new Swiss Family-Inspired Adventureland Treehouse in Disneyland Park. It would have its own story, partially inspired by “Swiss Family Robinson”.
Before it was Tarzan’s Treehouse, the attraction was Swiss Family Treehouse, based on the 1960 film “Swiss Family Robinson.” It opened on November 18, 1962, at Disneyland Park and was an opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Paris. It remains the Swiss Family Treehouse at Magic Kingdom, Disneyland Paris, and Tokyo Disneyland.
Swiss Family Treehouse closed at Disneyland Park in 1999 and reopened as Tarzan’s Treehouse (pictured above) later that year. After another 22 years of operation, it suddenly closed in September 2021. Disney eventually announced in April 2022 that it would be re-themed.
Instead of being inspired by a different IP (it was rumored it could be “Encanto”-themed), the new treehouse will have an original story about a family living in the treehouse on Jungle River. It will look more like the original 1962 Swiss Family Treehouse, including a water wheel at the entrance, but the family is different, hence the name Adventureland Treehouse.
Each member of the family will have their own themed room, featuring found objects and natural resources that they have repurposed for home use, not unlike previous iterations of the treehouse. Above is concept art for the mother’s music den. The young son will have a nature room and the teenage daughter will have an astronomer’s loft.
To make the attraction more accessible for guests unable to climb stairs, or who just don’t want to go up high, the bottom floor will be expanded to include a kitchen, dining room, and the father’s art studio displaying hand-drawn sketches and paintings of each of the rooms.
It was also rumored that the attraction would become S.E.A.-themed. While it may not be an entirely S.E.A. attraction, there is a Society of Explorers and Adventurers banner in the concept art.
The full title of the new attraction is Adventureland Treehouse Inspired by Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson. The Adventureland Treehouse is set to be completed this year but an opening timeframe has not been announced.
