Auction Catalog Highlights
The 35th anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate (other than by attending WDWNT.com’s Stage 89) than by picking up this 20th anniversary Limited Edition Director Mickey pin. This pin is part of a limited edition size of 1,500. It comes on its original backing card.
Other Disney’s Hollywood Studios-related items available in the auction include more pins, commemorative pieces from the inaugural Disney Jollywood Nights, and a guidemap from the park’s 30th anniversary.
Also up for bidding is this Country Bear Jamboree Sipper Jug. The Magic Kingdom version of the classic attraction closed earlier this year, with its final show not taking place due to technical difficulties. This summer, the attraction is set to reopen as the “Country Bear Musical Jamboree,” and will feature Disney songs reinterpreted “in different genres of country music, including bluegrass, pop-country, Americana, rockabilly,” and more. Read our detailed history of the Country Bear Jamboree.
Another interesting Country Bear Jamboree item available for auction is this Liver Lips McGrowl bean bag plush. Once the Country Bear Musical Jamboree opens this summer, this bear will receive a new, updated look and name — Romeo McGrowl.
Disney Parks fans will no doubt recognize this wrapped-in-box copy of The Game of Life, Disney Parks edition. Enjoy the classic game featuring favorite characters and attractions, or keep it wrapped and preserve its status as a collector’s item.

The fountain is a popular photo location for guests. The pavement of the AquaSphere Plaza that surrounds the water feature was entirely torn up and repaved while the park was closed during the COVID-19 closures.
