DVC Members at Walt Disney World have new merchandise options to choose from.
Found at Boutiki, the gift shop inside Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, this white button-down shirt has a front and back design themed to Disney Vacation Club. The shirt is trimmed in a mint green and white striped pattern.
Over the front pocket is embroidery work that says “Disney Vacation Club Member EST 1991 D.V.C.” That is surrounded by a circle of symbols for different DVC properties.
Screen-printed on the back is a Mickey Head surrounded by clouds, leaves, and different DVC locations. At the center, it reads “Welcome Home.” “Disney Vacation Club Member.” is printed on the bottom of the design.
This DVC Pandora charm is double-sided. On one side, Mickey Mouse is seen laughing in a lounge chair as he enjoys a tropical beverage. The other side reads “Disney Vacation Club Member,” with a Mickey Head at the center.
The Mickey side is a cream color and the opposite side is a deep green.

Universal Orlando Resort has revealed the height requirements for the attractions that will be in Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe when the park opens next year.
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge is a 3-D/4-D experience with motion simulation. The minimum height requirement is 42 inches, or 107 centimeters. Guests under 48 inches tall (122 centimeters), however, will require a supervising companion to ride with them.
This kid-friendly attraction will take guests of all ages on a winding and weaving trip through the Mushroom Kingdom. The minimum height requirement is 36 inches, or 92 centimeters. However, guests under 48 inches (122 centimeters) will need to be accompanied by a supervising companion in order to ride.
Mine-Cart Madness is a thrill attraction where guests will join Donkey Kong to protect the Golden Banana. The minimum height requirement for this attraction is the same as Yoshi’s Adventure — 36 inches, or 92 centimeters. Children under 48 inches must be joined by a supervising companion, and hand-held infants are not permitted to ride.
Key Challenges and interactive activities can be enjoyed by any guest visiting the land, regardless of height. However, a Power-Up Band is required to collect digital keys and coins, and is a separate purchase.
Universal Orlando Resort has confirmed the details for the new land, as well as released a trailer showing what guests can expect when Epic Universe opens in 2025.
Which Super Nintendo World attraction are you most excited to experience when the land opens next year? Let us know in the comments.

Alongside confirming the details for Super Nintendo World, one of the themed lands coming to Epic Universe when it opens in 2025, Universal Orlando Resort has shared a new trailer for the land.
The video begins with a few words from Molly Murphy, president of Universal Creative, explaining how guests will “discover a new way to play” in Super Nintendo World.
It goes on to include other quotes from members of Universal Creative, just as the How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk video did previously, with appearances by Eric Parr, senior vice president; Chris Bromby, director of immersive experiences; Bill Finn, project director; Andrew Padua, creative director; Susan Cummings, assistant director and executive producer;
In addition to a digital flyover, just like the previous land reveals, the trailer also includes footage from the version of the land at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Watch the trailer for Super Nintendo World below:

Universal Orlando Resort has announced official details for Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe.
Super Nintendo World was the first land confirmed for Epic Universe. This will be the third version of Super Nintendo World, following Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood. The Florida version will include the original attractions from Universal Studios Japan, as well as the Donkey Kong Country expansion.
Guests will enter it through a portal from Celestial Park. This is a decked-out version of the green warp pipe entrance at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Japan, in keeping with the Epic Universe theming. Also unique to this entrance is that guests will take an escalator up into the land.
The main attraction of Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe will be Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge (Koopa’s Challenge in Universal Studios Japan).
Wind your way through Bowser’s Castle and join Team Mario on the racetrack to defeat Team Bowser in this interactive ride. Just like in the Mario Kart games, you’ll collect coins and throw shells, all while driving through courses underwater and in the clouds. The attraction employs special goggles— just look at your target, press the button on the steering to toss a shell, and BAM!
Watch our full ride POV of the Universal Studios Hollywood version of Bowser’s Challenge below.
Orlando will host the first Yoshi’s Adventure attraction in North America! On this family-focused ride, you’ll hop onto a Yoshi and embark on a search for glowing eggs.
Universal Studios Hollywood does not have Yoshi’s Adventure due to space constraints. Watch our ride POV video below.
Donkey Kong Country has a more tropical vibe to it than Super Mario Land. Andrew Padua, Senior Art Director and Creative Lead for SUPER NINTENDO WORLD tells us that when you walk into the tunnel between the two lands, you’ll see the gradual change from the bricks and hills of Super Mario Land to the more jungle atmosphere of Donkey Kong Country. “There’s rockwork and gems and flowers. Everything’s overgrown and tropical,” he says.
Mine-Cart Madness is part of the Donkey Kong Country expansion opening later this year at Universal Studios Japan.
The Tiki Tak Tribe has come to steal the Golden Banana. To protect it, guests will join Donkey Kong and his friends on a high-energy mine-cart ride.
But the cutting-edge technology is what will make Mine-Cart Madness a truly unique ride experience. The roller coaster uses a new ride system, developed in-house by Universal Creative, that recreates the thrilling maneuvers of the mine carts from the Donkey Kong Country video game series.
The Key Challenges of Super Nintendo World, completed using Power-Up Bands, are essentially a self-guided attraction.
At these interactive experiences throughout the land, you’ll test your quickness, skill, and timing in a variety of challenges. The challenges include: Thwomp Panel Panic, Goomba Crazy Crank, Piranha Plant Nap Mishap, Koopa Troopa POWer Punch, and the Bob-Omb Kaboom Room. (This’ll be the first Bob-Omb Kaboom Room in North America!) For each challenge you win, you receive a digital key. Collect three keys with a Power-Up Band and you can play Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown, where you’ll battle to win the Golden Mushroom back from Bowser Jr.
Read our spoiler-free guide to Power-Up Bands and our guide to Key Challenges at Universal Studios Hollywood for more information, or watch our video about the challenges at Universal Studios Japan below.
It wouldn’t be Super Mario Land if you couldn’t snag a selfie with your favorite Super Mario characters! Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad will all be available for character meet-and-greets throughout the day. Plus, if you have a Power-Up Band, meeting these characters offers an enhanced experience.
Epic Universe will open in 2025. Another version of Super Nintendo World is also under construction at Universal Studios Singapore. Read our full guide to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan and our guide to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood.
