A merchandise collection inspired by Tokyo Disneyland’s new “Reach for the Stars” nighttime spectacular is coming soon to the park.
The collection will be available on September 19, the day before “Reach for the Stars” premieres. The castle projection show features Walt Disney Animation Studios characters, Pixar characters, and Marvel superheroes.
Merchandise features Cinderella Castle with some of the featured characters flying around it.
This set includes two postcards. One has the horizontal full-color “Reach for the Stars” concept art with characters flying from the castle over illuminated clouds. The vertical-oriented postcard features a silver sparkly version of the castle with white character silhouettes. Both read, “…any wish can be ours…if we reach for the stars…”
The same designs are on the A4 and A5 clear folders. Characters in the “Reach for the Stars” art include Hercules on Pegasus, Aladdin, Jasmine, Iron Man, and Captain Marvel.
This sticker features the sparkling silver and white artwork.
The enamel pin has a silver image of the castle against a dark blue starry sky. It has gold detailing, including a ribbon across the front featuring the quote, “…any wish can be ours…if we reach for the stars…” Tinker Bell’s gold silhouette is at the top, her wand pointed at a gemstone embedded in the pin.
The keychain features rose gold embellishments. One charm is the silver castle with pink clouds. Another charm is Tinker Bell’s iconic silhouette. The third charm is a blue ribbon featuring the quote in gold.
This washcloth is dark blue with lilac purple borders featuring stars and the Tokyo Disneyland wordmark. The castle is in white with characters, stars, and clouds around it. The quote is embroidered across the top in rose gold, next to Tinker Bell.
The characters and stars glow in the dark.
The sweatshirt is white. Tinker Bell’s silhouette and a few pixie dust stars are on the left breast.
The larger image of characters around the castle is on the back. It’s mostly dark blue with white clouds.
The ball cap is black with the castle, clouds, and Tink embroidered in white on the front panel. The quote is embroidered on the side.
This dark blue blanket is patterned with images of Cinderella Castle, clouds, quotes, stars, and characters. The iconography is in white. It includes a white cloud-shaped case featuring Tinker Bell and the quote.
This tote bag is made of a shiny silver material. The castle and characters are printed in black on one side with white clouds. The interior lining is dark blue with stars.
One side of this drawstring pouch features the full-color concept art with characters like Buzz, Woody, Baymax, Dumbo, and WALL-E.

More “Ghostbusters” theming has been added to Halloween Horror Nights food booths in the New York section of Universal Studios Florida.
The two booths match the “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” house, which is inspired by the film of the same name. This booth resembles a frozen stone building. Newly added is the Ghostbusters logo and a Slimer cutout.
The logo makes it clear this booth is inspired by the firehouse that acts as the Ghostbusters headquarters.
Slimer also appears frozen where he hovers next to the logo.
The booth next door is Ivan’s NYC Deli & Grocery, named after Ivan Reitman, the late director of the first two “Ghostbusters” films. There are now several Mini-Pufts on the booth’s sign.
The Mini-Pufts are small versions of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, an iconic element of the first “Ghostbusters.” The Mini-Pufts first appeared in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.”
The Mini-Pufts are depicted via cutouts. They’re made to look like they’re climbing all over the deli booth. One is leaping off the booth, while another holds its leg.
A trio of them are helping hold up the Ivan’s sign.
The themed cash wraps for the food booths are on the other side, facing Transformers: The Ride 3D. The “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” house will likely be located by the nearby firehouse, which once housed the Ghostbusters Spooktacular show.

By drawing inspiration from iconic attractions, Disney ensures that each new space not only complements its surroundings but also enhances the overall guest experience.
