Adventure Awaits with the Expedition Mickey Mouse Collection by Bret Iwan

Update Unveiling the Adventure: The Expedition Mickey Mouse Collection Excitement is brewing at Disney Parks as the all-new Expedition Mickey Mouse Collection, designed by Bret Iwan, prepares for its exclusive launch. Scheduled to arrive on November 1, 2025, this collection promises to capture the spirit of adventure and showcases Mickey Mouse in a fresh, daring light. A Dual Passion: Merging Art and Character Bret Iwan, known for voicing Mickey Mouse since 2009, is stepping into a new role as the lead designer for this merchandise line, which reflects both his artistic vision and his love for Disney Parks. During an interview, Iwan expressed how his journey as both a visual artist and a voice actor intertwines, allowing him to pour his creativity into the Expedition collection. "This is the very first collection where it's entirely my vision," Iwan stated. From choosing fabrics to colors and textures, the collection echoes a level of detail that is both meticulously crafted and deeply personal. Nature-Inspired Design Drawing heavily from the vintage aesthetic of National Parks, the collection merges outdoor adventure with Mickey’s timeless appeal. Iwan's design has been influenced by his own love for nature and exploration, aiming to evoke a nostalgic but adventurous vibe. “Getting outdoors and exploring is one of my favorite things to do,” he explained. You can expect to see cozy flannels, rugged utility jackets, and t-shirts all reflecting this aesthetic. Each piece is lovingly designed to encourage fans to embrace the outdoors, much like Mickey himself would. Easter Eggs and Hidden Gems True to Iwan's love for detail, fans are in for a treat with Easter eggs hidden throughout the collection’s designs. Iwan incorporated subtle nods to iconic Disney Parks attractions into the patterns. For instance, look closely at the short-sleeve button-down shirts where you might discover familiar park symbols nestled among the flannel design. “It was fun to add elements that tied Mickey’s exploration back to the Disney Parks,” Iwan shared, creating a direct connection to the magic and wonder that Disney embodies. Event Launch and Experience The collection will debut at a special launch event in Disney Springs on November 1, where fans can meet Iwan, participate in a live Q&A, and get a first look at the collection. The excitement doesn't just come from the merchandise; it’s also about enhancing the overall Disney experience. Iwan hopes the collection will become part of people’s park stories, bringing warmth and connection to their adventures. "Finding something special when you’re in the park… adds one more layer to your visit,” he said. A Luxury Disney Adventure For families visiting Central Florida, this immersive experience extends beyond the clothes. With options for Disney VIP tours in Orlando and private Disney World experiences, guests can embrace a luxury vacation filled with exclusive access to the magic.
