BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm sure the price tag on the Hawaiian shirts will be hefty, but if I was going to D23 I'd probably have to buy them anyway. Quote EXCLUSIVE: New attraction-inspired ‘aloha shirts’ designed by Walt Disney Imagineering coming to D23 Expo 2017 IN APPAREL, CONVENTIONS, DISNEY, DISNEYLAND, DISNEYLAND RESORT, EVENTS, MERCHANDISE, THEME PARK MERCH, THEME PARKS Posted on June 15, 2017 by Ricky Brigante1 Comment Walt Disney Imagineering has exclusively shared with ITM a first look at fun new aloha shirts that will be available at the D23 Expo 2017 next month. For sale at the Mickey’s of Glendale location at the event, these specialty apparel items were designed by Imagineer and concept artist Morgan Richardson, whose work you have recently seen in Pandora – The World of Avatar. Richardson worked on themed finishes throughout Pandora, including claw marks and creature tracks, as well as elements of the just-reopened Big Thunder Trail. Now he’s been tasked with creating an attraction-inspired series for Disney fans to take home. (He also modeled the shirts for us here.) These limited edition designs are inspired by Adventureland and Pirates of the Caribbean, in celebration of the attraction’s 50th anniversary. Also included in the series are the Enchanted Tiki Room and Bengal Barbecue. Beyond Adventureland, other unique merchandise available at the Mickey’s of Glendale store during the D23 Expo will represent Frontierland, the Society of Explorers & Adventurers, and other theme park fun. Edition sizes are 600 of each Hawaiian shirt. No pricing information has been released yet. For future updates on upcoming Imagineering apparel designs, follow Morgan and photographer Greg Lawson on Instagram.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I really like those shirts. But, I don't like it when they slip in references to things that are exclusive to Disneyland. Bengal BBQ is just a quick serve place that serves meat skewers in Disneyland. We don't have one at WDW. I like it fine, but to me putting it on the Adventureland Hawaiian shirt makes it a Disneyland shirt, which I am not as interested in as a WDW shirt. Also, normal folks have to wait for hours to get into that Mickey's of Glendale store at the D23 Expo. So, I'll pass. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't that impressed with either design. Now if they made the Tiki Room one into a button up that would be a different story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 777 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I really liked the Trader Sam's one they had at the Poly. I just kick myself every day because I didn't snatch one up at WWW. Now sadly, they are gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'll definitely be getting one or two of the button up shirts. If I can get my hands on them Most days I wear shorts and Hawaiian shirts. Or as my DD calls them. "Dads ugly shirts." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
