Today marks the 15th anniversary of the Animal Kingdom and as part of the celebration Walt Disney World is releasing some commemorative merchandise, some of which will include the 15th anniversary logo that was created by Disney Design Group artists Michael Posluszny and Maria Clapsis.
The merchandise includes a new safari hat and three new T-shirts with the 15th anniversary logo. For all you iPhone users, there are three new D-Tech on Demand cases for the iPhone 4/4s and the iPhone 5. One case showcases the Tree of Life, another features the anniversary logo, and the third features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and some other friends dressed in their safari best.
If you’re a pin collector, be sure to look for the two limited edition pins commemorating the Animal Kingdom’s anniversary. In addition to the limited edition pins, there is a limited release mystery pin set that incorporates characters and experiences from the Animal Kingdom. And, if that’s not enough, there is also a limited edition Earth Day pin.
As part of the anniversary celebration, Disney asked several artists to created one-of-kind 9-inch Vinylmations. The designs include a zebra, the Yeti, classic safari Mickey Mouse, and a colorful Mickey Mouse in the jungle.
The commemorative merchandise can be found at Creature Comforts in the Animal Kingdom. If you are unable to visit the park today you can visit the Disney Parks online store to purchase one style of the commemorative shirts.
