Mickey Monthly is an unofficial Disney subscription box. The following three box options are available: Snack Only Box, Monthly Combo Box and Souvenir Only Box. The Snack Only Box which includes monthly snacks and treats directly from Disney World. The Snack Only Box comes in three sizes: Yummy Essentials ($39.99/month and 3-4 snacks), Twice as Nice ($49.99/month and 4-6 snacks), Kingdom Cravers ($74.99/month and 6-9 snacks). The Monthly Combo Box is a combination of snacks and souvenirs from Disney World. It also comes in three sizes: Simple Combo ($39.99/month), Mickey Sized ($59.99/month) and Mother Load ($84.99/month) and include 4-12 items customized for your preferences. The Souvenir Only Box includes monthly souvenirs from Disney World and again is available in three sizes. Pixie Sized ($39.99/month), Just Right ($49.99/month) and Want It All ($74.99/month). Sizes range from 3+ items to 6+ items and will include a variety of magical souvenirs both big and small. Mickey Monthly also offers one-time only boxes and Limited Edition Boxes which are available once a month on the 1st of the month until they sell out. I subscribe to the Souvenir Only – “Just Right” box.
Mickey Monthly ships via USPS twice a month. Members who signed up between the 1st and 15th will receive their box the last week of the same month. Members who signed up between the 16th and the end of the month will receive their box the second week of the following month. All future shipments will arrive about the same time every month.
Mickey Monthly notes in their FAQ that they are NOT able to provide $60 worth of merchandise in a $59.99 box. They buy the items at retail prices from the Disney parks and then have to take into account travel time, shipping costs, paypal fees, etc. They note that you can expect about $40 worth of items in a $59.99 box. I appreciate that they clearly note this on their website so you aren’t surprised when you try and add up the costs from your box. All that said I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew it wasn’t going to be a “value” box. It’s more of an experience box. My August 2015 Souvenir Only – “Just Right” ($49.99) box contained the following items:
~Disney Holographic Placemat ($9.95): Very cute! I love that it has SO many Disney characters including Duffy the Bear! I think he’s adorable. Anyway, I doubt we will use this as an actual placemat, but it will work nicely as a mess mat for art projects.
~Mickey Mouse Keychain: I don’t know why, but WB was really into this when I opened up the box. He’s been really into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse since we got cable so that may be part of it. Maybe I will clip this onto his backpack for school.
~Stitch Hand Sanitizer Soap: All the kids in L’s school like to have hand sanitizer on their backpack and I haven’t gotten him a fresh one for the new school year yet so I was thrilled to see this! It will clip on his backpack perfectly and it’s a character he loves.
~Mickey Mouse Magnetic Notepad ($6.95): Love this! It’s magnetic and adorable. I love paper products / office supplies so this is right up my alley.
~Disney World Coloring Book ($1.99): This may be the least expensive item in the box, but I think it’s my favorite. The tag on the back says it’s $1.99 so that’s the price I went with, but it’s on Amazon for $6.50. Anyway, it’s a classic disney coloring book. Great pictures of the characters, lots of assortment, etc. It’s just the perfect Disney coloring book.
I would estimate that this month’s Mickey Monthly box had a value of somewhere between $35 – $40. I couldn’t find prices for much online because it’s only available at the Disney Parks. My original plan was to get this and save items for the boys to open in advance of our Disney cruise, but I am pretty sure we will use all of this before then ;). I am going to stick with this one for a few months because we’re having fun with it!
