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. Be aware that it’s way more of an experience box than a value box. My November 2015 Souvenir Only – “Just Right” ($49.99) box contained the following items:
~Disney World Ornament by Derrick Lirette ($24.95): I absolutely love Christmas ornaments and pick one up every place I go on vacation – including Disney World. And I know from experience that Disney ornaments are not cheap! I love this one and can’t wait to put it on my tree tonight. I should warn you though that Disney ornaments (including this one) are heavy, so make sure you sure it well!
~Ink & Paint Vinylmation ($12.95): I love these too! I believe they were released in 2014 and have in a variety of different Disney characters. They are blind boxes though, so you don’t know which you will get until you open it. We happened to get Donald Duck, but would have been happy with any of them.
All totaled I came up with a value of $37.90 for the November 2015 Mickey Monthly. I really liked this box, but for me, the value just isn’t enough to make it worth it. I understand it won’t meet the cost of the box, but I really wish it could get closer!
