Two new 2026 ornaments have made their way to Disneyland. These follow two other 2026 ornaments we found earlier this month. Light-Up Sleeping Beauty Castle Ornament – $29.99 Mickey and Minnie figures are in front of a flat Sleeping Beauty Castle. The base is teal with light-up starbursts and “2026.”The back is relatively plain other than a few more starbursts. A power switch and battery compartment are on the bottom. Mickey & Minnie Frame Ornament – $26.99If you’d like to frame a Disney memory, we also found this 2026 frame ornament. In the center, it features a frame with the Disneyland logo and “2026” written on the front. Minnie Mouse can be seen in the ear design on the right side, and Mickey is on the left ear. In the center is artwork of Cinderella Castle. On the back is a stand, in case you don’t want to hang your ornament, and the fastener for the picture frame.We found both at World of Disney in Downtown Disney.
