HOORAY!! Disney has announced a date for the big release of the Disney Collection by Vera Bradley. More great news: they are calling this the “initial” collection – which makes me think there will be more of these bags to come. Cathy Dawson, merchandiser for accessories at Disney Parks says, “We are thrilled to introduce Vera Bradley to our accessories assortment. In recent years, we’ve seen several guests in our parks and resorts sporting fun, colorful bags by Vera Bradley. Even our Disney Cruise Line team recently added some items by Vera Bradley to the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. We thought it would be wonderful to add a splash of Disney to these popular and colorful accessory items.”
Vera Bradley names all of her patterns and these are no exception. The black pattern is called “Midnight with Mickey,” while the pink pattern is named “Just Mousing Around.” These patterns will be seen on duffel bags, totes, cosmetic bags and more.
Earlier this year, I visited the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival to get these photos for you of the bags on display. Needless to say, I am in love with these new bags, and I hope you are too!
Guests in Florida, mark your calendars! Disney will be holding a special release party on Saturday, September 21, at the World of Disney in Downtown Disney Marketplace. The event will begin at 7:30 a.m., and will feature the first opportunity to purchase items from this new collection.
In California, guests can find these new items starting Monday, September 23, in select locations at the Disneyland Resort.
If you are unable to visit Disney Parks, no worries! Disney will be releasing the Disney Collection by Vera Bradley on the Disney Parks online store starting in October 2013.

So does this mean the Vera will be for sale in the Disney Parks beginning on the 21st as well or will they only be sold at DTD?
Right now they are saying on the 21st they will only be in Downtown Disney, but that is not to say they will never be in the parks. Sounds like a great reason to head to Downtown Disney on that day though!
I heard today when I called for reservations for Christmas that Vera Bradley was presenting another Disney bags in October. Do you anything about and when they will available?
Vera Bradley bags will be on sale online starting in late October. While there’s no firm date yet, you’ll soon be able to shop for them very soon from the comfort of your keyboard!
Just to make sure I understand then – will the Vera bags be available as of 9/21 or only at the preview party? Can you tell I’m making sure my ducks are in a row for this one? 🙂
On Sept 21st you can get them at Downtown Disney in Florida. If you wait until October, you will be able to get them online. Sorry I don’t have any further information besides that right now.

What do you think?
Will the Aulani resort carry these bags?
Not right now.
