In January 2015, Steven Miller, Disney Park Merchandising, shared a first look that some of the new dolls that were created especially for Disney Parks called “Disney Attractionistas.” Yesterday, Steven shared that first four dolls in the Disney Attractionistas collection are now available at Disney Parks.

According to Victoria Hamilton, merchandiser for dolls and plush,  “Disney Attractionistas are special friends that love to be together at Disney Parks every chance they get,” explained Victoria. “As the story goes, each Attractionista wished to be part of their favorite attraction, and that it could be a part of them. Once their wishes came true, they were magically transformed with attire inspired by those various attractions. These 12-inch fashion dolls come with detailed clothing, a special animal sidekick and a fun story on the back of the packaging about things each doll enjoys. I think these dolls make great companions for any guest who loves Disney Parks.”

The first four Attractionistas were inspired by classic Disney attractions such as Mad Tea Party (Maddie), Space Mountain (Celeste), The Haunted Mansion (Gracey) and Pirates of the Caribbean (Pearl).
