Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about what happens to all those misplaced Minnie Mouse ears, Wall-E plush dolls, or nearly full autograph books that get lost at Disneyland? Well, your dream of scoring these magical treasures at a fraction of their original price is about to come true! Yes, you heard it right: you can now snag these delightful items for up to 90% off their retail prices at a thrilling blowout sale in a Santa Ana thrift store just a short drive from Disneyland.
This isn’t just any sale—it’s the Disneyland Lost and Found Sale, open to the public on Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Goodwill of Orange County Marketplace in Santa Ana. Disneyland employees and their guests get an early bird special from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., while the doors open to everyone else at 11 a.m. With no need for reservations for the general public, you might even get lucky and be let in earlier if cast members have all checked in!
But be prepared for a bit of a wait, as this sale is incredibly popular—long lines are the norm, and the parking lot fills up quickly. It’s well worth the patience, though. Most of the items, including gently used or nearly new hats, headbands, sunglasses, plush dolls, and even overstock items still sporting their original price tags, are available in the $3 to $5 range! Considering that park prices for similar items can run up to $35, it’s a treasure trove of Disney bargains.
The sale inventory is a whimsical collection of Disney memorabilia like headbands, plush dolls, autograph books, bubble wands, and even lightsabers. You might pick up a Disneyland hat for just $5, a fraction of the $25 or $35 you’d pay inside the parks.
Mark your calendars and set your alarms, Mickey fans! Head over to 2702 W. 5th Street in Santa Ana to experience this enchanting sale. Don’t forget to share your magical finds and experiences in the comments below—we’d love to hear all about it!
