Disney Parks Mickey Mouse 2004 Celebration Plush
Disney / Disney Parks · Toys & Games > Plushies
Era / Decade
Early 2000s (specifically 2004). Dating clues include the year embroidered on the hat and the 'Disney Parks' style of souvenir apparel worn by the character.
Material
Polyester fibers and plastic pellets; velvet-like plush fur, screen-printed jersey fabric for the hoodie and sneakers, and plastic/stiffened fabric for the hat brim.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The plush appears clean with intact stitching. There is minor pilling on the grey sweatshirt fabric. The thrift tag is attached to the ear which can leave residue if removed improperly.
Demand Level
Niche/Moderate. There is a specific market for 'Year' plushies for birthdays or anniversary gifts, but general Mickey plushies are oversaturated.

Description
Authentic Disney Parks souvenir plush featuring Mickey Mouse dressed in 2004 commemorative gear. Mickey is wearing a grey drawstring hoodie, purple shorts, a matching 2004 baseball cap, and stylized sneakers with 'Disney' swirl patterns. Approximately 8-10 inches tall. Perfect for Disney year-of-birth collectors or nostalgic park-goers.
Key Features
Year-specific commemorative item; highly detailed outfit including a crossbody bag and drawstring hoodie; 'Disney Parks' exclusive branding; appeal to 'Year of Birth' collectors (children born in 2004).
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Disney Parks plush toys feature specific embroidery quality, high-density screen printing on accessories, and typically have a 'Disney Parks' or 'Walt Disney World/Disneyland' tush tag. The design matches official 2004 park merchandise.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface wear/fuzziness on the sweatshirt; potential adhesive residue from the large thrift store price sticker on the ear; no original cardboard hang tags visible.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari are best for this. These platforms have a robust 'Disneyana' collector base and allow for easy keyword searching by year.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Disney', '2004 Mickey', and 'Souvenir Plush'. Carefully remove the thrift sticker with a hairdryer or Goo Gone (sparingly) to avoid damaging the ear fabric. Photograph the tush tag to prove authenticity. Shipping in a poly mailer via USPS Ground Advantage is the most cost-effective method.
