Shop Our Editors’ Most-Loved Picks From the Lilly Pulitzer x Disney Drop
Going somewhere warm for the holidays with your family? If the answer is “no” this year, Lilly Pulitzer has you covered with a sunny new collection that lets you skip the trip to Disney while making the kids just as (if not more, dare we say) thrilled.
Enter: The Lilly Pulitzer x Disney collaboration, which harnesses the heritage label’s resort-coded aesthetic and channels it in the form of 11 steal-worthy pieces for women and children, bound to spark mommy-and-me matching moments that will have you running for the camera.
A never-before-seen print is introduced as part of this project. Called Mickey’s Island Escapade, it’s marked by Lilly’s signature suns, palm trees, and ocean motifs, as well as playful touches like giraffes and Mickey enjoying fun times in the sunshine with his sweetheart. As you can imagine, the color palette here (yellows, blues, pinks, and greens) is nothing short of dazzling, allowing you and your daughter to spend winter swathed in something that inspires instant optimism.
You’ll be all smiles once you stock up on these new Lilly Pulitzer x Disney arrivals.

As for the exact pieces to shop first, we recommend turning your attention to the Eleni Dress (which actually made it onto WWD Shop’s best gifts for wives roundup in 2025). It’s a quarter-zip style crafted out of French terry that skims the bod, features pull-on-and-go ease, and has a sporty side to it that just might convince you to get more serious about pickleball. Looking for a shorts and pullover set that can be worn all year long, depending on what climate you live in? (If you reside in Lilly Pulitzer’s native Palm Beach, even better.) The Loxley Knit Short is a no-brainer buy, what with its four-inch inseam, breathability, and adjustable, drawstring-based fit. But no shorts pair is complete without an accompanying top, just like Mickey is not complete without Minnie. That’s why our team has major heart eyes for the Eleni Pullover from Lilly Pulitzer, which you’ll be tempted to throw on over every camisole, tee, and sports bra from hereon out.
The latter two made-for-women picks have their very own fit-for-kiddos counterparts, as it turns out: the Girls Mini Kylar Short and Girls Mini Eleni Terry Pullover (which has already sold out of its smallest size). These selections will never feel stuffy or constraining to your picky little dresser, and she’ll soon start reaching for the bestsellers when curating her very own ensembles, all while catching constant glimpses of the beloved Disney characters.
In a mood to slumber all day, to the tune of conversations held by cartoon mice? You’ll find a lot to adore in Lilly Pulitzer’s new pajamas, which consist of the cotton poplin Elly Pajama Boxer, boasting a striped print overlaid with the Disney icons in question, as well as the Mari Pajama Button-Up Shirt, which will have you feeling like you’re staying in a posh (albeit not adults-only) hotel.
Absolutely everything in this drop benefits from the kind of attention to detail, aesthetic vibrancy, and classiness that Lilly Pulitzer is known for — and which you should expect from its spring 2026 collection, too.
Because the earlier you introduce your daughter to the brand that’s become synonymous with easy-going sophistication, the sooner she’ll become a tastemaker in her own right. Just like Mom.
