Today’s post brings another Pandora AW17 sneak peek, with a preview of an exclusive Pandora Disney bead that’s coming up for the holiday season!

Pandora Disney 2016

We already saw a sneak peek of most of the Pandora Disney Winter 2017 collection, which brings us new characters in the form of Bambi, Thumper and Lilo & Stitch. This charm is something a little extra special for the holiday season, however, and will be presented in limited edition gift packaging as well. As far as I’m aware, it’ll be offered in all regions that currently carry the Disney line. :)

Read on for a Pandora Disney sneak peek!


Pandora Disney Limited Edition Charm 2017 Sneak Peek

The limited edition bead is a two-tone offering, which is nice to see, but does have a fair amount of pave detailing. On one side, we have Mickey Mouse in clear CZs, and on the other Minnie Mouse in red CZs.

The charm is essentially a variation on the Joined Together bead from the Pandora Valentine’s 2016 collection.

The charm will retail for $149 AUD. I don’t have a name for this bead yet, but we do have a sneak peek at the limited edition packaging it comes with! I’ve been told that the artwork on this box might not be final yet, but it certainly gives you a good idea.


My Comment

This is again not a must-have for me, as I already have a fair amount of Mickey & Minnie in my Pandora collection (mainly Minnie, tbh!), and I’m always a little leery of beads that combine gold detailing with a lot of CZs. I do like the touch of red, however, and the box is very sweet! But I’ll be sticking to Bambi and Thumper from this year’s Disney collection. :D

What do you think of this latest limited edition offering? Is it going on your wish list?

  1. Hi Ellie
    Like you it’s not a must have for me. I like the Mickey side, but I actually think the red cz on Minnie ruin the overall look. I to am a fan of Bambi and Thumper?
    Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the final Pandora rose preview?

    • Hi Janelle! Oh really? I can kind of see that they make it a bit less elegant, but I think the red is what gives it a slightly festive edge. But yes, the Bambi and Thumper beads are lovely! Can’t wait for those :D

  2. I received my Dumbo and Alice in a teacup charms from the Disney Store today.they are Beyond cute.Dumbo is so well done and Alice reminds me of being on the teacup ride with my dad :)

    • Aw, enjoy! My Dumbo is still on his way to me. I’m excited to review him! I did consider the Alice bead, as I have some fond memories of the teacup rides myself – including getting on them by myself when I got lost at a theme park when I was about six aha. I wanted to pretend that everything was okay and that I wasn’t lost, I think, haha.

  3. This one is not for me either, I don’t like the cz and gold combination at all. However I have a personal shopper at the ready to send me the thumper and bambi.

  4. I’m safe for this one, in danger of buying the Disney petite charms if I get a locket next month. I also know I’ll have to have Disney thumper! I got last years limited addition charm, one of my favourites .

    • Yes, there are a few sets of petites coming out – all Mickey and Minnie themed! I liked last year’s charm, but didn’t end up getting it as I already have quite a few Mickey/Minnie beads.

  5. I’m more of a retro Disney fan. The stories of my childhood or my son’s. Can’t wait for Bambi and Thumper. Love the Pooh offerings. But this one is not for me. I already have the one Mickey silhouette dangle, and that’s enough. I do, however, have to get the Jasmine dress and shoe to represent my granddaughter’s fave. Thanks for the sneak peek!

    • I like pretty much all of Disney’s drawn animated films – I grew up with the 90s films, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, etc., and those with some of the older classics such as Cinderella or Bambi are probably my favourites!

  6. Hi Ellie,

    I am in Europe on vacation and will be travelling home soon. I’ve enjoyed your posts, they have been a welcome respite after a long day of sightseeing. My feet feel like they are going to fall off because I want to see everything! lol. I’ve visited a few Pandora stores along the way. My husband has learned to expect at least one Pandora store per country. IDisney charms are not on my wish list but I enjoy seeing them, the Tigger charm is cute. The gold and pave mix does not appeal however, it would be easy to integrate into most bracelet designs if you aren’t into dangles or want something more dressy or two tone.
    I will be going back over your European exclusives to see if there was anything else I “needed” before I head back across the pond. I love your posts and I can’t wait to see what else you do,with your newly acquired retired haul.
    Cheers!
    Lisa

  7. I like the mickey side but not so much on minnie. I expect this one to be very costly due to the amount of gold and pave. I have the last year one and looking to get another LE to go with it and the 45th Anniversary castle in the middle. Have to look at it in person before i decide whether to get it or wait for future LE disney charm.

    • Yes, I have the price now – it is rather expensive! :( It would be fun if they did something other than Mickey/Minnie for the LE bead next year.

    • I do have a soft spot for fancy packaging, although I do manage not to let it persuade me to buy a charm I’m lukewarm about for the most part. ^^ You’re welcome!

  8. I have brought the mickey/ minnie mouse limited edition charms the past 2 years, i will not be buying it this Christmas.
    I don’t think the red, gold & silver go well together,
    I don’t think that it will be worth the price that they normally charge.
    It would not be a chrm that I would like to add to my braclet.
    Thanks very much ellie for all of your reviews.

  9. I like the silver character beads much more than beads like this one where a Moments bead is slightly altered with a Mickey or Minnie addition. So this one is definitely not on my list. I’m looking forward to seeing Bambi and Thumper.

  10. Hi Ellie,

    This charm is not for me, but I didn’t care for the original version of Joined Together either. Although I’m not a diehard Mickey/Minnie fan, I would like to have the Mickey/Minnie Ears clips for my Mickey bracelet. Soooo looking forward to seeing the complete Autumn/Winter Rose collection. BTW, like your latest bracelet on Instagram with the Shimmering Medallion. I had planned to pick up this charm during the 50% sale, but it wasn’t included here.

    • Hi Emily, no it wasn’t my favourite either. I just don’t like lots of CZ and gold together :)

      Yay, thank you! I really liked the SM last year, but it as just too pricey. I was so thrilled to see it in the sale :) I’m sure it’ll be retired in NA at some point as well, and then perhaps it’ll go on Rue or some other way that you could get it!

  11. This one won’t be on my list either. I am a huge Disney fan but feel that the dozens of Mickey and Minnie charms lack creativity. I do love the other characters though. Bambi, Thumper and LILO and Stitch are mine! I can’t wait to see whether Pandora will do a full body Simba !!!!!!! I have been waiting forever.

    • Lion King beads would be amazing! I would love to see more animals and other cute characters from the Disney back catalogue. 101 Dalmatians, Peter Pan, Aristocats, there’s so much yet to do!

  12. I will not be buying this charm either. I will definitely get the Bambi and Thumper, and heavens knows I love a lot of Disney charms, but this one is meh and does absolutely nothing for me.
    On a happier note, I just received my Dumbo charm from Disney Parks yesterday and it is adorable and I am glad I purchased it.

    • Hi Katie, glad to hear it! I can’t wait to get my Dumbo. It looks so cute from all the pictures I’ve seen ? I have a little space saved for him on my sky blue bracelet.

  13. Disney isn’t my thing, but artistically, (and my cred here is my visual art degree) :-) artistically, this charm is above some of the other Disney charms. I would have put Minnie and Mickey on opposite sides for better visual balance, but even with both on the same side, it “feels” balanced, unlike too many other Pandora charms.

    The box is hideous.

    • Hi Nicola! Haha, well it’s nice to hear from someone who does like it :) shame you won’t be to buy it in the UK!
