Vintage memorabilia is all the rage, these days. A retro line featuring tee shirts and hats with colorful 70s designs has been available at Walt Disney World Resort and on shopDisney for some time. While these new designs are enticing, many of us long for authentically vintage Disney items. Here, we’re going to share some original retro Disney items currently for sale on eBay! Keep in mind, these products will likely be available for a limited time only.
Orange Bird Shirt (Large) – $65.00 USD
Orange Bird, the beloved Disney character, is as classic as you can get. This ringer tee features orange ribbing for the collars and sleeves, and displays Orange Bird with Mickey Mouse ears sitting inside of a letter D. The back of the shirt features a symbol for Walt Disney World’s 40th Anniversary. Okay, so it’s not quite vintage, but it certainly gives off the impression. The seller notes that the shirt is used. The starting bid begins at $65.00 USD, but buyers may choose to purchase immediately for $90.00 USD. Click here to view.

According to the seller, the used book is in fair condition. The starting bid is only 99 cents! Click here to view.
Youth Figment EPCOT Center Cap – $50.00 USD
Figment, the purple dragon, may be more beloved than Orange Bird! Figment first appeared in the attraction Jouney into Imagination in 1983. This cap must have been released around that time, because the theme park dropped the “center” from its official name in 1994. This white cotton cap features Figment himself, with a paintbrush in hand. The space beside the character features the original name of the park: EPCOT Center. You can get this cap today for $50.00 USD or best offer. Click here to view.

DisneyQuest Adventurer’s Map – $21.99 USD
