It's time for the 5th annual Magical Trash Year-in-Review, where we take a look at trash cans at the Disney theme parks and resorts worldwide. Yes, it's a weird idea, but you are going to keep reading, right? (View previous Year-in-Reviews) Some may note that it's been a somewhat rocky year for the Mouse, but trash can activity has been strong. As we've seen in previous years, this year's additions were primarily driven by attraction openings, including Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway at Disneyland, the opening of the World of Frozen in Hong Kong, and the arrival of the Zootopia in Shanghai. Unfortunately, we also saw the fastest introduction-to-removal can timeline with the closing of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser - which had opened just a year earlier at Walt Disney World. Over the past year, MagicalTrash.com celebrated the 1,000 trash can photo milestone (only took 14 years!), while adding over 100 new entries. This was complimented by 1,600+ posts across social media networks, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky. Posts were also added to Twitter/X, but frankly it's hard to continue supporting that platform due to its overall decline on many fronts (and I say that as someone who works in corporate social media professionally!). For 2023, Magical Trash tracked 16 substantial trash can design changes, a 14% increase vs. 2022's 14 tracked changes:

Added: 14

Historical Cans Added: 4

Updated: 0

Endangered: 0

Removed: 2

The US-based parks saw the most activity, with Disneyland Resort experiencing 6 changes, while Walt Disney World recorded 4 changes. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Disneyland Paris Resort both recorded 2 updates, and Shanghai Disney Resort saw 1 new addition. No notable changes were recorded for Tokyo Disney Resort or Disney Cruise Line.

Here's a detailed breakdown of updates:

ADDED New trash can designs that debuted in Disney theme parks over the past year

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (El CapiTOON Theater) - NEW Disneyland, Mickey’s Toontown With a movie theater setting, iconography is anchored by a popcorn bucket image with large “EC” letters.  

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (M.A.G.I.C.) - NEW Disneyland, Mickey’s Toontown Outside the attraction are cans associated with M.A.G.I.C. - short for the Municipal Agency of Garbage Identification and Collection. Now that's a group we want to join!  

World of Frozen (Arendelle Crest) - NEW - NEW Hong Kong Disneyland, World of Frozen The official crest of Arendelle features a crocus - a multi-color flowering bulb that typically blooms in the spring - and seen throughout the Frozen franchise.  

World of Frozen (Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs) - NEW Hong Kong Disneyland, World of Frozen Furthering the rugged forest theme of the family coaster, decorative Scandinavian folk art patterns are found throughout queue, with geometric shapes highlighted in red, green, and orange hues.  

Zootopia - NEW Shanghai Disneyland, Zootopia A surprising entry to Shanghai's bland trash can scene, green trash cans with zebra-like stripes on the lower portion combine with a city emblem.  

San Fransokyo Square - NEW Disney California Adventure, San Fransokyo Square The shoehorned Big Hero 6 retheme of DCA's Pacific Wharf gave us new cans that looked a lot like the old cans - but with bonus "SFS" branding. Ho hum.  

Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana - NEW Walt Disney World, Epcot, World Nature You can tell this is a modern Disney attraction because the name is an IP-laden paragraph. Lots of storytelling to explain "scenery."  

Parkside Market - NEW Disneyland Resort, Downtown Disney Probably one of the more visually-stunning additions in 2023, Mickey Mouse + mid-century design. Simple concept, well-executed.  

The Villas at Disneyland Hotel - NEW Disneyland Resort, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel New DVC borrows much of its design from Aulani. Not ugly, but also not magical. Were these picked out of a catalog?  

Pixar Place Hotel - NEW Disneyland Resort, Pixar Place Hotel The retime of Disneyland's Paradise Pier Hotel features trash cans very similar in design to those implemented at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel. Maybe they got a 2-for-1 deal?  

Disneyland Paris Reusable Tableware Cans - NEW Disneyland Paris, Adventureland France's Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Law is focused on phasing out improper disposal of waste. Food service at the French parks has implemented reusable table settings, which has impacted trash can design.  

"Fantasyland 2" Backstage - NEW Disneyland Paris, Fantasyland A backstage can makes an appearance onstage as a support trash can from the “Fantasyland 2” zone, parked where everyone can see.  

Pym Test Kitchen Food Waste - NEW Disney California Adventure, Avengers Campus After debuting combination food waste trash cans in Tomorrowland around 2021, Disneyland expanded the practice to the Avengers Campus at DCA.  

Jollywood Nights Temporary Media Can - NEW Disney's Hollywood Studios, Grand Avenue Throw a sticker on an existing trash can and it's something new! Temporarily rethemed can at Disney's Hollywood Studios during a media event for Jollywood Nights holiday entertainment.  

HISTORICAL CANS ADDED Retro trash can designs that were unearthed by new research this year, but are no longer in use

MK Main Street (1974) - HISTORICAL ADDITION Magic Kingdom, Main Street U.S.A. Early years of the Magic Kingdom featured very detailed trash cans on Main Street U.S.A, often in multiple colors. Quite a contrast from the undecorated brown cans used in the 2000s.  

Farmer's Market (Late-1980s/Early-1990s) - HISTORICAL ADDITION Epcot, Future World, The Land The famed umbrella tables at The Land found their shapes emulated via the trash cans, which were primarily brown with light tan arches represented on all sides.  

River Country (2010) - HISTORICAL ADDITION Walt Disney World, Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground 9 years after the water park closed, remnants of the ‘Ol’ Swimmin’ Hole’ could still be spotted at Fort Wilderness.  

Mulholland Madness (2007) - HISTORICAL ADDITION Disney's California Adventure, Paradise Pier Tacky theme was on-point for DCA 1.0. This green can with road sign decal found a home in Paradise Pier.  

UPDATED Existing trash can designs that have been modified or revised in the past year

None for 2023  

ENDANGERED Trash can designs that still exist, but will most likely disappear in the future

None for 2023  

REMOVED Trash can designs that have been eliminated from use at Disney theme parks

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (Interior) - REMOVED Walt Disney World, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser The in-wall trash cans for the 100-cabin Corellian MPO-1400 model Galactic Starcruiser were in use for just 579 days.  

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (Terminal) - REMOVED Walt Disney World, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser You won't be needing to dispose of your garbage before boarding the MPO-1400 Star Cruiser Halcyon, as these cans will probably have a longer life than the hotel ever had.  

One massive disappointment in 2023 was Walt Disney World's opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland. Generic silver cans, thus reinforcing WDW's continual cheapening out on themed trash can design. Paul Pressler called and even he thinks you can do better.

Here at Magical Trash we celebrated our 14-year anniversary covering the world of Disney trash cans, which included keeping up with various salt shaker merchandise releases that showcase the iconic can shape. 6 new designs were released during festivals: The Dude with the Food (DCA Food & Wine 2023), Amazingly Sweet (DCA Food & Wine 2023), Groovy Garden Orange Bird (Epcot Flower & Garden 2023), Stuck on Imagination Figment (Epcot Flower & Garden 2023), Chef Mickey (Epcot Food & Wine 2023), and Spaceship Earth (Epcot Food & Wine 2023).

If you happened to be at Tokyo Disneyland, you could have picked up a mini figure version of a Tomorrowland trash can or a TDS trash can toy. In the U.S. you could pick up a shirt or water bottle with a recycling can image proclaiming that you "Love Our Disney Parks" -- Disneyland or WDW-specific versions. There was plenty of trash can auction action as well.

Thanks to everyone who contributed photos, visited MagicalTrash.com, and interacted with this weird hobby over the past year. You've put a smile on my face as we all follow this goofy passion. As it's impossible to be omnipresent at 12 theme parks and numerous resorts around the world, let us know what we've missed! Thanks for an interesting year, CanFans! - Steve Tanner, your Magical Trash host

“Especially if you come from an immigrant background, if you are Latino or an immigrant, it’s validating,” she says. “He puts a spotlight on them and treats them with respect, and you’re reminded of something that we shouldn’t need to be reminded of — that these are human beings who live whole lives.”

It’s common to hear politicians talk about desperate migrants at the border. But it’s rare to see positive portrayals of immigrants, and even rarer for them to be depicted experiencing joy, Molina says.

But in Morales’ Disneyland videos, happiness is a common theme that resonates with viewers — and catches them by surprise.

“Where else are we going to get these images? You sure aren’t going to get them on the big screen,” Molina says. “The representation of Latinos has not changed in almost two decades. They make up an average of 4% of speaking roles, and when they do they’re often depicted as criminals or housekeepers, as low-wage service workers who have no voice. They’re just these flat stereotypes. And these videos bring them out as human beings, living three-dimensional lives, that just experience so much joy.”

A hotel housekeeper smiles and tears up as she watches a parade float featuring Miguel from “Coco.”

“I don’t remember the last time I’ve had a day for myself,” she says.

An older man wearing Mickey Mouse ears admits he’s surprised by what he’s seen. “I’ve never had an experience like this, even as a kid,” he says. “I feel very happy.”

A landscaper who recently lost his job is shown shaking hands with Cinderella’s fairy godmother.

And in one video, a worker tells Morales he helped build part of the park, but never had a chance to visit as a guest.

Disneyland isn’t the only place Morales has taken the subjects of his videos. Some of his social media posts also feature visits to sporting events, music festivals and product launches. But there’s something about the Disney videos that’s particularly captured the attention of viewers — and Morales, too.

Even the men who started out their day with puzzled scowls in Morales’ back seat are later shown wearing Mickey Mouse ears and squealing like children on roller coasters.

“That’s the thing that always gets me,” Morales says, “seeing or hearing them laughing.”

So think of it like. Instead of we live in Anaheim, home to DisneyL, we live where Disney pulls all its ideas from. Including our names. And DOBs. And streets, clearly. Which if you know the right folks, is a bit like universal studios.

Latest Disney News: Star Wars Hotel Closes, Genie+ Problems, NEW Disneyl...

[liquor-sex-riot]

Esta es 70th Peter Pan anniversary Thinker Bell Disney LE (Imagen by Serena, a friend) con un precio de 149.99 USD, me hace poner en perspectiva si debería comer este mes. Usualmente no me quejo de los precios de las muñecas de colección de Disney puesto que la calidad, la mayoría de las veces, es acorde al precio. Sin embargo, para esta muñeca en especifico, me siento en una encrucijada, Si, ya se, un termino bastante serio cuando el tema es sobre básicamente un juguete glorificado. 

La competencia en el mercado de muñecas esta en auge en este momento con el regreso de Monster High y Bratz, y aunque Disney siempre ha estado a la cabeza con sus ediciones limitadas, las demás marcas ofrecen precios mas competitivos en sus propias ediciones especiales. Mi problema en esta ocasión seria que como buena ciudadana de a pie con un salario apenas suficiente para vivir y darme algunos gustos, el si quiera considerar gastar casi 720 mil COP en Thinker bell suena bizarro, y no por que sea un juguete.

Las LE previas a Thinker bell han rondado los 130 USD, Y las ultimas han sido personajes que han tenido pocas muñecas, como Esmeralda o Kida de Atlantis, una de mis favoritas y una de mis mas preciadas posesiones ya que fue un problema desde la compra hasta que llego a mi casa. ¿Pero vale Thinker bell la pena? ¿Vale mas que las anteriores?

Y, yo diría que si, si tenemos en cuenta el aumento en los costos de producción y de materiales, el alza en los precios es algo que estábamos esperando desde principios de Enero. Por ahora pensar en un gasto tan grande me estresa un poco, el FOMO siempre es una constante cuando se habla de ediciones limitadas. Seria una compra que me haría inmensamente feliz, pero aun siento algo de culpa por hacer un gasto así, creo que aun tengo muy interiorizada la idea de que gastar en “juguetes” es estúpido. No quisiera concluir en una nota tan pesimista así que añadiré que sin importar la decisión que tome, probablemente hare lo que me haga mas feliz.
