Harry Styles Pleased Us: Lifestyle Brand Pop-up Store ‘Disney FANTASIA x Pleasing’ Collaboration at Disney Springs. If you did not arrive at Disney Springs by 9:00 AM EST this morning your wait time was guaranteed to be long to get inside the new pop-up store located in the old NBA Experience at Disney Springs. We can honestly say we dragged our feet leaving the house this morning, simply because we did not know how big a crowd would show up, so when we arrived at 10:00 AM exactly at the front of the store, we were greeted with a massive line and a Virtual Queue set up with a minimum wait time of five hours.
The Cast Member quoted five hours, and wouldn’t ya know it, exactly five hours later we got our VQ call-back time. Fair Warning: There is no Virtual Queue QR code and it is not listed on the Walt Disney World App, you must be there in person for a Cast Member to sign you up.
Why the long wait times? Well, apparently I learned something new today. Harry Styles’s unisex lifestyle brand Pleasing is in demand. So when it was announced he would be collaborating with Disney, his fans were really excited and wanted to be the first with his new Disney FANTASIA x Pleasing collection. The new items ranged from the cheap end for nail polish which costs $16.00 to Hoodies and Bags that can go up to $289.00. The beach towels I liked were $85.00.
The collaboration features a range of apparel, accessories, nail polish, and skincare products featuring beloved characters and imagery from the 1940 Disney classic. Highlights of the collection include a Sorcerer Mickey hoodie, T-shirts, sweatpants, tote bags, socks, towels, and journals adorned with famous figures from the film.

“From the beginning, Fantasia has been a constant inspiration for Pleasing,” said Harry Lambert, Creative Director of Pleasing talking to WWD. “The aesthetics, the mood, the bold illustrations, the colors, and the epic world Disney created resonated deeply with our brand. Fantasia feels very similar in terms of its overall aesthetic and musical influence, making it the perfect partner for this collaboration.”
The Pleasing x Fantasia collection will be available starting October 4th on pleasing.com and disneystore.com. Fans will also have the opportunity to shop the collection in-store at select Disney stores in the United States.
