Disney My little ponies?

[NsMLPonies]

Hi!

Does anyone know what line the disney My little ponies belong to? I've been seeing a lot of minnie mouse outfits for the ponies. could anyone possibly tell me what line these ponies belong to?

[LadyMoondancer]

If they are G3 outfits, they came from Disney's Build-a-Pony feature at DisneyWorld.    They had various outfits mimicking the outfits of Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, etc.  The ponies offered at Build-a-Pony were just a selection of regular G3 ponies, not exclusives or anything.  I know Cinnamon Breeze was one of them and I think Breezie might have been another.

Yes, what Lady Moondancer said   For a limited time in around 2009, if you visited the Once Upon A Toy store in Disney World, you could pay a fixed price to fill a small box with as many ponies and Disney themed accessories as you could fit in the box.  The available ponies were Cinnamon Breeze, Banjo Blue, Golden Delicious, and Spring Parade.  The only variation I know of from the store releases is that the Disney ponies have a special sequence of numbers printed under a hoof.  In addition, there were 4 boxed ponies dressed as Disney princesses also sold at the Disney park (or available through Hasbrotoyshop).  These ponies were Minty, Pinkie Pie, Kimono, and Sparkleworks.

Thanks everyone! You could fill a box with princess ponies? That sounds amazing!
I'll go research the outfits some more. I might need a couple of Minnie mouse costumes. Lol.

Yes, it was a box that resembled a regular G3 box.    The toy store had a "station" set up where there were bunches of loose accessories and the 4 different ponies that you can fill up the box with.  They were like the regular release ponies, but you could dress them up to look like a variety of Disney princesses.   I visited Disney World while the ponies were there and took photos.  I may have to dig them up, but if I can find them I will post them here for you to see!

There were regular G3 accessories too, like parts from Moondancer's slumber party pack and a few others.  Most of the pieces were exclusive though, and quite cute!

No problem!  Here are some pics.  A couple are watermarked but you can still get the idea

Here is Sweetberry dressed as Minnie outside of the toy store   Sweetberry was not sold at Disney World, but her outfit was part of Build-A-Pony.

The Build-A-Pony room was so magical!  Each "chute" had different accessories you could choose from to fill up your box.

The Disney ponies have a sequence of numbers under their feet that the regular release ponies do not have.

A close up of some accessories.  While many accessories were unique, as Baby Sugarberry said some accessories were re-used from other store-bought sets.  A few of these accessories had Disney logos on them.

And these are the 4 boxed ponies that were also sold at Disney.  They were not part of the Build-A-Pony station, but they could be bought separately.

Wonderful photos, Brightglowpony!! Thanks for sharing

[Brightglowpony]

You are welcome and I'm so glad you enjoyed them!!!  Wish that display could have stayed up longer, or forever!

I remember seeing this when I went to the parks in 2007!  I thought it was super cute.   
However, it was difficult to find every accessory that you might be trying to grab.

IIRC, the accessories were around for a few years and there were variations on what was available and when it was available.  Based on google, it lasted from 2005 until 2010? 

The pony wiki has some information, as well:

As a side note, the boxed ponies dressed as princesses were available in other Disney parks - Disneyland had them, as well as Disneyworld - but the Build A Pony display was only at Downtown Disney (now Disney Springs) in Florida

Gee was it a flat-rate sorta deal or did they charge by the accessory?  That box looks pretty stuffed.

What a great idea and it shows that a Disney/Hasbro collaboration is possible so who knows what might happen someday.

Thanks for sharing the wonderful pics!

The idea was that you pay a certain amount and then you fill the box until its full. So if you were smart you put the small items and the clothes flat on the bottom and then the larger items/pony
I have seen the same system with Mr. Potato head in a Disney park many years ago.

Luckily a lot of the disney outfits are still available through sources like ebay

Oh wow, that must have been a fun time!  It makes me wonder just how much you could get away with when stuffing those boxes. The accessory chutes are amazing!
