Disney World is pretty much always on my mind and I thought I’d do a short blog post on the Pandora Disney Muranos, as I know it’s very exciting for people overseas to be getting the Disney beads in the fall. Hopefully you get the Muranos as I think they are so pretty. I have heard the date October 5th for the UK. Some people have used personal shoppers to pick up some beads, but nothing beats seeing something in real life! I have a very small Disney bead collection so far, just a few Muranos, plus Daisy Duck, a Mickey Mouse dangle and Spaceship Earth, which I bought while there at Christmas time.
I think any collector who enjoys glass would like the Muranos. They also glow in the dark and I actually had to cover them a couple of times while on dark rides at the theme park!
Below left to right are Tinker Bell, Elsa, Belle, Anna (that one I bought last week) and Cinderella.
With the bead community’s monthly theme on Instagram being rainbows for August, I snagged a photo at the beach with a striped umbrella way in the background.
My Minnie Mouse Murano is kind of an orphan bead, so I will often put it with classic red Pandora beads like this one here. These are Trollbeads pearls.
The Elsa Murano is truly a beautiful, frozen ice pale blue and blends in with other pastel colours. Here I’ve paired it with a Purple Shimmer and Mint Shimmer.
I will confess to having two Belle Muranos and I used them with a mix of beads at Magic Kingdom. The bead in the middle is a True Beadz True Taste Blue Sky.
I decided to keep the Belle Muranos loose in order to use them more, as they go really well with the Trollbeads Gold Silver Trace beads, so I had to rearrange my ‘keep together’ bracelet. There are two Redbalifrog beads on here but I think they blend in beautifully. They are Daisy Chain, front right and Mushroom Pod on the front left.
The Anna bead is quite an interesting reddish pink. I like it with the Pandora Opalescent Pink Geometric Facets.
Lastly, I wore this bangle with Daisy Duck the other day. I hope this was enjoyable for the people who will soon be getting some of these beads in their country. I think these Muranos in particular are so lovely. Does anyone else collect beads from the Disney collection?
So pretty Martha! I admit I haven’t been feeling Pandora’s upcoming releases much, but I have always wanted a couple of Cinderella and Tinker Bell muranos! I think they add just the right touch of color and are among Pandora’s nicest (and simplest) glass!

Often simple is best, isn’t it Tanya? I bought that pink flowery glass one when it came out this spring but rarely use it as it’s so busy looking, but I use these all the time. They blend in with so many different things, including Trollbeads.

I have all the Princess muranos and love them. Are they ever coming out with one for Pocahontas? She is the only one missing and a copper shimmering bead would be gorgeous!

Hi Martha, I have been wanting to do a Mickey and Minnie bracelet for quite a while now. The thing is I find myself moving away from Pandora which incidentally was the brand I started with. I have one bracelet of retired charms that stays together and I am still working on an Asian themed bracelet. I don’t care for the pave and the cubic zirconia, so whatever I put together is certainly going to be limited.

Hi Suzanne! I have two bracelets I keep together, this one and a silver one. I would like to work on an Asian themed one also, but that would be a long term project. I think we all have lots of ideas floating about our heads, but limited funds!
