LOST DISNEYLAND TREASURE DISCOVERED IN THE DESERT!
For decades, Randotti souvenirs—glow-in-the-dark skulls, tombstones, tikis, and more—were an iconic part of Disneyland's gift shops, sold from the 1950s through the early 1990s. Though once a must-have park souvenir, these unique creations have faded into obscurity, overshadowed by modern collectibles. Still, for those in the know, Randotti’s Disneyland souvenirs—whether Haunted Mansion tombstones, Pirates of the Caribbean skulls, or Adventureland tikis—remain some of the most desirable and legendary Disneyland collectibles ever made.
But what happened to the original molds that made them?
A lead in Phoenix hinted at something unbelievable—but I had no idea if I’d even get to see them, let alone confirm they were real. What I uncovered was a Disneyland collector’s dream—a hidden stash of original Randotti molds that had been forgotten for decades.
And now? These molds are about to resurface, and their return could change the collector’s market forever.
But what did I walk away with? That… remains a mystery.
This is one of the biggest Disneyland collecting discoveries in years—a piece of the park’s past that was thought to be lost forever… until now.
