The 2026 LEGO Disney Advent Calendar, officially named the LEGO Disney Princess Advent Calendar and carrying set number 43298, is priced at 62.99 CAD on LEGO's own Canadian shop for 290 pieces and rated ages 5 and up. Some U.S. retailers list the same set closer to 34.99 to 44.99 USD, so the exact price does vary by currency and retailer, but 62.99 CAD is the confirmed figure straight from LEGO's official Canadian storefront.
Unlike the standard minifigure or minidoll format used in the rest of this year's lineup, Disney uses microdolls, a smaller-scale character format specific to LEGO's Disney Princess line. Four are confirmed: Ariel, Cinderella, Moana, and Mulan.
Each microdoll comes paired with their signature animal companion: Sebastian for Ariel, Gus for Cinderella, Pua for Moana, and Mushu for Mulan, giving the set eight named characters total across just four calendar doors.
What actually sets this calendar apart from the rest of the 2026 lineup, though, isn't the character format. It's a genuinely novel mechanic: once every door is open, the box itself transforms into a playable board game.
Ariel and Sebastian, Cinderella and Gus, Moana and Pua, and Mulan and Mushu each appear as paired reveals rather than standalone characters. That pairing structure means every princess included gets a companion figure alongside her rather than existing on her own.
Four princesses is a smaller headline character count than Marvel's six minifigures, but the microdoll-plus-animal-friend format effectively doubles the total figure count to eight once every companion is included.
Beyond the four princess-and-animal pairings, the remaining doors reveal a mix of builds tied to specific movies: a piano, a gingerbread castle, a campfire with marshmallows, a fireplace with a wreath, and a micro-Christmas tree are among the confirmed reveals.
Other doors include a toy train, a spinning dance floor, a music stand, a gong, a small stage, drums, and a palm tree, giving the set a genuinely varied mix of builds rather than repeating a single visual theme across all 24 doors.
Once every door has been opened and every piece built, the emptied Advent Calendar box unfolds into a game board, complete with a buildable spinner, designed for up to eight players. It's the single feature that separates this calendar most clearly from every other 2026 theme.
No other 2026 LEGO Advent Calendar turns its own packaging into a functioning board game once the countdown ends. City's playmat comes closest as a reused-box mechanic, but Disney's version goes a step further by including an actual playable game structure with a spinner.
Most Advent Calendars, LEGO or otherwise, treat the box as disposable packaging once the last door is opened. Disney's calendar is built with the opposite assumption: the box has a second life as the actual centerpiece activity for the rest of the holiday season and beyond.
That extends the calendar's usefulness well past December 24th, giving it standalone value as a genuine family game rather than ending its usefulness the moment the last door is opened.
At 62.99 CAD, Disney sits at the same price tier as Star Wars and Marvel, but its format, microdolls instead of minifigures, and its board-game mechanic make it the most structurally different calendar in this year's five-theme lineup.
Collectors deciding between Disney and the other calendars should weigh the board-game feature heavily, it's a genuine point of differentiation rather than a marketing detail, and it's not replicated anywhere else in the 2026 collection.
Because this set is a licensed Disney product sold through multiple channels, pricing isn't perfectly uniform the way it is for LEGO's own in-house themes. LEGO's official Canadian shop lists it at 62.99 CAD, while some U.S. retail listings show figures closer to 34.99 to 44.99 USD for what appears to be the same 290-piece set.
For a Canadian buyer specifically, the 62.99 CAD figure from LEGO's own storefront is the number to plan around, rather than a USD price seen on a different retailer's site that may not reflect currency conversion, regional pricing, or shipping costs.

No, it uses a smaller-scale microdoll format specific to the Disney Princess line.
Eight named characters across four pairings deserve a proper spot once the board game comes out for the season. An EVORETRO Lego Mini-figurine Display Case works well for figures this size and keeps the full set visible between game nights.
