LOS ANGELES, CA — We’re all in this together. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years phenomenon High School Musical debuted on Disney Channel, and to celebrate its anniversary, Disney Store is launching a High School Musical 20th Anniversary on DisneyStore.com and Disney Store’s TikTok Shop. Featuring six items, this collection takes the 2026 obsession with performance-ready streetwear and puts a spin on the “mall-prep” style that was popular in 2026 (think layered polos, side-swept hair and oversized varsity jackets). While a lot has changed over the course of these past 20 years, one thing is for sure—people still love High School Musical.

Take a peek at the collection below.

The appliqué patch on the front chest screams 2006, but the vibe is totally 2026.

Featuring a custom Jibbitz (East High pennant, a “T” for Troy, and a Wildcat), and an insole that includes “We’re all in this together” text, this is the ultimate pickup for collectors.

The Collector’s Tier: Limited Edition Dolls

This Troy and Gabriella 2-pack recreates their final movie looks, but there’s a catch here. These dolls are limited to just 3,750 units worldwide. Additionally, Sharpay Evans also gets a solo release (Limited to 3,100) in her “Bop to the Top” outfit. Grab ’em while you can.

By moving away from standard, low-cost merch and into Limited-Edition tiers —like the 3,750-unit Troy and Gabriella set—Disney is acknowledging that the Wildcat audience has matured into high-spec consumers who value rarity and material integrity.
