Looking to grab some of the latest and greatest (and most exclusive) Disney merchandise? Then you’ll probably be making your way to shopDisney early in the morning for the release of popular collections like the Stitch Crashes Disney series and more.
With the Mickey Mouse: Main Attraction collection and likely other limited-edition items coming soon, you might be wondering just how Disney is managing the big crowds that can flood their website. Well, we’ve seen some methods used in the past, and now things have changed just a bit!
For previous limited edition or limited release items or merchandise that Disney expects will sell out quickly, Disney has sometimes utilized an online waiting room. When the waiting room is in effect, guests visiting shopDisney will be placed in a waiting room and then given a certain amount of time to shop once they’re allowed to enter the site.
In the past, the waiting room has looked much like the image below.
But today, when the Stitch Crashes Disney Pocahontas collection released online, we noticed that things looked DIFFERENT! Today’s waiting room featured different images and colorful backgrounds. It also noted when the event would start and what the product availability looked like.Â
That’s a great benefit because if you’re shopping for a particular item and it has already sold out, the page should display that, saving you valuable time and effort.
The waiting room also shared how many users were in front of us in line, which can be helpful in giving you an idea of how many people are shopping and how much longer you may have to wait. Overall, we didn’t wait long to get into the website.
Though the page noted that we would have 10 minutes to shop once we were allowed into the website, we didn’t experience an issue staying on shopDisney for longer than that. Just be sure to check and see how things are being arranged when you visit the website.
The next time you want to shop for a limited-edition Disney item, keep an eye out for this updated waiting room page. We expect it could be used in releases for things like the Mickey Main Attraction series and more Stitch Crashes Disney merchandise in the future. Stay tuned for more Disney news!

It’s. Ice to see that they now show what is actually for sale. Sometimes I’ll end up in a waiting room and have no idea wombat it was for. And usually never find out.
