It’s About To Get HARDER To Buy Your Favorite Disney Merch

By Kendall Waltz Leave a Comment

If there’s one piece of Disney nostalgia that we keep coming back to, it’s the Disney Store. We loved going to the mall (because they were always in a mall) and walking past all the stuffed animals and watching the Disney movie clips playing in the background. Ugh, I want to go back to the early 2000s just thinking about it.

While most physical Disney Stores no longer exist, we do most of our shopping on the Disney Store website! We always find great souvenirs on it and can usually snag free shipping too. You can imagine our surprise when we heard some of the Disney Store international websites were closing — how will people get their Disney merch??

The Disney Store website for Australia and New Zealand, along with the site for Singapore and Malaysia, are closing down on September 30th. Memos popped up on their websites saying “Disney Store will continue to operate in Singapore until 30 September 2026, after which your local online store will close. Orders placed through the 30th September will continue to be fulfilled from our local warehouse.”

Now, the main Disney Store website does ship internationally, but shipping costs can be very high, including exchange rates. It definitely adds another barrier to ordering Disney souvenirs, especially right before the holiday season.

If you live in any of those countries and were planning to order items for the holidays, we recommend doing so sooner rather than later, especially before that September 30th cutoff. While you can still order from the US store, shipping will be expensive and take a long time. If you’re heading to the parks any time soon, it might be a good idea to stock up on gifts, too.

Those of us in the US and other countries could order from the Singapore site to get exclusive international souvenirs. Recently, Disney has been adding some of those international finds to the US website, but the international sites were the only ones that consistently had those exclusive souvenirs.

Disney hasn’t released any additional information about the sites or whether alternative plans are in place. We’ll be keeping an eye out to see if any further changes are announced, so make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more Disney news.
