You know you’re a real Disney Adult when you become obsessed with pins, and Disney just dropped the ultimate pin lovers’ dream advent calendar. Just wait till you see these!
To put it plainly, it simply stinks when a really cool Disney souvenir is ruined by becoming too popular.
Long souvenir line!
The Disney fandom runs deep with MILLIONS of fans all over the world. As such, it should come as no surprise that Disney souvenirs are hot commodities — sometimes to their own detriment. Disney Adults certainly DON’T lack passion, but — sometimes — that means they can go a little too overboard when it comes to souvenirs.
If you thought getting a boarding group for a new ride was stressful, just wait until you try to score a souvenir pin these days.
Long queue
Disney World has always been a place for collectors, but lately, things have reached a whole new level. Limited-release merchandise drops are nothing new, but this current wave of collectible restaurant pins? It’s officially chaos. We’re talking lines forming before the sun’s even up, sell-outs within minutes, and guests walking away empty-handed — and frustrated. Here’s everything going on with the latest must-have merch, and why this trend is spiraling fast.
The Disney Store is offering some amazing Disney pins and we’re letting you know before they’re all gone!
Fantasyland
You don’t need us to tell you that Disney pins are a hot commodity. Pin trading and collecting are longtime Disney fan practices, and if you take part, there are a couple of incredible pins available online that you need to know about before they’re both sold out!
Disney occasionally releases EXCLUSIVE merchandise, which may be for Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club members, or other special groups. Now, a new and exclusive souvenir has been released online!
Let’s go shopping
This one is just for members of Disney’s official fan club, D23. Specifically, it’s for D23 Gold Members. If you qualify to grab this new item, make sure you get one ASAP before it sells out!
It took a while for some things to return to the parks and hotels after Disney World closed in 2020.
EPCOT
In fact, we’re STILL seeing some offerings return FOUR YEARS after Disney temporarily shut down. The Grand Floridian Hotel’s 1900 Park Fare restaurant is finally reopening soon, and we’re getting a new Little Mermaid stage show in Disney’s Hollywood Studios to replace Voyage of the Little Mermaid. But there’s one thing we’ve been HOPING would return to its full, pre-pandemic glory, and our wished may finally be coming true!
There’s no doubt that a trip to Disney can be expensive. But even as experienced Disney-goers, we STILL got sticker shock from these souvenir prices!
Pixar Pins
There are TONS of different souvenirs to choose from around the Disney parks. From Minnie ears to tumblers, there’s something for just about everyone. But if you’re planning on doing some shopping around Disney, beware — we’ve seen some SUPER expensive souvenir prices lately!
Disney frequently comes out with new merchandise, both in the parks and online. Sometimes, that merchandise is EXCLUSIVE, meaning only certain people are eligible to buy it!
Pins!
We’ve seen Annual Passholder-exclusive items, merch that’s only out during special events, and some souvenirs that you need a Disney Visa Card in order to purchase. Now, the newest pin is out on shopDisney, and it’s exclusive to D23 Members! [Read more…]
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is the newest ride coming to Frontierland in Magic Kingdom in 2024. We can’t WAIT to go down the bayou with Tiana and her friends, so we’re watching for every little clue that the ride could be opening soon. We just spotted a NEW one!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
We previously saw a Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride souvenir pop up in Magic Kingdom, but now that same souvenir is available ONLINE! If you’re not heading into the parks soon, you can still get this first piece of merchandise to commemorate the new attraction. You’ll want to hurry, though — we’re guessing it’ll sell out fast!
