Hiya, Michelle. Welcome to planDisney, our little corner of the internet to help Guests with all of their
Disney vacation planning needs!
The
Disney Store offers a wide variety of merchandise from
toys to
MagicBands to
apparel to everything in between. I'm particularly fond of their selection of
home items. When a new home collection is released, let's just say my husband doesn't look at the
Disney Visa credit card bill for fear of a high balance. I have self-control with many things, but sprinkling items around the house to remind me of the
Walt Disney World Resort is definitely not one of them!
The Disney Store
does have some
merchandise that is sold at the theme parks and also carries some
pens. And while
some merchandise debuts in the parks and then slowly makes its way to the Disney Store, there
is merchandise that is sold exclusively at the theme parks and will not be available online. If you do not see the item you're looking for online, you can always keep checking back to see if it makes its way there eventually but just know that it might be something you can
only purchase when you're at the parks. There
are some Disney Store Outlets around the country that sometimes get theme park exclusive merchandise after they've been discontinued in the theme parks, like
the one near me in New Jersey, so you may want to
check to see if there is a similar store near you just in case. And while there's no guarantee that they'll have exactly what you are looking for, there's usually something to tickle your fancy.
While this may not be the news you want to hear if you are not venturing to the Walt Disney World Resort or the
Disneyland Resort any time soon, new merchandise is being added to the Disney Store all the time. You can always
sign up for emails to be sent to your inbox to be notified when special promotions and merchandise collections are released. And there's always the
"New & Trending" section of the site to keep an eye on as well as the
Disney Parks section for items you can find in the theme parks
and online.
Michelle, I wish you the best of luck! I hope you find exactly what you are looking for...or perhaps even better.
Please reach out again if you have any other questions!
Happy shopping,
Matt
