Hi Elizabeth! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I am happy to assist you with your question.
When
Disney Parks Blog announced just yesterday that shopDisney would be taking pre-orders for cloth face masks with designs inspired by everyone's favorite Disney, Pixar, and Marvel characters, you'd better believe a bunch of us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel very excitedly hopped onto the
shopDisney website to check them out! Not only do I find the masks to be very reasonably priced, I love the fact that Disney is donating one million face masks to families in vulnerable communities and is also donating all profits, up to $1,000,000, from the U.S. sales of face masks.
Elizabeth, I am thrilled to let you know that the face masks are not sold out! This is a pre-order product, meaning that Guests can put in their order now and have their order shipped when these products become available sometime in June or July. When I went to the shopDisney site yesterday morning as soon as I saw the announcement, the masks I selected were estimated to be available by June 29. I took a peek at the shopDisney website just now and I see all styles and all sizes are currently available for pre-order, with estimated availability of June 29 or July 15, depending on the style.
I also checked with some of my Moms Panel friends who placed their own orders yesterday. A couple of the super early birds saw estimated dates of June 15, but most reported the masks they chose were expected to be available for standard shipping at the end of June or early July. Keep in mind that these dates are just estimates; the actual product may become available before or after the projected date. Adding on time for shipping, even those early birds aren't expecting their masks to arrive before July.
As you can imagine, the face masks are a very popular item and we did see a few glitches with the shopDisney website yesterday. I didn't have any problems with the site just now, but you might find yourself in a virtual waiting room to check out. You might also notice availability of some styles change throughout the day. My friend
Kristin shared a tip with me that I will pass along to you; she noticed different availability of specific sizes when shopping the site on her mobile device vs. her laptop.
We don't yet know if cloth face masks such as these will be available for purchase at Disney stores or at Disney Parks. I recommend keeping your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest Disney Parks news.
I hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions, or feel free to
contact shopDisney Guest Services at guest.services@shopDisney.com. Please stop by the Moms Panel again anytime as you
plan your Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
