I would presume that seller got them in the parks; he must have either stocked up on them or lives close and can buy them straight from the parks when someone orders one, because he lists all sizes available.

I've gotten at least one of my Spooner shirts in the Emporium on Main Street at WDW and as far as I know, the parks are the only place they're sold. I mean, they may be available at Mickey's of Glendale and/or at Pixar Studios, and maybe the cruise line, but other than that I don't know where else they're sold.

I do have friends down at the parks now; I'll see if they can find out whether they're available.

At one time, I believe the Spooner shirts were available (while supplies last) on the Reyn Spooner web site, but I haven't found anything there in years. I have no idea why these shirts are produced in such apparent limited quantities, except for the Toy Story 3 shirt which was available for quite a while. You'd think they could sell more than they typically make, even without changing their prices.

She even went through every Wreck it Ralph shirt listed (in and out of stock) and couldn't find it. So it doesn't look good.

Does anyone know if it might be available directly at the parks themselves even if DelivEARS doesn't have a listing for it? Or another way to get one besides paying $170 on eBay?

Mahalo very much,

I have been looking at Disneyland but have not seen any Reyn Spooner shirts since the Toy Story 3 one. My husband collects the Disney shirts.

Hello everybody!

So I stumbled upon this thread and thought I would add some (perhaps helpful) info! I've collected/worn hawaiian shirts for years, and began acquiring Reyn Spooner Disney/Pixar shirts several years ago. I find them on occasion in the parks, often on ebay, and once in a blue moon at the disneystore site. I also have several of the SHAG shirts (tiki room, Haunted mansion in green and purple) and a host of Disneyland "land" designs. Great stuff when you can find them!

I recently tried to find a Wreck it Ralph shirt, and was frustrated it could not be purchased anywhere except ebay for roughly 170 bucks. Now the regular retail on the Spooner shirts is 79.95 plus tax, so that price was a bit too much. As part of my quest, I emailed Reyn Spooner HQ in Hawaii to find out just how these things get distributed. I was informed that Reyn does not sell them at any of their shops anymore (nor online) they are made exclusively for Disney who basically does whatever they wish with them.

I was also searching for a Brave shirt at the time, after seeing a nice guy at DL wearing one. His son works at PIXAR so he was able to buy it at their studio store. Unfortunately, the public is not allowed to walk in off the street and buy, although disappointed - pressed on. I finally found an ebay seller who does not gouge as much as some, and purchased it from him. He was kind enough to let me know he would soon have Monsters 2 - Frozen & Planes.

If anyone would like his info, let me know. Not sure how people obtain these things, but at least they are available in some way/shape/form to we unwashed masses! The shirts are a LOT of fun to wear, and I always get compliments. I often have Disney park employees marvel at how cool the designs are - and ask where I got them. Even more fun!!

I also collect these great shirts. As far as I know, only one seller on Ebay sells most of these Disney Reyn Spooner shirts and has all sizes. I bought many shirts from him so far and got a great deal. I don't know of anyone else that carries Braves, Wall-es and Wreck it Ralphs all sizes. He's a great guy and if you're willing to buy multiple shirts, he doesn't have a problem giving a discount.

Anyone interested in Wreck it Ralph for 140$ ?

Hello! I purchased a Mickey Mouse & Tiki Hawaiian T-shirt (blue & red) for my son, last year from WDW. My son loves Tiki's.

The Wreck it Ralph shirt sounds cool. Do they make it in boy's size? I would consider getting it for my son.

Aloha,
Leilanie

Just saw these on eBay and except for Toy Stroy 3 ones, the opening bid prices aren't bad..and they are new!
Just search "Bolt Reyn Spooner" and look at the sellers store...

I have a birthday coming up, and a couple of mysterious packages have shown up at the house -- judging by the feel of the packages, they contain cloth items. Perhaps I'll have a new Hawaiian shirt or two in a few days, and maybe they'll be Disney shirts.

We were down at the parks a couple of weeks ago for our first visit in over a year, and my wife was atypically vehement in voicing her desire that I not buy the one new shirt I saw in the stores (it was yellow and not a Spooner, but I liked it). Make of that what you will. Now, she does typically complain when I buy a Hawaiian shirt, but usually Disney shirts are exempt from her disdain. She says I have too many Hawaiian shirts, which is nonsense, of course -- no such thing as too many!
