I have to say how totally BUMMED I was on our trip this past week to see the lack of resort specific merchandise! Last year we stayed at BWI and they had absolutely nothing except a couple little Boardwalk Villas DVC things. This year was a little better. We stayed at AKL and they had quite a bit more than I have seen at any other resort. Do these things not sell very well? Since we go almost every year, these are usually the only souvenirs we get. Without resort merchandise, we don't usually buy anything
Every year since DH and I got married we have bought a resort ornament with the year we stayed there for our Christmas tree and our tree is currently made up of ONLY these ornaments and a few basic solid colored mickey's. We went to the Christmas store in DTD and they told us they have a new supplier/buyer and they don't have anything with the resorts on them anymore We were so upset that our tradition has to end
We also noticed that most stores had the same things. One of my favorite things to do at WDW is shop, and as much as it was nice to know that if you found something you liked, you wouldn't have to go all the way back to one specific store, it was boring to go in store after store and see the exact same merchandise I really WANTED to give Disney my money, and I came back home with most of it.
Stayed at teh Boardwalk Nov 2009 and little to no merchandise the entire week were there. Kept checking back for a tshirt but they never got a shipment. Really sad state. The only thing that came in was teh christmas pin when were there, nothing else was stocked. I had really wanted that boardwalk tshirt or even a hat ...never happened
