Announcing a store for the DIS!!

[dizneenut]

YAY! This is so cool. I'd definitely buy a T-shirt and an antenna topper.
I think keychains and magnets are a great idea, too.

 

[The LK 4]

Tons of great suggestions here! How about Hidden Mickey books? Christmas ornaments? Shot glasses?

 

[becka]

Great idea!!! I can think of lots of things I would be interested in buying.

I bought an old DIS t-shirt and I was actually worried that as I was losing weight it wouldn't fit anymore. That is good but I was going to miss my shirt. Now I can get a new one and it would be great to have the option of adding user names.

I know DH would be interested in a DIS lanyard for his pins and buttons would be great for wearing in the park...they might be easier to spot that those ribbons.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Grey shirts with lime green letters would be great! I look terrible in lime green!

Just having a uniform green ribbon or name tag to wear would be nice too.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Best wishes with your new venture, Dorothy, I know you'll do well with it.

Lots of great ideas here...I'm very exited about this project!! I love the luggage tags and lanyard ideas.

My suggestion is more about delivery than anything else. It would be great if, for instance, I could place an order that is a gift for someone else and have it delivered to their resort at WDW. Since so many of us have become friends here, we know when our DISfriends are going to be at WDW. Sending a little DIS surprise to a DISfriend at their resort would be fun!!

OH! One more idea...not sure if this has been mentioned already or not. How about offering DISCON merchandise for those of us who can't make it to DISCON, but are there in "spirit"?

Good luck with this project...how exciting!!

Great idea! You've already received lots of good suggestions: coffee mugs, t-shirts (gray w/lime green would be my preference), window clings, fanny packs (various sizes if possible), what about tank tops for those of us who like to go sleeveless? Maybe even hooded sweatshirts for the folks who are lucky enough to go to WDW in Jan/Feb (with kids, we always go in June).

 

[crazyme5kids]

How about something that could hook onto a lanyard that could hold your ticket and some money? The less I have to carry the happier I am! Something that is waterproof and perhaps has a clear window on it.

 

[Girls Scout Leader]

Forget Pal Mickey....

I want a "Pal Dan Murphy"

 

[Disney_1derland]

I'm fairly new around here, but I'd love to buy some Dis Merchandise!

I would love a Grey Shirt with a Lime Green Mickey head on the back maybe and if personalization were available, user names on the front.

I know in our area there are a lot of at home moms who make extra money using their art embroidering sewing machines to make shirts, towels etc. Perhaps we can find one interested in doing Dis work so that personalization can happen? If you are interested in doing so I know a woman that would probably be really interested in doing this and she's reasonable. She already owns all the Disney art files for her sewing machine too so that a personal character could be added along with the names. Feel free to PM me if this might be something you are interested in, I'd love to help you get hooked up with this woman's amazing machine!

Lanyards sound great too. An organization I do events for looked into personalized organization lanyards and badge holders and they were reasonable, especially if you ordered like 1000 at a time.


How about stroller personalization tags with a Dis logo? Something that you can clip to the stroller and write your family name on or something to mark it as "yours"

 

[Disney_1derland]

How about a "Best of the Dis" tips and tricks guidebook to WDW?

 

[MaMudduck]

I'll be the third Canadian to request....PLEASE keep the shipping cost down to Canada. We can't even take anvantage of Disneystore.com sales because the S&H wipes out all the savings.

What about carrying the "glow in the dark" things.....Skywriters, spinners, ice cubes, necklaces. etc.
Autograph books!

When is this going to be up and running?

 

[Padre Disney]

The T-shirt idea is great. What a great way to see each other while boarding and at a DIS meet. I had lime ribbon on my bags at check in and another DISer asked if I was on the DIS boards. It was great. We ended up having a room on the same floor a few doors down.

LOVE the cruise C/D idea. I keep a list of all the songs suggested but never have time to make my own C/D. Would love to buy one if someone could put it together.

I might even like a license plate holder for my car.

YES on the antenna balls. Would they be lime green? Would be much easier to find my car in the parking lot.

 

[Curly Q]

Wow great idea!
Things I buy or would buy for WDW trips:
GREY T-Shirt with Lime Green
Scrunchies
WDW/Disney Music
Baseball hats
"bucket" hats
visor
bags, totes, backpacks
antenna topper
calendar
pen/pencil
I also like the best of Dis book!!

Good Luck!

 

[ead79]

Woo Hoo! I would LOVE some DIS stuff! Here's what I would love to see offered:

window clings
tee shirts
sweatshirts
luggage tags
pens

I also love the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World by Sehlinger and the Disney World for Couples books by the Perlmutters, if selling guidebooks is a possibility.

 

[disneyfan551]

This is fabulous!!! In the past, I have also been begging Pete for a Dis store, and even offered my help! Everyone has great suggestions listed. I wish you LOTS of luck!!

Can't wait to buy Dis stuff!!!

 

[piglet33]

wow - there are so many great suggestions that I can't wait for the site to be up and running so I can buy. I am ready, charge card in hand.

How about lime green shoelaces with The DIS printed on them or rulers to go with the pencils?

 

[Willowwind]

Please, please, please have T-shirts in plus sizes too!!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

There are so many great ideas on here! These are the things I would buy, so many have already been mentioned, but it's another vote for them, right?

BUT, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be sensitive to size issues. THere are many of us that are on the WISH and others I am sure that are working hard at loosing weight, but still need larger sizes before we get to our goals. So I would respectfully ask that sizes go up to 1x, 2x, and 3x for Tshirts.

I personally prefer white tshirts. Could we have white tshirts with lime green on them?

Disney CD's (great idea, I would love them!!!)
Personalized pins
Bumper stickers
Antenna toppers
coffee mugs
water bottles/mugs
lanyards
luggage tags
mouse pads
magnets
keychains
sweatshirts


What about post cards to send to DIS friends
And maybe a tshirt with the WISH logo on them?
Any ideas for the kids? Maybe tshirts in kid sizes?

This is great! I think I have to save some money quick so I can buy these things before our trip! WOOOOHOOOOO

 

[Hannosmom]

As a Dis WISH member, I would love to see some pins or charms with the WISH logo and especially the beautiful red "goal" logo, or any of the gold loss logo's.

Love this idea!
