According to DFB on instagram cast members estimate the line to be 6.5 hours.

Dang! I mean, yeah, it's a nice item, but is it worth all that? Heck, you may as well buy it from a scalper - not that I condone that, but isn't time worth money? I wouldn't spend my precious park time doing that.

Most of today's line is probably bloggers, vloggers, and scalpers. Lines should be more reasonable after today, provided Disney doesn't let the entire supply sell out today.

We're at Epcot and can verify. And we've seen several people with multiple shopping bags full of them, to resell no doubt.

ETA: Just heard the wait is 6 hours!

Ehh, let them have 'em! I'm not going to fight through a 6 hour line just to PAY for something. It'll either be around or it won't once the hype dies down.

On the plus side, with so many guests in line for that thing they aren't in line for Soarin'!

I thought they were limiting to 2 per person? Though I know a lot of people get around this by bringing their friends and family.

I'm not even a "hat guy" but that hat is indeed amazing! Is the line for it 6 hours long too?

I really like it too!!!! It’s cute!

The fact that Frozen is 70 Minutes, Remy's is 95 with a 6 hour merch line and other hour+ long lines for other merch... there's toooooo many people in the park.

 

[BorderTenny]

There's already several listed on eBay. One is already up to $270 plus $20 shipping. Both the sellers and the buyers ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Dang - I know I said I'd rather buy it from a scalper than wait in line, but I wouldn't pay that! The thing is, once the hype dies down, the prices will plummet. I don't mind buying from a reseller with a modest markup - usually just something I can't get out to the parks to get. I've gotten some of the Oga's mugs for the same price they sell for in-park (just without the drink of course), so that's okay. These people who take advantage of scarcity though are a real problem. Don't pay those prices!

We waited about 30 mins for merch so not too bad but now we have to stand in line to pay!

But does anyone know the resale value of the W&D shoe ornament that didn’t come in before race weekend and was only sent to those who pre-ordered before being dumped at cast connection? Would love to surprise my sister who was upset the expo only had generic RunDisney shoes?

I mean, I get the hype for the popcorn bucket because it’s Figment and all, but the Figment Spork is the real winner to me…
