Disneyland 70th speculations and news

Does the expensive key do anything different? Or is the difference just the size and materials?

WOW..that thing is HUGE! Sorry, I was just confusing it with the OTHER overpriced souvenir key

I honestly wouldn't know what to do with something like that...but clearly there is a market!

Same!! I forgot about THAT key. Thanks for the clarification, @LKing!

I guess to each his/her own LOL.

Those $250 keys are flying off the shelves. Disneyana sold out yesterday and restocked today. WOD sold out today.

Here is another picture to give you an idea of the size.

your emoji faces crack me up @LKing

I hear that the pin in the standard key is worth more than the key, hence people have been buying them, removing the pin and giving/ throwing away the key. Is there a super giant pin in the giant key?

(I am not a pin collector and do not/ have never owned pins.)

There’s videos on social media of Disney moving Christmas decorations into the parks today. Yikes, this year is flying by!

No pins in the giant keys. No discounts. Limit 2 per person. WOD now has them behind the counter.

We saw the giant key on display at Disneyana last week. It is about 3 feet long. We wondered how/where someone would display it.

Oh, funny...like you could stick that thing in your purse...but I guess there are people who would pick it up and try and walk out with it...

Snow and icicles are on the castle by mid October.

I think the problem is that people pick one (or two) up and then leave it somewhere else in the store. Either that or they have a difficult time holding it while they are shopping.

What does it look like out of the box? Is it exactly like the other one?

 

[DizMe]

This FOMO really puzzles me. Whether or not you are able to get to a park to buy one, why would you want one? What do people do with these things at home? The only thing I can think of is resell them, but is there that big a market for that?

I can think of a few vloggers who would have it mounted on the wall as they open packages or detail their fit of the day.

That makes sense, but are there that many vloggers to account for the number of purchasers?

Normal people have Disney rooms as well. I don't per se, but over the years have ended up with some random Disney things. The lego castle, a framed Wish steel cut piece, a BB-8 Droid, a framed Big Thunder jigsaw puzzle... Hanging a giant key on the wall woudn't look that out of place at this point.

That sounds like a great collection!

It's funny because my family loves Disney and Disney trips, but it's not a huge part of our day-to-day lives or decorations. Not intentional, just kind of weird when I think about it! I love the Big Thunder jigsaw and want to find one!

I’m not a collector but it’s obvious many people are due to the space Disney dedicates to merch - especially pins and popcorn buckets. I don’t hate on people who do collect but I often wonder where they store their popcorn buckets!

 

[BriannaRuth]

Does this key just meant for display? It looks like it's just a $250 piece of plastic that lights up and plays music. I must be missing something?

My daughter and I bought popcorn buckets on our last trip, thinking they would be fun to remember our trip by when we're watching Disney movies. Having said that, they're huge and there's no way I'd have more than one! I have to keep the two we bought upstairs in my bedroom closet instead of in my kitchen because there's no room for them. Which means we regularly forget to use them

We used to collect pins which we kept on our lanyards and do pin trading (with the CMs, not guests), but we now have so many pins that the lanyards are too heavy so we rarely wear them -- especially since the lanyards aren't as necessary as they used to be now that everything is electronic. No fast passes, park tickets, etc. Pin trading and finding that special pin for that year's trip was alot of fun when the kids were younger.
