Help finding Ariel merchandise

[macrom75]

With Voyage of the Little Mermaid closed, the attached gift shop is also shuttered. Our daughter loves Ariel, but there seems to be very little in each major shop. We asked several CMs at the DHS stores on Hollywood and Sunset, but no one seems to know what happened to all the Little Mermaid goods. The best we heard was that the merchandise was simply redistributed across the entire resort, not just DHS.

Any advice on where we can look this week for a nice selection of merchandise to buy? She‘s an adult kid and not wanting a stuffed animal or doll, etc.

In 2019, I wanted an Ariel tank top. It was showing on the MDE app (which used to have a section that showed which merch was available in which stores). I went to those stores and couldn't find it. Turns out there was a recall and it was pulled from the shelves but not returned yet. It listed the different words Ariel used for ordinary objects, and one of them was spelled wrong. I believe it might have been spelled in a way which was similar to a not very nice word, which is why it got pulled. There was a small store in Disney Springs (not the big World of Disney store) which had a display of other Ariel merchandise - but these were items which had just been released, which was why they had the display.

At the time, cast members in the stores were able to look things up and tell you exactly which store would have them. I don't know if they can still do that. As an experiment, try going up to a cast member at a cash register of a store which isn't busy. Ask something like, "We are looking for Ariel mouse ears. Do you know which stores carry them?" Or something equally specific. See if they can look it up for you.

The “Sir Mickey” shop in MK (between the carousel and castle, and with the beanstalk design outside) had a section for each disney princess. I know with certainty it had Ariel stuff (dresses, t shirts, toys) on our last trip though that could always change I suppose.

**Edited to add, sorry just saw your daughter is an adult. It was mostly kid stuff at sir mickey’s but there may have been one or two adult things.

Thanks all! We found a Sebastian plush in HS and snagged a Flounder bag charm on the way out. Saturday is our last day and we are booked for MK. Will look then at the recommended stores!

So confused - so you state she doesn't want a stuffy, but you got a Sebastian stuffy...

Not sure what's available now at Disney Springs, but didn't World of Disney have just about everything available in the stores in that one location? They might have a bigger selection of adult sized clothing, for example.

I think the Sebastian stuffy was an impulse buy.

Update: Sir Mickey had a few items, mostly dolls for kids, dresses/costumes, and a few trinkets. The shop by Gaston’s Tavern was closed tonight by the time we got there.

Main Street Emporium had a few things, like a mug and a beach towel, that seemed to be about it.
