Hidden Items for Sale at Theme Park Shops?

[Coral Reef Diver]

Disney sells things that are not on display, and you have to specifically ask the shop CM about purchasing them. I know about the diapers and cigarettes, I might recall rain gear and tampons, not sure. (They may have dropped cigarette sales by now.)

What else is available at Disney theme parks that is kept out-of-sight until requested?

I think they might have aspirin/tylenol type stuff behind the counter. I'm sure you're right about the tobacco products--at least in the parks.

Hahaha, I was hoping that this thread was going to be about secret insider Disney merchandise. Like exclusive t-shirts or something.

It's interesting that they sell ibuprofen and Tylenol from behind the cash registers. I was disappointed once that a CM sold me a couple of Motrin, and didn't tell me that the first aid station was literally next door to the shop where they handed out the same medicine complementary. It was only a couple of bucks but still...

They sell travel size deodorant.

Ponchos are usually stored out of sight behind the register in most shops unless it is raining. If you want to buy one on a bright sunny day just ask.

Stamps for letters or postcards

At the baby care center. At least 2 years ago when I realized I forgot to put it on that was the only place that sold it. I must have walked 5 miles looking for deodorant lol.
Too bad there isn't exclusive merchandise. It would be so fun to walk up and say a password or secret phrase and get exclusive stuff. I bet Disney could charge triple for that stuff, too.

That might have worked before the internet and the rise of social media.

I can keep a secret.

Lip balm - and it is surprisingly reasonably priced for Disney.

I don't know if it's considered "hidden" but they keep shirts in very large sizes in the back. My mother was shopping for souvenirs for a friend back home who wears a 5X. She asked if they had any shirts in that size and they did but the CM said they were kept in the back.

Philip's Milk of Magnesia. Last trip I had a...let's just say unfortunate...illness and needed something. They sold it at the gift shop at All-Star Movies. A Godsend.

Darn. Was expecting to be informed of how to buy one of the secret $90 t-shirts.

I love these guys and their dry humor.

Was that recent? Because we've asked a million times and no one has ever mentioned a secret trove in the back of bigger shirts.

Tissues. I had a runny nose on NYE. They were Cars, and I remember being surprised by how cheap they were!!

When my DD was a baby, we lost her pacifier at DHS -- she was not feeling well and was inconsolable. I asked at a retail counter and they pulled out a Tupperware container of baby supplies from under the cashier counter. I know they probably had supplies at Baby Centers but for some reason we never visited those, and in a pinch we were saved.

It's going to depend on the store and the item. Unisex instead of ladies, for instance. And try Mousegears in Epcot and the Emporium in MK when it's not swamped- earlier the better. Those are the ones where I've had the best luck.

They definitely sell it elsewhere now! My sister works in Fantasyland and has mentioned selling it!
