I decided to pick up the gauntlet and see if I could find some Pringles tonight.
And, unfortunately, I think I might have an unsatisfying answer.
TL/DR: At this specific moment in time, I don't think they sell Pringles anywhere at the resort.
I started at DL. I figured the "market" places would be the best bet (Tropical Imports, plus the one in Toontown) - since they seem to sell the biggest variety of everyday snacks - plus possibly the candy shops (like the one by Pooh). I checked food kiosks along the way, as well as eateries and gift shops (especially checkout lines, since they tend to sneak snacks in there). I went through the whole park, including all of the shops on Main Street and through Galaxy's Edge. (I hit GE last - I figured I would have found them before then.) I did skip a small number of places (including Docking Bay 7 and Bippidi Boppidi).
The markets and a few eateries sold Bag of Chips ($4.29), but all of the products were Frito-Lay (Lay's, Cheetos, Doritos). The shops are selling a lot of character-branded food right now, especially a lot of holiday character-branded food. A LOT of popcorn, including at the kiosks. Notably, a few shops had a small package of Chip N Dale's mixed nuts that was roughly the size of the smallest Pringles container. But no Pringles.
Surprises along the way - I didn't realize how much food they sold at the Buzz shop. I didn't expect to find Astronaut Ice Cream at Star Traders. (And I hadn't realized how many places sold pickles.)
Rather than go immediately through DCA, I figured I'd cut to the chase and head to the hotels. I was 100% sure that one or all of them would have Pringles in the gift shops. (And I assumed the price would be consistent throughout the resort if they had them.)
Nothing. All three had Ritz crackers and Cheez-Its, plus larger bags of the Frito-Lay chips, but no Pringles.
I was honestly really surprised.
I did run through Fairfax Market and the food kiosks around Hollywood in DCA, and didn't find anything, but things were starting to close up. I might take a longer look there on Thursday. I also went through World of Disney, with no luck.
It might just be timing. With all of the holiday (and character) branded stuff they're trying to sell, there might just not be room for them.
For the record, I fully support anyone else picking up the gauntlet and checking me on my work.
