Is anyone getting the 50th Anniversary coffee table book?

[mom2rtk]

I ordered the book on Amazon in October and a couple months later they cancelled my order.

I was so fortunate - DD and DSiL bought it for my Christmas present when they were at WDW in November! It's a wonderful book!

What is up with this book??? It's so hard to find online (I know they have it through a third party seller on Amazon right now) but is it in the parks? Disney Springs anymore? I had it in my ShopDisney cart on Black Friday 2021 and stupidly didn't move forward and a day later it wasn't even available anymore! I'm just so surprised that the official 50th companion book doesn't have stacks all over the resorts. I'll be there in November and I'm really hoping to pick up a copy.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

It's been really sporadically available. It seemed like they were having some kind of manufacturing issue.

They had it at Disney Springs for a few days in late September (gone before October 1st). Then they had another batch of it - I think it was in November/December. (I didn't see it there in January.) There was even a current Imagineer on Twitter who quietly noted the difficulty he had getting it - and he works at WDW.

I guess the hope is that they'll do another print run of it, but there's no indication of it at the moment.

Thank you brightlined! That's what I'm hoping... just worried they're intentionally making it exclusive and we'll only see it on eBay for thousands of dollars in the future. You'd think they'd want to sell it through the anniversary- must be a manufacturing issue.

I definitely think it’s just the supply shortage. Even a lot of us who placed preorders had a delay in shipping, and I think some people even said their preorder was canceled. As with most of the anniversary merch, I expect it to keep coming out in unpredictable waves.

I work at Barnes and Noble and we got one in when it was released and I haven't seen any more come in. I just checked our website and I don't see it anywhere. It says it isn't available on line and it doesn't look like any stores have it. If I find any information for what's going on I'll let you guys know. Could just be that they didn't print that many copies of it.

For anyone still tracking this thread - it seems to be widely available now. (News to me today.)
