I have been searching for the talking monorail magnet for years now, no one will sell theirs of course I've always kept a close watch on ebay for them but nothing!!!

I wish they'd sell them again!

I have one of these. I have no idea where it is at the moment. We put all of our WDW magnets in a box when we moved (3 yrs ago), and I haven't found the box yet.

I can't wait to find it again.


I want them to bring back resort specific refillable mugs. I'm also hoping to find something from AKL tomorrow--but it sounds like I'll be out of luck.

I would like to see:

A recipe box and recipe cards!!!!!!

Haunted Mansion stuff

Monorail Magnet

And I agree, I'm tired of seeing the same stuff in every store too.

I would like the option to buy some of the Disney collaboration clothing while I'm AT Disney World... Disney has collaborated with brands like The Hundreds, Neighborhood, and Supreme to create awesome high end casual wear cool enough to not illicit those glances I usually get in my WDW T shirt... but since I don't live in NYC or japan I can't get it...

 

[GuardMusic]

I only want two things back:
- Beach Club Resort specific merchandise & clothes. (I once spent $300 on this stuff in the Beach Club Marketplace! And yes, I have the photo to prove it!)
- Graduation Mickey Antennae Topper. I work at a university and everyone loves it! I want to stock up, as well as buy them for my students.

When I was growing up in the 80's, my parents always let me pick out one or two small ceramic figurines to take home. Not the big collector expensive ones, just little 3-4 inches tall, they had every character that was "new" plus the classics. I haven't been able to find any in a long time to add to my collection. I think the "newest" character I have is from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I really wish they would bring those back!

I had a set like that of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Took several years to collect them all, but I finally did. Moving in my adult years, I've lost the box they were in. Still hoping to find it...

I miss the square clear box of red hot candies you could get in Walt Disney World. Does anyone else remember these? I really wish they would package their candy in those boxes again.

Yes! I had one that sat on my desk when I was younger (sans candy, of course ). It had Spaceship Earth on it.

I want them to bring Quality and Variety back! The quality of the product is so low now, and seems to get lower each time we go. We have stopped buying basically anything but Christmas ornaments because it just isn't worth the money for how well it wears or how long it lasts.

I also hate that every store carries the exact same thing now, if it wasn't for the decor you wouldn't even know you had crossed into a new "store" on Main Street. I remember when we looked forward to going into certain stores for what they had that was always unique, and those days are totally behind us. They also don't seem to release new merchandise as frequently, mainly in regards to adult apparel. I have a visor with Mickey's sillouette on it that I got in 2006, and would love to get a new one that is a similar style (not screaming "I went to Disney World"), but they still have that same one...

Completely agree! Although, the same thing in all the shops tends to save me money. Course it also costs WDW money.

I would love to see more women's shirts that aren't the junior cut. Not everyone's built to wear one of those!

Definitely!!

 

[princessmom29]

what do you mean by "fits a normal person?"

All I want is a Disney shirt to fit me!! I am a 24-26, so usually a 2x-3x womens. There is NOTHING to be had in WDW to fit me!! I have looked everywhere we stopped over 2 week long trips and I could not find a single shirt to fit me. Period. The women's shirts are insanely small, but the kids shirts are huge. My DD is a size 6, and still wears the xs tee. I on the other hand couldn't even come close to wearing the one or 2 3x women's shirts I found, and the 2xl anr actually more like a stadard xL.

I really liked it when you could find merchandise that you couldn't find elsewhere, and it wasn't necessarily Disney. I loved the antique shop in MK (where the Christmas shop in Liberty Square is now) - I could browse in there for hours, and I bought some very nice things there. I think it really fit the theme of the area better than a Christmas shop as well (back then, the Christmas shop was in Fantasyland next to Snow White). There was also a wider variety of quality items in the WS shops at Epcot. Although I could, I don't spend half as much money on souvenirs at WDW as I used to.

 

[LUVMICKEY]

Resort specific merchandise like t-shirts, hoodies, and other items. I have a hoodie from the Boardwalk and a t-shirt and bracelet charm from WL but there's nothing available now.

I agree with this to. We really miss this.

 

[Tink NY]

One thing I would love is more Haunted Mansion stuff! Hell, even more attraction specific items would be nice.

I'd like the variety and quality to come back. You used to be able to go from shop to shop and never see the same item twice. And yes, womens shirts that aren't so flashy and that actually fit.

I got a blue t-shirt with a big Genie face on it back in 2004 for my DH. We looked everywhere for a new Genie shirt in June, and there are none to be had My DH got so many comments and happy looks from people when he wore his shirt in Disney, but it's wearing out!

My husband had a sweatshirt from MouseGear in Epcot.

It was navy blue and had what we call a "Flag Mickey Head" on the front. It was a giant Mickey head and the inside of the Mickey head it was colored like the American Flag. It was a nice embroidered applique, I think. Not just a screenprint.

That sweatshirt has worn out. We look every single time we are at WDW - and not just at Epcot - for this shirt. Because DH doesn't just want one, but my Eagle Scout DS really wants one, too.

PLEASE bring it back. I can't believe that this shirt would not sell, even at the prices Disney charges.

 

[GSDRescuer]

WINDBREAKER JACKETS with WDW logo on front and back!!!!!! Really don't want any more hoodies or sweatshirt type jackets.

 

[Shelly D.]

Resort specific merchandise and refillable mugs. We always loved seeing the different designs for the mugs and they bring back such great memories when I use them for my morning coffee at home!

I also collect a Christmas ornament each year from the parks and the resort we're staying at (regardless of the time of year we visit). The last few trips there seem to be fewer options and more general Disney designs.

Gayle - I just happened to see your request for Graduation Mickey antenna toppers, and googled them just for the hell of it. Amazon.com has them but I think it's a limited supply. Try here! http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Graduation-Antenna-Topper-Mickey/dp/B00CHTYKRQ

I wish they'd sell them again!

I love that this thread from 2010 has been resurrected! Did they ever sell this
Monorail magnet again? I had one from way back but have no idea what happened to it, would love one again.

I also wish they would get rid of such cartooney annual merchandise, and put a good quality "2014" on things. They seem to repeat the same-o same-o each year!

 

[katew449]

I got a question after said merchandise is discontinued what does disney do with the left over merchandise? I brought the alice in wonderland tea set from the tea caddy last year and it's already discontinued! I'm missing a piece that I wish I brought when I had the chance.

Forgive me if this has been answered, but behind mk is a big warehouse and a trailer. This is just for cm's and I believe 1 guest. In the warehouse is expired or discontinued merch. Deeply discounted. In the trailer is current merch that is broken. For ex they always had snow globes of tinkerbell with a wand and the sands were always missing. That discount is 75%. I loved those stores! It was great bc stuff would just be knicked and automatically it was 75% off. They had those giant statues for like $30. (I am assuming this hasn't changed in a few years, but that's how it was when I worked there)

I would really like some women's t-shirts that do not fit like a glove. I typically wear a medium in t-shirts from Target and the like but some of the shirts I have tried at WDW were so tight! There are some really nice retro attraction shirts at MK (Mr. Toad and it's a small world) but even an x-large was pretty snug. Maybe they are made for juniors only? The organic, "save the world" environmental t-shirts are the same.

I SO agree! Women's shirts are way too small. Would also like to see Women's polo shirts. Better DVC merchandise would be good, including T-shirts and mugs from places like Bay Lake Tower.

Speaking of mugs, how about getting rid of the supplier that makes mugs that have decals/pictures that wash off, even if you only hand washed them??
