Grace is great and all and it will certainly be given to the workers on the front. I would never harass them over it, but when a multi-BILLION dollar corporation is marketing a special ticketed event for $150+ and there has ALWAYS been exclusive merchandise for those who buy tickets, don't you think it is fair as a consumer to hold them accountable and have certain expectations? I already bought enough off of Etsy for this trip. Really only bought from small businesses off there to support them. Pretty sure somewhere in the $700 range (DON'T JUDGE! lol). But one of the many reasons I did buy my tickets for the party was the expectation that there will be exclusive items for purchase. Ornaments for example are my FAVORITE. And again, supply chain is not a valid excuse. They have regular Christmas merch, no reason they shouldn't have the party merch yet. I highly doubt profit potential is a thought for them. They already know they will make a killing on it, they had the Halloween party merch, no? I really do appreciate your feedback and I feel it is valuable and constructive, but I personally just think they need to do better. And again, this is not on the CM's doing the hard work in the parks. I could never even imagine putting it on them or even questioning them about it.
I wonder if part of the no party merchandise is they hadn't decided on if they were returning or not and in what format when it was time to design and purchase the merchandise.
