Specific Character Merchandise

[kittengal13]

Hi!

I haven't been to WDW for four years and I am returning this September with my best friend, who has never been and I am so excited!

I have to admit, whenever I go to WDW I always buy farrrrrrrrrrrr too much merchandise- I just can't help myself!

The only thing keeping me sane whilst waiting until Sept is by planning things, making several lists etc

So, my favourite ever Disney character is Marie from the Aristocats. The Disney Store here in the UK, has quite a few bits of merch for her but to be honest, some of the things like soft toys don't even look like her!!

So, does anyone know what kind of special things wdw offer for marie?

Also, I have a new found love for Dumbo, I watched the film for the first thing since I was a young girl and I LOVED it, I sobbed my heart out at the scene with him and his mother. I bought the most gorgeous soft toy of Dumbo here in the UK, is there any thing you have spotted at WDW that is dumbo merch? I seen the popcorn buckets in the shape of him which are adorable

Also, any Cheshire Cat come to mind?

I am visiting all parks except water parks and I will also be going to DTD. Any photos would be wonderful and thank you so much in advance for any replies

My daughter loves Marie too. (In fact, she was Marie for Halloween last year.) So, we searched high and low for Marie merchandise during our November visit. I'm sad to say there wasn't much. We ended up getting her a little stationary set in France at Epcot, a pin, and a pillow pet, but that was it aside from some other plush toys. I went everywhere trying to find a Marie ornament and there was nothing. (This included trips to the ornament shop in MK and DtD where I asked managers and came up with, "Oh, we really should make a Marie ornament, but we don't.") I also searched for mugs and magnets and came up empty-handed. We were fortunate enough to meet Marie in the MK, as well, which made up for the disappointing selection of gear for DD.

Sorry, I don't have any tips on the other characters.

The PP is correct about the lack of Marie Merchandise. Sadly, there just isn't a lot for her character.

Dumbo, however, you'll find quite a bit! Big Top Souvenirs in Fantasyland has TONS of stuff with Dumbo on it, as the gift shop is somewhat themed after the movie and close to the Dumbo ride! If you want anything Dumbo, you're sure to find it in there.

The Cheshire Cat has some merchandise, though I don't recall seeing a lot. I found some good Cheshire Cat stuff in Hollywood Studios, though for the life of me I can't remember which store I found it in.

There has been more and more Cheshire Cat product either by himself or with other Alice in Wonderland characters - plush, clothes, hats, ornaments, mugs, pins and more.

Dumbo plush, clothes and accessories especially for babies and toddlers, pins, ornaments can be found in the parks. You can purchase the popcorn bucket at selected popcorn stands, but we were told not to put the ears up until we got home because they are fragile. Once up there's a distinct possibility they will break if you try to lower them.

There isn't a lot of Marie product other than the plush and pins, but unlike Cheshire and Dumbo she does have meet and greets scheduled.

Just remembered one more thing about the Dumbo popcorn bucket. We bought it on 2 separate occasions. The second time we mentioned leaving the ears down for travel purposes and the CM asked if we'd like one with the ears not yet attached. That turned out great because it made it even easier for packing.
