What must have Merch is at WDW now?

[Jaletu2022]

What would you consider a must-have souvenir from the WDW parks this year? I'm talking the theme parks but if there is a unique item in one of the resorts, please add that too. When we took our last trip, years ago, I made a list of items that people on this board told me about and I got most to them. These were not expensive but really adorable.

For instance, I got the camel and palm tree from a shop in Morocco, a teabag rest from UK, several Christmas items in the Christmas shop in MK, etc. Also found a pair of Mickey hands and an invisible dog leash (hilarious). I still have them and it was so fun seeking them out and finding new items too.

So is there anything you would suggest that would be a great item to get at the parks or resorts? Anything you love or that you found darling is definitely a must-have!

The new Nightmare Before Christmas popcorn bucket is an absolute must have for me this year! Can't wait to pick one up at our Halloween party!

There is currently a lot of HM merchandise available, as a tie in with the movie. I got a light up Constance ornament that is fabulous!

Thanks YakAndYeti, I forgot about the popcorn buckets! Not sure I want this one but after I get there, I might not be able to resist it.
Thanks also, Mtraynom. That sounds like a great ornament! I need to look it up.
OK, just found the pic and it is a really good ornament!

So far, I've gotten several miniature lightcycles and Oswald plushes to commemorate Tron opening and the 100th Anniversary. When we go next month to see Moana's water attraction and Epcot's 100th celebration, I would love to pick up something connected to these events.

Honestly, no. I don't think there's much "must-have" right now. While the Encanto F&W merchandise is cute, the rest of it is ugly or poorly designed. The main themed Halloween stuff is also hideous, IMO. The 100 celebration stuff hasn't varied since its release and the one thing I wanted (the black hoodie) is sold out. It's been pretty limited, in general.

There is a lot of HM merchandise right now and Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, so I think if you are a fan of those, you might be finding some new stuff.

Not impressed lately!

I'm also really not impressed with Creations, either. I thought the last time I was here that I just needed to learn to appreciate the new design. Nope - it's sterile and cold in its design feels "cheap/industrial." While its AC works good and I appreciated walking through it today, I wasn't inspired to browse.

Well, for me, I'm going for the F&W Hamburger coaster set. I think it's super cute but I like functional things that look like other things, ya know?

 

[Jaletu2022]

KWDW, I really appreciate your honesty! I, too, feel some of the Halloween stuff I've seen on Youtube videos is not the kind of stuff I want. But who knows? It might get better.

Some of the Spirit Jerseys are really cute but some are very thin.

Sacahara, I want that hamburger coaster set too! Hope there still are some.

I gotta admit - I kinda want the Donald Duck Candy Corn sipper. And I have no idea why, because I don't usually like that stuff.
