Where to find Frozen merchandise?

[jimandami]

FYI my DH and DD bought the movie via the XBox today!

Anybody have any scoop on where to find the Frozen Birthday party supplies in stock? Party city is totally sold out of them and unsure when/if they will get them back in. My almost 6 year old wants a Frozen party at the beginning of June so I got roughly 3 months to find the supplies but every website I seem to check is out of stock.

Thanks!

In canada www.openaparty.com has lots of frozen stuff in stock. Just got mine in Monday.

Not surprised! People are selling the $59 Elsa dress for $499 on EBay...must admit I was a bit tempted to sell ours! I can't believe people are willing to pay that!

I caved and made DD an Anna playdress.

Nice! I'm such a softie I haven't been able to bring myself to return the coronation gown yet!

I have not been able to return our Anna dress yet either. We were so happy that we were actually able to get it. It seems like a cruel joke to then be told to return it.

I know!! Has your DD worn it to check the fabric? It's supposed to be a surprise for ours in mid March so I can't have her try it on ya know?

Not yet. I love how it has 5 layers in the skirt.

It is with a heavy heart that I jump onto this thread, Disney has failed big time with this movie and its characters when it comes to merchandise. I'm having a huge problem finding in stock items with some retailers indicating that they will have stock sometime in mid June. I'm beyond frustrated, I get marketing theories and ideas but this is beyond a failure. Now, the secondary market like ebay is making a killing on these items. It makes little sense to me. Disney and retailers are leaving thousands maybe millions on the table. Thankfully you have until April, we have until february 24th. I suppose we will make due....but this wasn't Disney's first rodeo and it is guilty of a gigantic blunder with the merchandising of the Frozen product. Today we called Disney direct for park merchandise and nothing Elsa to be found at either parks. Seeing it is after Christmans that amazes me that months after the movies release that manufactures are still unable to keep up with demand.....sorry for the rant.

THIS.

Why should I feel such disappointment, and FAILURE for not buying the merchandise in the fall? Why should I feel guilt about that? It is almost 4 months later and there's hardly a scrap of Frozen costuming. THANKFULLY, I had the sense to buy the Anna costume 2 months ago with accessories, and this is her birthday weekend. Sadly, I gave my daughter Anna boots (the awesome ones the Disney Store was selling a while back) and just gave them to her today. They didn't fit. She was so disappointed, and I can't even exchange them or get something different. That just sucks. And I am kicking myself for not buying the bigger size at the time, because I could have just returned whichever pair didn't fit. But at $26.99 a pair, it just seemed like a lot to lay out. Looking back is hindsight.... ugh.

We were at WDW the first week of December. Frozen stuff was everywhere. It seemed so expensive at the time. We did not buy any of it as my daughter slept through the movie the first go round. After we got home, she got Frozen obsessed and now you can't find the merchandise except on e-bay, which makes Disney prices look affordable.

It looks like some of the stores are starting to get Anna's Coronation dress. I have been calling around looking for the Elsa dress....it is the only thing on my DD's bday list for our trip next month. No one seams to have the Elsa dress, but one store said they just got the Anna dress in. I heard somewhere they are coming out with the shoes too, hopefully those are out soon!

The flat shoes, which are SO cute, are at the Disney flagship store in Times Square. I was just there on Thursday.

If anyone was thinking of buying the Look & Find book, don't waste your money. its pretty terrible. 24 pages but 4 of those pages are the inside front of the cover and back cover plus the title and end page. And its missing major scenes from the movie.

Wow, this thread makes me wish I had bought some of the Frozen stuff when my daughters were asking at Epcot. My daughter's birthday is April 20...I wonder if some will be in stock by then? I would hope Disney would put a limit on items they are short on so people aren't buying in bulk for resale

Trying to find a elsa dress for a good deal is like trying to find a needle in a haystack! I can't pay 250+ for a dress on eBay!!! I hope they come out with more before our trip in May

I was able to get my smaller DD ones from the DS and ones for older DD from someone on ebay that wasn't charging an arm and a leg. They are both so excited. I made them Coronation Dresses for March 17th, the day we are planning on meeting the sisters.... they will be all dress in green too.

Well, my local Disney Store is saying they will be receiving more merchandise this month, probably the week of the movie's DVD release. They re-stock on doll and such every few weeks, but they last for only a few hours. My nephew desperately wants the 4 mini doll set and I have been unable to find it since December. I'm so angry at myself for not buying it at WDW.

Last night walmart had 2 different styles of the Barbie sized dolls of Anna, the huge castle, smaller action figure sized play set, the sled that goes with said play set, toddler Anna doll, baby Anna doll, and dress up dresses. Don't know if they just got a shipment or what, but they had a ton of all the above items!

 

[Funfire240]

if there is something specific you are looking for, DS might be able to put you on a list. Our store is doing that (started doing for us "VIP"s then if you ask about it or know about it they will add you to the list). I just received a call that a figurine set came in today and they are holding it for me until I get off work!!! These will be the toppers on DD's castle cake next month!

 

[lemonears6]

Are all stores doing a VIP list?

 

[lemonears6]

Got elsa doll at target today! Called first thing and there was 1 left. Still waiting on the disney store to get more elsa costumes in!!

My nearest JC Penney has a mini Disney Store! On Monday I found two sets of Frozen pjs for DD, long sleeve top and pants - one with just Anna on the top and the other with both sisters on the top, she's slept in both
