I just returned from my first visit to Walt Disney World in over a decade, and I was really surprised by how underwhelming the merchandise was in pretty much all of the stores across the resort. After all, I was almost as excited to visit the stores again as I was to ride the rides, but I quickly found that it was pretty much the same boring selection of run-of-the-mill character crap in store after store. The stuff in Tomorrowland or on Sunset Blvd. was pretty much the same stuff you could find in the hotel gift shop. I was hugely disappointed and left the resort with nothing but a Mickey’s Mini Garden.

I think you perfectly express the same frustration that I’ve had trying to find something that I want to buy at WDW. The sheer madness of actually proactively *looking* for something to spend money on and not being able to find anything just blows my mind. Also, your descriptions of the current merchandise made me laugh because I think anyone that’s been down there in recent years knows exactly what you’re talking about. The crass, mindless nature of much of the current merchandise were perfectly summed up. Thanks for the post!
