    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    When I went to Shanghai Disneyland a year after the grand opening, Adventure Isle store was full of land and Roaring Rapids merchandise. Flash forward to 2019: only TRON had some merchandise left. Same thing in Hong Kong Disneyland: when the park opened or a new ride opens, there will be an...
