Um.....what's to stop people from going to one store, buying their limit, and doing that from store to store in the same parks or the others? Putting a limit on them doesn't seem to make sense.

Or sending another family member in to buy more?

Or even having multiple people at one time go into different stores and buy their limits, then do it again with each person going to the store that another one just came from?
If they really wanted Frozen items that bad, that is.

Makes sense, if you see the prices for Frozen items on eBay and amazon it's jut ridiculous. I saw an Elsa t-shirt selling for $70. And don't even ask about Olaf dolls.
But here is a thought Disney management, just make MORE of the stuff!!!!!!!

I'm glad to see that. When we were at WDW and DCL in January, there was nothing from Frozen available. I would have loved to buy my daughter a Frozen dress but they had zip, zipch, nada. A big miscalculation on Disney's part IMO.

At first I couldn't figure this out...but when I saw that it is 5 of the same item...meh...I mean, who does this really affect besides the Ebay resellers? I can't imagine buying 5 of the same item (unless I had 5 or more kids, and even then...they probably wouldn't want the same thing). Or I guess maybe people XMas shopping.

Good call Disney but will it really work?

I would rather they take the " gold mine" and fast track all of the other projects that are started or to start before starting a new one.

Has Disney done anything with Blizzard Beach yet? With how much merchandise they are selling you would think throwing some Frozen characters and elements into Blizzard beach could be done cheaply and fit with the movie and park's theme perfectly. A winter wonderland in summer, how is that not perfect already?

the best blizzard beach is going to get in the next 30 years is possibly another slide, if they are lucky.
Making them doesn't take long. Shipping them from China does.

If Disney were smart, they'd restrict based on credit card, for example - rather than the individual. You'd then have to rotate credit cards too. Of course you can always use cash... But if you're buying THAT much stuff... You'd have to have one helluva money clip in your pants.

I dont know if Arendelle would feel right in DHS... or EPCOT. It has to go somewhere in Fatansyland. If it were up to me... GOOD BYE SPEEDWAY!

For all of you complaining it is called supply and demand. Nobody complains when the new iPhone comes out and everyone is willing to pay double on Amazon or eBay. You pay a different price everyday for gas and you nobody gets on a blog and complains about that. I bet if you lived within a few minutes of a Disney Theme Park you all would do the same thing.

You know, I never thought of that. I would think an easy thing might be to have "Frozen Summer nights at Blizzard Beach this summer..." with extended hours, songs from Frozen playing intermittantly throughout the night, character meet-n-greets, merchandise, Frozen-themed drinks and ice cream treats.
Any marketing person worth their salt (or ice, as it were) could have a field day with this. It could be advertised as being weeknights this summer only, for example.
And if it involved extended hours like I think it should, it could take a little of the evening load off MK. Not all of it, but a chunk at least.
