Disney Merch is really getting strange (photo attached)

It's the opposite of a waste of money. I used to wear $80 dress shoes that would wear out after about 6 months. I invested in a few pairs of actual high-quality shoes that are going on 8 years and still look absolutely brand new. $400 every 10+ years is a lot cheaper than $80 every six months.


I buy sneakers for around that price but they're not "good quality." They're mesh and foam and made in a third world sweatshop. But no sneaker is going to last as long as a welted full-grain dress shoe, so sneakers aren't something to spend money on.

I do the same. I'd rather buy quality that lasts years the first time, versus having to replace a cheap piece of junk every 6 months. I've found some people have a very hard time with that concept, though.

I didn't really pay attention to the 50th stuff!

Really we will probably just get some Flower/Garden themed stuff. It's usually fun.

I might do the same. They'll probably have another OB sipper.

Yep.

My parents bought me my Gucci bucket purse in 1988. Rite of Passage for an Italian girl.

That purse has lasted all these years and when I did want to replace the strap recently, went to the Gucci store and they did it for free.

Now thats quality!

Find me a store in that resort that is nothing but shirts themed to the attraction and not a small corner with one or 2 items and hopefully a size not small or medium..Then I'd be happy.

Splashdown Photos and Briar Patch when merch for the ride was still being produced...

Unrelated but I wish Runaway Railway had an actual store and not a tiny kiosk awkwardly stuffed in a corner, the merch pool is too small for what they consider to be a flagship attraction.

Same thing goes for Studio 1 store by Muppetvision..Your expected to see Muppetvision or any Muppet related merch and the store was themed to it only to be a generic merch store..

This one struck me as a bit odd. It is a holiday wreath themed to Monsters INC. It caught my eye though, because I saw a guy buying one.

Dammit I googled these and now I'm getting old lady banner ads.

Quick, google "new balance" so that it's old men ads instead!!

Try getting a Rise shirt. You know. Their most hyped and anticipated attraction this century.

I googled "rise shirt" and somehow, there's something about them that seems to resonate with my image of you...

I know. Once.

Now all you can get is an expensive orange jacket or a plastic helmet.

There are virtually no name-brand designer bags of any description (unless you're getting up into the thousands of dollars) that use legitimately high-quality leather. Portland Leather Goods uses good leather, but their construction isn't the best.

Women's shoes have the same issue. Men can get a $400 pair of shoes (on sale for $200) that will last 25 years. A woman's $400 pair of shoes will fall apart in the same amount of time as a $29.99 special at Kohls.

What the heck is that all about? They're just making up random crap now.

Would have been nice to at least see a Rise shirt, right? Merch has fallen off a cliff in recent years, descending into stupid crap like spirit jerseys and bad designs and color schemes.

I'm not sure I even recall seeing a t-shirt the first time we rode in March 2020.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

I think it all stated going downhill just around the mid early 2010's when I first saw this shirt at the parks..

You can have one that says "Toilet" with the fumes coming out as well because this is bad as it gets..

Disney needs to start selling these...
