Merchandise Shortage

Made in China.

Made in China and stuck on a container ship off the coast of California.

Maybe disney could sell pieces of construction debris from their ongoing projects.

Yes it’s quite apparent that many are close to that point, not sure if Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe will make it much longer

Was there on Sunday night for the Xmas party and was almost depressing to see the lack of Christmas items available there.

Pooh corner has more food items than anything else.

I feel like I saved a huge amount of money over my Thanksgiving trip because there was close to nothing I wanted to buy in the stores. My kids barely even asked for anything.

I'd take one of the dolls from the It's a Small World refurb at DLR...

Or print outs of future projects! You hand the cashier 75 dollars and they print a picture of the new Toon Town! Hopfully you get there early enough so the store printer dosen't run out of ink.

Even brave Mickey has seen too much and has to look away from the carnage of the empire

Quality is worth paying more for. A cheap t-shirt that rips and/or has holes in it/fades after 12 months vs. a shirt that holds up for years but costs more? That's a no-brainer.

That's a misleading generalization- pay more for quality unless that is just your own personal opinion. I'm all for quality wherever it comes from.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time until they get into the NFT scam... errr... business. Pay real money for a collectible something you'll never physically own!

"Look, kids! We have a digital copy of a piece of a parade float!"

Disney already has. Someone on another group posted pictures because they bought them all. There was like an Iron Man, Sorcerer Hat, Elsa. Disney’s Golden Moments.

For all of you concerned about shortages at WDW, don’t worry.
There’s plenty of merch for sale on eBay .

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I think we are likely to see some store closures across WDW.

No doubt…”temporary permanent”

Yuck. World of Disney was a zoo last night (a Monday). I'd hate to see what it will be like if more shops close and people think (like I did Sunday night), "I'm not navigating that crowd in (insert theme park gift shop) when I can just go to World of Disney."

Da hell was a noted contrarian like you doing there?

i wouldn’t worry too much. i’m sure they’ll find a few ways to get more money out of guests.

Here’s an ide-er:
What if they shut down shops for day “peasants”…but instead make them a “perk” for high priced, short hour night tickets? Maybe even some special merch only available then off the ship from the factory outside Shanghai Disneyland?

Less staff…more draw…higher prices?

…who’s game?

Made in China.

Yep…let’s find some people with deep pockets to blame for that

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Help wanted - to unload containers off of ships.

…pay….more…

Spirit Halloween this year had arguably better merch than the Momento Mori has had for years.

 

[CastAStone]

I am confident that at this point, raw material shortages (related to shipping) and the warehousing crisis (no room anywhere) are just as if not likely more responsible for the merchandise shortages as shipping container unloading, which is actually improving.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I’d bet dollars to donuts that Disney is reliant on 3rd party warehousing services, whose warehouses are currently full of paper towels and Pelotons.

Went to Lowes yesterday for the blue plastic electrical boxes --they haven't had any in weeks PVC pip fittings hard to find them. Trying to find a Whirlpool water softener back ordered. Find it hard to believe this is all pandemic related since we have a high level of vaccinated people now.

…so THAT’S why peloton lowered their price?

The Walmart near us has a ton of containers sitting in what is the side parking lot and access to the Tire Center...they aren't empty.

They should remove the merchandise from the Main Street Cinema to help fill out other stores. They could put up some extra screens to help fill the space.
