New Fantasyland and Little Mermaid Merchandise?

[Antonio Tucker]

So excited seeing all the photos from the soft opening...I can't wait to go in December! The only question I have is how come there isn't any Little Mermaid merchandise for sale? I haven't seen any in the photos posted, but there seems to be TONS of Beauty and the Beast merch...surely Disney wouldn't miss out on selling Journey of the Little Mermaid souveneirs, right? Are there plans to build a store for this part of the expansion?

Thanks!

Yes the store will be on the backside of Seven Dwarf's Mine Train, facing Mermaid. It is not yet built, and there is no Mermaid attraction specific merchandise currently available.

I actually saw, and I could've sworn it was in the official Disney Blog, a whole slew of new Little Mermaid merchandise available. I thought it was maybe in Sir Mickey's or the shop across from it? I'm looking!!! LOL!

EDIT: Ok it wasn't the official blog, it was another site, that doesn't play nicely with this one so I can't post the picture. But... it was pictures of a huge wall of new Ariel shirts and merchandise.

Yes, it's at Sir Mickey's. Here's some of it. There are also two pins.

So until 2014 Mermaid won't have a shop, isn't it?

I'm sure they'll find a way to open the mermaid shops before 2014, the buildings being built are behind the Mine Train and should be easy to access from the area that's currently open

Yes, I agree I think these will open before the mine ride is finished.

I would assume however that the merchandise they have at Sir Mickey's now is probably what you'll see at the official shop when it's there. There is even attraction specific merchandise in there.

What a hilarious Dinglehopper

That dinglehopper is awesome. This is what I wanted to see. Themed merchandise. It's one of the ways WWOHP raised the bar. Hope there's more like this. But I refuse to look at Bonjour gifts spoilers.

I must have that Dinglehopper!

Any chance her store is open in December? Are there any construction photos?

Pretty sure even if it is, it's going to be the same merchandise that is already available at Sir Mickey's. Just a hunch!

 

[aladdin2007]

Wow what dinglehopper it is!!!!! I didnt know all of that was in there would have liked to have checked it out yesterday, I kept thinking wow no mermaid merch? Never thought to look in sir mickeys, def out of place at the moment.

The aerial photos show some work going on in that area, but nothing really vertical yet so I doubt it would be ready by December.

this is so weird, i was thinking about merchandise this morning and how funny it would be if they sold a selection of forks (dinglehoppers) and they actually have them! thats awesome!

 

[xStephSaysRawr]

Does anyone know how much the dinglehoppers are? This is a serious question because I'm seriously tempted to buy one.

 

[iheartdisney91]

sighhh.... not impressed. i was so excited for all the merchandise but now not so much as seeing that it's nothing really new.
that dinglehopper was introduced at the Broadway show in NYC, i have one already .....
i'm really hoping for more stuff. i'm really upset the shop isnt even open.

LOVE the dinglehopper.

There is a ton of Ariel stuff throughout WDW. It isn't like people can't get Ariel stuff without a dedicated shop for it. If you want stuff, its out there.

A lot of the merch is attraction-specific. I know at least one of the shirts is, the keychain is, the cups and coffee mug are, the bags and hat are, and the dinglehoppers at least have a tag on them (but still have the Broadway logo molded on). Beware of the green travel mug, though! It's $20.00 and it says Ariel's Undersea Adventure. Everything else says Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid. I would have bought the travel mug if it had the correct attraction on it.
