“We are particularly happy to launch this one-of-a-kind collection dedicated to Sleeping Beauty Castle –the icon of our destination-which will allow our fans to take home an authentic piece of magic. Besides, this project is for us an opportunity to collaborate with a local French company that shares Disneyland Paris’ environmental and social values”, said Jean-David Marque, Merchandise & Retail Director at Disneyland Paris.

Collection will be available as of September 9th at The Storybook Store (Main Street U.S.A., Disneyland Park) while stocks last. Prices of items will range from €30 to €140.

I think it's a great opportunity if you're in the parks on that date, but you probably will have to be very early to beat the vloggers and influencers to it. Would have been nice to purchase some items online.

Also, this could have been good PR for Chapek if Disney donated (some of) the profits to ESAT, the company they partly collaborated with. ESAT is the Establishments and Services of Assistance through Work - hosting people with disabilities.

I think this is great! I have a genuine railroad spike from the WDW Railroad.
When replaced as part of regular maintenance, old spikes like these go to scrap but instead I have my own piece of the Magic Kingdom.

I think it's cool. Instead of just throwing away the scrim, turn it into something people might want.

I think that's a pretty great thing to do. It doesn't get completely ditched and off to landfill or wherever, and there's a market for it for people wanting an actual piece of the disney parks.
