Of course Brer merchandise isn’t selling…hasn’t been available for years…you don’t think if it was available now it wouldn’t be selling out constantly?

I guess they are saying that because the 30th anniversary merchandise didn't sell well apparently? But yes if Disney had Brer merchandise now it would be a fast seller

They do still. They are on pins and some shirts.

Ah I'm not really a pin guy so I don't keep up on those. I'm still bummed I couldn't get a sweatshirt I'll pay Disney's mark-up not some scalpers.

We’ve been there 4 times in the past 3 years and my DD was there last week and there was NO Splash merch. ( and she even checked at Cast Connections)

I agree that it would be selling well now given the impending closure and perceived future scarcity, but I could also buy the argument that it has not historically sold well relative to other park merchandise.

I bought a Splash Mountain mug in 2018, and the shop was full of them and other Br'er merchandise. I don't think it started selling out (or being resold at massive markups on eBay) until after the announcement of the retheme in 2020.

The Splash gift shop closed with the pandemic and never reopened. That merch never really saw the light of day again

I remember pictures of resellers buying bags of the stuff after the announcement. I’m not sure which store it was from, but it was definitely on property.

It was. They disappeared shortly after that

And there was basically 2 items…the coffee mug that was mentioned and a very plain green Splash Mountain T-shirt…when the announcement was made, those were the only 2 skus of SM merchandise available…of coarse they were hoarded, but like you said, the shop was closed because there was nothing left to sell. Bottom line is 2 skus does not a ton of SM items make (unless you’re talking about quantity of those 2 skus…

Kind of ridiculous they didn't put a limit on purchases for the Splash merch. I think Disney as a whole is trying to consolidate most of their merchandise offerings. I noticed a lot of Disney Parks branded stuff rather then Walt Disney World. Its cheaper to be generic. Why make attraction specific merchandise when Mickey and friends will sell better? I do think there will be grand opening Tiana Merch but I think after a while it'll fade to the generic Disney princesses branding.

I think Disney just wanted to get rid of the Splash Mountain merch ASAP.

All I can see of the plush is one nose, a bunch of feet and a whole lot of plush butt.There were also plushies. Lots and lots of plushies.

You can see bits of all three Br’er characters distributed in the five large clear plastic bags. In volume, they’re carrying more plushies than anything else.

I can see Space Mountain selling more. A lot of shirts or mementos for a kids first roller-coaster type of thing.
