Having just been there, I spotted Nick & Judy on the back of a morning parade float, but otherwise they had no meet & greets outside of the paid party events. And, weirdly, there was absolutely no Zootopia merchandise anywhere. No toys, no shirts, nothing. Kind of strange to see zero merchandise at all for their biggest animated film of the year (and currently the #2 movie of the year).

They sold it at the start of this year....It phases out quickly...https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...ks-for-new-merchandise-from-disneys-zootopia/

With it coming out on DVD/Blu-Ray, it's certainly still a popular film. And the stores have no shortage of Frozen merchandise. But Zootopia? Moana? None. I heard quite a few guests asking for Zootopia stuff and the CMs just shrugged.

This also happened when Wreck it Ralph came out...They had merchandise but, then it quickly moved to the Outlet Stores off property...Which is where most of it is right now...

Sorry for the bump, but I'd like to bring this to everyone's attention as there's chatter about this since November - there is a rumor buzzing around that they're headed for Epcot!

Time to bump this thread after Zootopia won the Oscars for Best Animated Picture

So should they start clearing Rafiki's Planet Watch now? lol

Hope not. Zootopia is a great film and could make for a quality theme park attraction/land, but doesn't belong in DAK. DHS would be a far more appropriate placement.

I agree completely. I just had heard that Rafiki's is the place they are potentially eyeing.

Maybe now that they've won an Oscar, we'll actually see some merchandise, too!

Probably to expand that space where The two other Oscar winner's are M&Ging.....Just call it Award Winning Corners...

I don't see any sort of "Zootopia" land in any of the parks BUT Animal Kingdom. It's the perfect movie to represent the park and the world that we should be living ... not that it actually belongs there, so that's where it will go when it happens 20 years from now. No not just Animals = Animal Kingdom. But do you see a land or ride going anywhere else?

Well, DHS is a catch-all in desperate need of new attractions (even with SWL and TSL coming online), so yeah, I can see it there.
