My merchandise wish list for Disneyland Paris

, , 9 comments
Hey guys!

Feels like I have been writing some really heavy stuff recently! Not in a bad way, but with so much new coming to Disneyland Paris in 2018, there's a lot of ground to cover and a lot of analysis and opinions to be given, I decided I'd give myself a little break from that and write something a bit lighter! I was trying to think what things I could cover, and then without really noticing this idea came to me, and I thought it would be interesting to see other people's views, so I hope once you've finished reading you'll drop me a comment with your ideas.

Today I'm going to cover 5 Disney Parks items I wish were sold in Disneyland Paris, now I have no real connections here, so please don't think these things are actually coming to the parks any time soon, of course if they do happen to materialize after I've published this, I will be happy to take all credit!

So lets get started...

5. Novelty pop corn buckets.



Now this one technically is something DLP already sells, but the range and the availability is so poor compared to other Disney parks that I honestly feel like they're not even trying.

Out of the ones I have seen so far, the Asian parks in particular seem to really make the best ones of these and the biggest variety, my favourite is probably the recent Buzz Lightyear one where he is in his box, I think it's so cool and would be happy to be seen wearing one. There are a few Duffy ones which I'm finding particularly difficult to resist! But I will stay strong, for now!

4. Alex and Ani bracelets

I know right, how cute are these? Alex and Ani bracelets are available online but in the US Parks you can get exclusive Disney versions, I love how simple they are, and I like that it looks equally good wearing just one, or mixing a couple up together to represent your favourite parks.

Price wise I find Alex and Ani to be better value than Pandora, and I feel they are quite subtle and adult, if there's anything DLP needs it's more reasonably priced adult merchandise and these would be a great start, I'd love to have one with Sleeping Beauty's castle or the Earful tower on!

3. Ear hats

Raise your hands if you've ever had a headache from wearing Mickey ears in the park but refused to take them off because it feels wrong not to wear ears?

So I guess I'm not the only one who does this, I love Mickey ears, the park ones are generally a little too small and do need to be worn in, which isn't the end of the world. And I feel comfortable now that I've found my go to ear makers when I want something special that I can't get in the parks. But fear not, this isn't the only option for super adorable headwear! Ear hats are a much more comfortable way to show your Disney style and come in so many designs now that it's criminal that Paris still don't have them. They did for a while sell some light up ear hats that worked in connection with Disney dreams, but we've never really had the full range, certainly not in the 8 years I've been visiting.

Not only are they really cute and comfortable, but you can also have them embroidered in some of the parks too with your name and that's just the icing on the cake!



2. Mystery pin packs



I love pin trading. Disney puns are so cute and so addictive and a really cool way to show off your Disney style, I always end up adding to my collection during a trip and seem to spend hours looking at them on Instagram and Etsy.

So imagine my surprise when I found out I could combine my love of pins, with another addictive hobby of blind bags! That's right some of the parks sell mystery pin packs, themed around films/seasons or events it's a great way to expand your collection and also add some extra fun trying to hunt down a full set!

The pin packs I've seen can work out at really good value and there's always something in each set I'd be happy with. And if you don't like the pin you got? That's ok because now you can trade it with a friend, guest or CM for something you do want. This is a super fun idea and I would pick up one or two packs on pretty much every trip if I could! Pretty please?

1.Spirit jerseys

Now let me start by saying, at first I didn't get what all the fuss was about. Then they started bringing out more colours and by the time pink and rose gold were released I knew I wanted one. I was super lucky and when Soph and Sophie went to WDW a couple weeks ago they picked up and brought me back this classic Minnie Spirit Jersey! It is just the cutest and most comfortable thing! They're kind of baggy but that's the style however I will say I'm short and usually an 8/10 on top and I got an extra small jersey which is perfect!

They're currently on sale in both Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California, and have the name of the resort across the back. But I would so love them to come to DLP so I could represent my favourite park when I'm out and about and I would be buying a few different colours too.

Remember "that grey sweatshirt"? Well let me tell you spirit jerseys are set to be way bigger and it would be criminal for whoever decides what parks carry which merchandise to not get in on the craze!



So that's my top 5, would you buy any of them? What do you want to throw your hard earned cash on that Disneyland Paris don't stock? Drop me a comment!

  3. I absolutely love that Minnie one you've got! I'd love one but don't know if the style would suit me!xx

  4. I agree with every single one, but especially pin packs! It’s so much harder to trade when you’ve got super expensive pins that anyone can buy! At least with pin packs, someone may be after the one you’re trying to get rid of.
