Disney4me Posted June 29, 2025 Report Posted June 29, 2025 To put it plainly, it simply stinks when a really cool Disney souvenir is ruined by becoming too popular. Long souvenir line! The Disney fandom runs deep with MILLIONS of fans all over the world. As such, it should come as no surprise that Disney souvenirs are hot commodities — sometimes to their own detriment. Disney Adults certainly DON’T lack passion, but — sometimes — that means they can go a little too overboard when it comes to souvenirs. There are a few circumstances we can point to when Disney Adults can “ruin” popular souvenirs — like some instances with popcorn buckets. Death Star Bucket in Disneyland We’ve seen plenty of instances where folks show up at rope drop, buy a whole bunch, and limit sales for guests (and kids) who just really want a neat collectible. 2025 Figment Popcorn Bucket at Figment’s Inspiration Station Resale is a major problem, and this won’t be the last time it’s brought up. Then there’s the issue of opening day excitement and Disney Adults flocking to parks, creating long lines and taking a bulk of the supply. We honestly don’t blame Disney Adults for their souvenir enthusiasm, but it can create some headaches for everyone else. Scary Teddy! A very similar issue we’ve seen when it comes to the resale market is happening over in Anaheim with the Disneyland 70th Anniversary merch. Emporium When the merch dropped, the Resort (which has especially had problems with popcorn bucket collectors) saw many folks buy as much as they could, only to resell it at a higher markup. We even saw the Key to Disneyland sell out — but it’s now back, albeit with a tighter purchasing limit. Key to Disneyland Resale and popularity are also major issues with a souvenir you can get outside of the parks — Disney Lorcana sets. This game is so fun! Lorcana is a highly popular card game that can sell out online quickly. Single-Player Decks Ultimately, a lot of adults buy these up quickly, which can take away inventory from fans AND KIDS who would appreciate these souvenirs way more. Here’s a peek at the cards! Speaking of having online issues, we’ve seen Disney x Starbucks Tumblers sell out within minutes. ©Disney These Starbucks collabs are super popular among pretty much everyone, so we get them selling out fast. It’s just a bummer because you can wait for a product drop, and still miss out because they fly off the shelves so fast! ©Disney Back in the parks, buying specialty pins can just be the worst. These limited-edition pins are also in limited supply, meaning lines can get ridiculously long. New pins! These lines form early, and even if you line up and wait, we’ve seen pins sell out before 10 AM. So you could end up waiting an hour plus and still leave with nothing. There’s not a ton of transparency about how many pins are available each day, and Disney drops these pins without a ton of warning, and with no way to streamline purchasing, you’re really placing your fate in chance. Long queue We see this kind of stuff all the time, and there is no obvious fix. Cool Disney souvenirs will always be popular, and we totally get it. If you’ve missed out on these items, DON’T FRET! Disney is always coming out with the next best thing, and we’ll be sure to keep you posted when those items drop. Don’t want to go through all of the stress of booking your Disney World trip alone?
