You can actually go to your computer or phone, push a few buttons and have that Donald Duck mug miraculously show up on your doorstep a few days later. It turns out that in present day, there's this great new invention called the Internet. In a way, it's sad that exclusivity is gone, but if you do face a gap between visits and need that fix or need to buy a gift, etc., Disney has made it a whole lot easier. But for the most part, you really had to be there. There was a merchandise hotline (which you can still call, at (877) 560-6477), where you could call and order something you either forgot to buy or realized you couldn't live without. In the old days, if you wanted Disney Parks merchandise, you basically had to visit the Disney Parks. Aside from my growing need to see all the new stuff opening this spring and beyond (like the opening of Pandora, Happily Ever After fireworks, and the opening of Star Wars land) at Walt Disney World and to eat a Mickey-shaped pretzel, this also presents the issue of how do I get my Disney shopping fix?
I went this past winter, but now we're doing work on our house and then (gasp!) are taking a long trip in June that doesn't involve the mouse-so it likely won't be until late summer or early fall that we go back. As I'm sure many of you Disney die-hards can relate to, I'm in the middle of a long gap between Disney trips, and I just don't like it.
