The merch that I’m curious about is what will Dream Store. Why? Because I like me some “Expo Exclusive” stuff and over the past five Expos it’s the only store I’m sure that I’ll get into. I usually get an Expo shirt, but I’ll admit I’m not really excited about a black shirt. I hope they have other colors.
While the Disney Store appears to have some nice items, I have yet to make it into that store…ever! So, I’m not getting too excited about anything there. If I manage to get into that store finally, I’ll worry about it then.
It’s nice to see that Mickey’s of Glendale is separating the store into a pin store and a store for everything else. I’ve only gotten into that store once, so maybe this is the year I return.
While a lot of the merch looks nice…nothing right now is jumping out at me as a “must have.” I’m sure I’ll buy something though.
The stores are very popular, so if you’re going to D23 Expo along with the panels, shopping is something you have to plan for and figure out when to try to get into whichever store you want to try to get into.
