Unless you see something in the photos posted in the links above, I wouldn't worry a lot about seeing 60th merchandise in October. I expect that there will be a lot of merchandise for the 60th and it will roll out throughout the course of the celebration. This was just the first round of stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if more stuff trickles out on a fairly regular basis. In terms of the popcorn buckets, I also think those will be around for a while, so hopefully they will still be there in October (or perhaps there will be new designs). The other option is (if you're willing to pay for shipping) to call Disneyland Merchandise Mail Order and see if there is anything they can mail order to you. I don't think they can send the limited edition items, but non-limited edition items may be ordered via the phone (normally).I am not coming till Oct. I am very interested in the 60th anniversary items, and do not want to pay inflated rates...is there any website you trust who has a good rep to get the 60th stuff without a lot of overhead? I am hoping the items will be n sale on the disneystore site...not yet...i have been checking on eBay and Amazon but I think the prices are way too high...40 for a popcorn bucket?
You can also call Disney Merchandise Mail Order and see which items can be mail ordered. You'll have to pay for shipping, but they do honor the Disney Visa and Annual Pass discounts.I may just have to place an order with someone to get additional things that I can't seem to get out of my mind.
I have both sets of the earbands. The all silver ones came out before the start of the 60th (I got mine back in March). The black ones (with the blue foam bow) were released specifically for the 60th, but they don't say the 60th anywhere on them.When we were there last week, the black sequined minnie ears with the blue jeweled bow were being sold all over the parks. They are 60th ears, but I did not see where they actually said 60th on them. They did also have a sliver sequin version but again I don't think they said 60th anywhere on them, even though they were sold in the 60th merchandise section
The Parks Blog entry said that a new collection will debut approximately every 60-days. So if the first set was released in late-May, the next set should come out later this month (July).Does anyone know when the next decade mugs/plates will appear? Love the first one and got that on the last trip, but can't seem to find any info on when the next ones come out...
