Credit: DisneyGuests are shocked as a Disney Park indefinitely halts sales of its exclusive merchandise. Are resellers to blame? Or are guests going too far?
It is no secret that Disney Parks worldwide are packed with nearly irresistible merchandise, from the latest pair of Minnie ears or Mickey ears to the newest Spirit Jersey, collectible pins, and your favorite Disney characters turned into adorable plushies, to mention a few.

However, the Disney Resorts in Asia arguably have the most amazing Disney merchandise, with unique collectibles and location-based items, including exclusive items from Zootopia at Shanghai Disney Resort and World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland.
Unfortunately, Tokyo Disney Resort has been forced to cease the sale of multiple exclusive items indefinitely as crowds continue to flood the Japan-based Disney Resort’s new land.

Fantasy Springs opened to all guests on June 6, 2024, at Tokyo DisneySea. The breathtaking immersive land is home to groundbreaking attractions inspired by the Disney animation movies Tangled (2010), Frozen (2013), and Peter Pan (1953).
Of course, no Disney attraction would be complete without a gift shop full of irresistible merchandise to remind you of the magical experience you just had. And Fantasy Springs did this almost too well.
So well in fact, that most of the land’s exclusive items have entirely sold out. X user @tdr_doria recently shared a list of sold-out items, including Fantasy Springs Peter Pan and Captain Hook T-shirts, bath bombs, hats, and more.
The account added that restock dates were unclear, meaning that Disney Park would be forced to halt the sale of these items indefinitely while waiting for the next supply.

User @tdr_doria has shared multiple lists of sold-out items at Fantasy Springs, from clothes and accessories to stationery, keychains, and more. These items are inspired by Frozen, Tangled, Peter Pan, and Tinker Bell and are exclusive to the immersive land.
Of course, with the long-awaited opening of Fantasy Springs, Tokyo DisneySea must’ve expected longer-than-usual wait times and exceptional sales.
Unfortunately, while many guests must’ve purchased new items based on their favorite Disney movies and the all-new attractions, resellers surely stormed Fantasy Springs, contributing to the selling out of so many exclusive items and the massive cease-of-sales at the park.

While unconfirmed, it wouldn’t be surprising, as resellers have a history of sparking debate at Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, Shanghai Disney Resort, and Disneyland Paris.
Additionally, Inside the Magic has reported on guests going to extreme lengths to get their hands on exclusive merchandise at Tokyo Disney Resort, using fake babies to purchase additional items.

Sadly, it is unclear when Tokyo Disney Resort will restock the sold-out merchandise exclusive to Fantasy Springs and resume sales at the new immersive land.
Just a few weeks ago, Disney caused outrage online as the company revealed a divisive upcharge at Disneyland Paris, making guests pay an additional fee of nearly $50 to send merchandise from the shops at the parks to their hotel room.
It is nearly impossible to believe that Tokyo Disney Resort ran out of stock barely a month after the long-awaited opening of Fantasy Springs. Still, Inside the Magic wants to hear your opinion on this shocking situation! Do you think Tokyo DisneySea should’ve planned for a higher demand? Are resellers to blame for this indefinite shortage?
