While the main “attraction” of the Disney parks is the attractions themselves, a big part of the Disney theme park experience is shopping. Whether guests are looking for a new pair of Mickey Ears or they’re seeking out some delicious treats, the Disney theme parks are an incredible destination for those with shopping on the mind. This is true for all parks, but especially the Tokyo Disneyland Resort, where limited-edition merchandise is introduced and revealed on a consistent basis. Fans are freaking out about the most recent merch drop, which involves the resort’s iconic mascot, Duffy the Bear.

Some new merchandise was recently released, and the results are shocking. Social media videos captured the frenzy surrounding this new merchandise, with eager guests absolutely tearing shelves clean.

Another user shared a video showing just how intense things got when the stores opened.

Disney certainly knows what it’s doing when it releases exclusive or limited merchandise, but it always encourages guests to treat others kindly and to let everyone have a chance to buy merchandise. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, with scalpers jumping at the chance to make a quick profit on sought-after Disney items. We’ve seen this countless times in the past, whether it be water bottles or clothing. When Splash Mountain closed permanently in 2023, fans were quick to buy up all remaining merchandise, selling items on places like eBay for absurdly high prices.

The Tokyo Disney Resort is located in Chiba, Japan, and opened its doors in 1983. The resort is comprised of two distinct theme parks, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, each offering guests an unforgettable and magical experience. Both Disneyland and Walt Disney World have massive shopping and dining districts that guests can visit in between their time at the theme parks. Guests can find and explore Disney Springs in Florida, a massive district dedicated to providing the very best in food and shopping. Disneyland has a similar location, though its district is called Downtown Disney. From the World of Disney to Harley Davidson, guests can find it all at both of these wonderful locations.

Do you enjoy shopping at the Disney parks? Have you ever been to the Tokyo Disney Resort?
