We all love Disney, and we all love Disney merchandise...
Disneyland Resort Paris sells a huge variety of merchandise, going from pluches, to figurines, or from snowglobes to clothing... But my question to you is, what new merchandise would you like to see in the future, that Disney does NOT sell yet?
It can be 15th anniversary merchandise, or it can be regular merchandise to be sold 'permanently'.
Any suggestions? Go ahead :wink:
Attraction posters!!!
very nice idea, goes for me too...
what I'd like to see is a new, more elegant line of Interior decoration.
eg. Lamps, Wallpaper... but being more 'grown up' , whereas now it tends to be very 'in your face', bright colors, plastic materials, rather for children's rooms than decoration you would put in your livingroom.
and people... please, with wallpaper i do not mean red wallpaper with yellow Mickey's :lol: , I mean something like Lilly's boutique-inspired wallpaper...
wooden lampstands, nice sidetables, something you would find in, let's say, the Disneyland Hotel or Sequoia Lodge... a more upscale boutique, if you know what I mean :wink: and of course, I know a Disney sofa wouldn't be realistic :roll: :lol:
I like the furniture and poster idea.
With furniture they could do like a nice kitchen rack or something made out of wood with Disney characters nicely carved into the front of it. Obviously they couldn't sell a piece of furntiure that is huge because peeps wouldn't purchase the items due to not being able to get them home. But smaller items, maybe a magazine holder or something. Doesn't even have to made out of nice wood, could be metal or a plastic with bright colours for a themed kids bedroom.
Posters would be coolios but I think the audience for posters of the attractions could be a bit limited.
BAsically, the best that Disney can do in my honest opinion is bring in more quality!!! I am a Walt Disney Classics Collections fanatic, and these are not cheap, but have great quality and are very nice!!!
They have plenty of stuff that looks cheap and gets sold a dozen times an hour. What I'm looking for is more exclusive material, and of a far higher quality...
For instance - I have been doubting to get myself the China for breakfast, but the quality is extremely poor that it will not survive two dishwasher sessions... Also - but that might be just me - I personally HATE it when the items I buy have the "Disneyland Resort Paris" text or logo printed on it... I would like a much more subtile Mickey instead :)

When I was there they had mercgindise from WDW :shock: :o :oops:
More Belle / Princess stuff, but aimed more at the adult collector. I was disappointed that they didn't have any Armani's anywhere when I went in March.
I generally prefer the plushes that are available in the Disney Store over here, I think the quality is generally better. I love the Princess plush dolls, and wish they'd expand the line to feature the Princesses in more outfits such as Belle in blue dress, Ariel as a human, Briar Rose, Cinders in rags, etc.
I think alot of the pins are much nicer in other locales too. I've got some beautiful pins online through Ebay, but I think a lot of the DLRP pins pale in comparison. Unless you're really lucky dropping on them, or make a point of going over specially for them, a lot of the pins on sale at DLRP are fairly standard pins.
I'd also like to see some film posters in English. Plenty of them were available in French, but not in English.
And why do they do lines of stuff but don't include all characters. I'm particularly thinking of the Princess stuff. They had some mini-figurines in March, which had everyone but Ariel included. They also had some postcards, but they didn't feature Snow White and Jasmine. Seems strange not to feature all 6 core Princesses in all the Princess merchandise.
yes indeed, Raptor pointed it out last time, it's merchandising from WDW, it has the WDW logo printed on it... and then underneath that logo is our logo... now this goes just a little too far to me... someone misinterpreted the term 'recycling' i think :wink:
I don't have a problem with that if it's good quality stuff. Obviously somethings have to be unique and feature the icons of DLRP, but I don't have a problem with the generic character merchandise.
I love rides so id love for models of ride cars, e.g; Space Mountain Space Ship, Pirate ship from peter pan ride etc.
id love if they did models of the attractions, like BTM and Phantom Manor
I am not really sure ya know, I always think, I wish they did this and I wish they did that, but now someone has presented us with a question I can't think at all.. lol.
got to keep things exciting here, right Donutter :lol:
any specific item? ... new attraction merchandising, new clothing line?...
not easy to choose something though, is it :D
no! definately not easy to choose. If I had to pick I would probably say...
The clothes that the cast members wear on Phantom Manor and Pirates etc. That would be very cool, to have replica outfits!!!!

That would be so awesome. The purple Phantom Manor suit is just so nice. The pirates costumes look really nice as well, but I think they would be more for fancy dress etc, I can't think of any other time I would wear something like that unless I worked there.
I would wear it all the time!!! haha
I would be more than happy if they would sell nice big snowglobes of the main attractions like SM, BTM, IASW, Peter Pan and so on. Now they only have one of POTC and PM, but both aren't that nice. They have very nice snowglobes of the attractions like Teacups, Dumbo and IASW in the US parks. Just like these ones:

:P More Cheshire Cat stuff!
Quote from: "Masamune":P More Cheshire Cat stuff!
:D how did i know you were going to say that?? :lol:
i love the idea of the PM costume, i would love one! id love to have the princess dresses too! :D
I deffinately think the attraction posters would be great! I was talking about it with my sis too (QueenEm) and we think little figurines of dolls from Small World would be good, one from each country that were quite classy!
I would like to see some of the following merchandising:
- Attraction posters please! The "De la Terre a la Lune" poster would be very popular I assume. :wink:
- More books about Walt Disney Imagineering. Unlike a few years ago, a few days ago I couldn't find a book about Walt Disney Imagineering except for "From Sketch to Reality". Even books about the American parks would be nice like the new book "Imagineering at its Peak".
- More CDs. I would like to see "Walt Disney Studios: the Official Album", including tracks like "Hooray for Hollywood", "Tower of Terror Theme", "Moteurs... Action!", "Animagique Theme", "Disney Cinema Parade Suite", "Finding Nemo Suite", "Amageddon", "High Scool Musicals Bop to the Top" and so on... (and please, design an appealing cover for once! :wink: ) Or would that be impossible due to licenses?
- Now I think about it... wouldn't it be nice to get some CDs and DVDs of the other Disney Resorts for sale in Paris?
More Disney Attractions Merchandise
Like Attraction Models, Photo Frames, Costumes.
Quote from: "Maarten"- More CDs. I would like to see "Walt Disney Studios: the Official Album", including tracks like "Hooray for Hollywood", "Tower of Terror Theme", "Moteurs...

That would be awesome, I would be listening to Animagique theme music for hours, I love it.
Quote from: "raptor1982"Attraction posters!!!
Yes!! Fancy photos and characters infront of them etc :D
I'd like a CD with the Rock n Roller Coaster soundtracks :lol:
Lots of Belle stuff!
:belle:
:tink: it's a small world that they already have in america
:stitch: lilo and stitch experiments
:donald: more disney toys for boys-not just star wars or power rangers
:hercules: goofy and the cheshire cat-to stop my nephew moaning that there's never enough
:minnie: princess dolls clothes
I would like them to do Souvenir Pictures (like the one with Ratatouille I use as avatar) with Jack Sparrow background. I asked for one in Main Street and in Studio 1, but they didn't have backgrounds with Pirates. :cry: They should have more of these backgrounds! Making this picture made us laugh for hours :P

You can as you enter the disney village there is like a little cavavan sorta thing where you can take pictures with people ... well there was a few months back.
But yeah how about disney selling diairies or like perspectives from people who work there such as cast members or imagineers it would be so interesting to read their opnions.
wouldn't it be nice to get some CDs and DVDs of the other Disney Resorts for sale in Paris?
yessss, please :(
i would love to have lots of DVDs about the park even if they were old.
I love watching these things from time to time :D
