Should Disney special-event merchandise only be sold at the event?

Posted on by AllEars
Special Disney events, such as the Halloween and Christmas parties and park anniversaries, usually mean a new line of commemorative products will be offered for a limited time at the place where the special event is taking place.

Crystal Arts – Main Street Magic Kingdom

Shortly after the expansion was complete, the Market House next door was closed and remodeled. It reopened several months later and was … Continue reading "Crystal Arts – Main Street Magic Kingdom"
