Disney Souvenirs: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Disney World is a treasure trove of souvenirs and merchandise that can make any Disney fan’s heart skip a beat. From plush toys to collectible pins, there’s something for everyone. But, as any seasoned Disney-goer knows, these souvenirs can be as elusive as a hidden Mickey.
One day you’re strolling through the parks, and the next minute that must-have item is nowhere to be found. That’s why it’s essential to keep your eyes peeled and your wallet ready for when you spot that perfect Disney souvenir.
EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival
One of the best times to find unique Disney merchandise is during EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival. This annual event not only showcases stunning floral displays but also introduces a whole new line of Disney goodies.
This year, the spotlight was on a new Lug bag design featuring the beloved Orange Bird. These cute skeeter bags were a hit with fans, both in the park at EPCOT’s Creations Shop and online at the Disney Store.
The Race to Snag a Souvenir
If you had your eye on one of these Orange Bird Lug bags, you better have quick reflexes. As soon as they hit the online store, they were flying off the virtual shelves faster than you can say “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.”
In fact, these bags sold out in minutes, leaving many Disney fans empty-handed. Even in the parks, the supply quickly dwindled, with no guarantee of a restock in sight.
So, if you’re hoping to add one of these coveted souvenirs to your collection, you’ll need to be on high alert and ready to pounce as soon as they become available again.
