With the pandemic happening everywhere around us, families are struggling to find activities for Easter this year. We may not be able to see the Easter egg displays sprinkled around the Walt Disney World Resort this year, but we can go on a virtual egg hunt thanks to some of the official Disney Instagram accounts.

From the shopDisney official Instagram account:

Mark your calendar and join us for a virtual Easter egg hunt on April 10th at 9:00am! Be the first to correctly identify the hidden storytelling details woven into 3 exclusive Disney Backstage Collection T-shirts and win a 3-month subscription.

Monsters, Inc. Wishables Now on shopDisney

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

Because wouldn’t be in this mess if they’d have sent in the CDA. Celebrate Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! at Disney California Adventure with this new Monsters, Inc. Wishables mystery plush collection featuring Sulley as a stand-alone plush and mystery bags containing plush of either Mike Wazowski, Roz, Boo, the Monstropolis Transit Authority Taxi, and a super-secret mystery variant! I’ve been collecting all of the ride vehicles specifically, and one of the cutest details is that there’s an actual cavity in the vehicles for you to put in another Wishables character, or other small plush like TsumTsums.

Go ahead and give your bank account a little scare by clicking on the item headers below to shop. While this monthly release is currently only available on shopDisney due to the Disney Parks extended closure, we’d expect these to make an appearance once the parks reopen. However, these are a Limited Release, so if you absolutely need them, take a chance and purchase them now while supplies last!

New “Disney Castle Collection” To Debut on shopDisney

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

If you need more collections to hoard, there’s an all-new merchandise series coming to shopDisney called “The Disney Castle Collection”, which celebrates the storied spaces of our beloved Disney heroines. All 10 releases will feature never-before-seen portrayals of their enchanted dwellings. Each series will include a high-end figurine and other products inspired by each castle. Live in the magic by collecting them all!

The first release in the collection will feature Cinderella Castle. The items will be available online via shopDisney on April 4 at 7:00 AM (PST). These collections tend to go fast, so make sure you have your credit card handy or already loaded onto shopDisney for a faster check-out process. This first series will also be available at your local Disney store at a future date, once the stores reopen after COVID-19 related closures.

The Cinderella Castle series will also feature an ornament, journal, pin, and Limited Release puzzle by Ravensburger.

In addition to the limited-release pins, a specially-designed case will also be available, which also includes a completer pin with the collection logo.

Other princesses (or rather, their castles) to be featured include Anna and Elsa from Frozen, Mulan, Snow White,  Rapunzel from Tangled, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine from Aladdin, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Merida from Brave, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Future release dates for the Disney Castle Collection will be revealed at a later time.

Disney Gift Cards Temporarily Unavailable On ShopDisney

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

With brick-and-mortar Disney Stores closing on March 17 due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Disney fans looking to shop for merchandise and gifts can still turn to shopDisney.com for all their online shopping needs. However, those looking to purchase gift cards are out of luck, as shopDisney has temporarily suspended the ability for customers to purchase physical gift cards via the website.

Customers are instead encouraged to purchase Disney Gift Card eGifts, which can be loaded onto your smartphone and scanned at various locations, or otherwise used via online checkout on shopDisney. While the reason for this is unknown, this is likely attributed to the current move towards reducing unnecessary contact and encouraging social distancing.

There is no confirmation on when physical gift cards will be available again to purchase via shopDisney.
