We all know that merchandise has gotten stale lately. (Though to be fair, there are some gems to be found.)
We all know it's harder to find Disneyland-specific stuff in the parks, because it's just cheaper to mass-merchandise everything and sell it in both parks. ("Disney Parks")
We all know that a lot of the merch is trying to be hip, with stupid (imo) stuffed animals and clothing items boasting popular food items, or modern-day slang ("Oh Snap" on a gingerbread cookie sweater or "Salty" on a Mickey pretzel T-shirt). Slight tangent: can any guests who visited in the 60s/70s/80s remember Disney trying to use merchandising or change characters to be relevant to the biggest-spending demographic? I can't.
But this is just kind of gets on my nerves: the generic boxed descriptions. Simple, boring font, totally sterile.
Example: ("Buttons, ya think?")
That said, please share pictures of when merchandise was good!
