Creator's Key Takeaways

the issues with these merchandise releases are worse when they sell them on shop disney than when they do them in the parks

universal is absolutely doing everything they can to reach out and make their pass holders feel special

the level of guest service that i've seen from the cast members at walt disney world has been something i have not seen in probably a decade and a half

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wait for merchandise to reappear on shopDisney or in parks rather than buying from resellers at inflated prices
If you can't find a dining reservation for your party size, try booking for a larger party and then adjusting the number when you arrive
