We have decided to go in April. We will miss the 60th anniversary celebration, but lower crowds are a bigger priority for my husband. I may sneak over for a day this summer to check out the new parade and fireworks.

I am hoping to snag some 60th anniversary merchandise while we are there. Has anyone had any information about when the 60th anniversary merchandise will be available for purchase at the parks?

THANKS!

i don't think anything official - or hints - have been provided yet. Usually the Parks Blog does a preview anywhere from 3 months to 1 month prior - but sometimes I see things pop up.

the only things that have been posted are Artwork from the three (3) lines of merchandise to be created

in one comment by the author she says Merch may begin to appear by May 11th.

and a popcorn bucket shaped like the signature Mickey balloons.

Last year there was a hint, or a post, something that said there would be a 60th merchandise event starting on May 14th through 16th. I thought it was on the blog but I can't find it. However, I entered it into my calendar so I must have read it somewhere. Consider it a rumor. (of course, that's 1 week from the actual 60th opening weekend so who knows).
