I just got back from Walt Disney World about 2 weeks ago. This trip was a little bit different from my usual ventures, as I went down looking for specific things: blog ideas, photo opportunities, and merchandise to write about. During my journey, I spent two separate nights shopping and dining at Downtown Disney. The first night was a quick jaunt through the shops, just to get an idea of some items to purchase before my departure. I didn’t want to spend a ton of time in World of Disney this first night, as I was extremely tired from my trip and had a very busy day planned starting the next morning.
As I normally do at World of Disney, I went looking for specific sections that I like to browse. These include the kitchen/household items, the jewelry, and the pet items. Lucy, my English bulldog, can always use a new Disney item. I quickly walked through the store, browsing a bit, and working my way through the crowds. I went to the normal pet supply area but didn’t see anything. I assumed that maybe they moved the merchandise. Knowing that I would be back, I thought nothing of it and moved on to leave the store and catch the bus back to Pop Century.
Day six of my trip, I returned for a more leisurely stroll through the shops of Downtown Disney, hoping to pick up a few items and find Lucy something special. After searching for some time for the pet supplies to no avail, I approached a cast member hoping for some direction. She proceeded to tell me that the entire resort was COMPLETELY OUT of all pet items! Stunned, I asked her if she knew when they would be back in stock. Her answer was June. June!
I had plans to do a blog about all the cool pet-related items that you could pick up while at Walt Disney World, but that idea is an epic fail for now. I was so disappointed with this that I plan to write a letter. I’ll let you know how this goes.
In the meantime, if anyone has a trip nearing and doesn’t mind going on a scavenger hunt, I would love to hear what you find! Never in my wildest dreams would I think that all the pet merchandise would be gone! I would love to hear about what pet merchandise is your favorite or what you wish that they had.
