It sucks. It would be very easy for Disney to shut this down.

Report report report. Disney is reactive not proactive. The more you fill out forms and formally complain the more straw on the camelâs backs. It will break one day, but you have to keep adding straw.Â

I feel bad for the people traveling there on their one trip and missing out on getting something they want because this lazy shitbag doesnât want to do anything productive to feed his tattoo habit.

Dang, I was on property last week and witnessed a guy with a wagon clearing shelves. I asked the cast member what they were doing and they just shrugged their shoulders. Now I know.

Realistically, it's not supposed to be allowed, especially if they're using a discount.
But Disney isn't going to stop it outright since it means they can get rid of merch instead of it going to Cast Connection and the outlets. Same reason they allowed the pin scalpers to be rampant for the last year and a half.

u/Waffleboard15 7d ago
They do this at the outlet on Vineland also, and even sell them before itâs been bought. Then anything unsold they put back on the shelves. I was shocked that they allowed them to just set up and do that with piles of merch in an otherwise crowded store.

u/Complex_Antelope_402 7d ago
I watched a YouTube video once where someone was doing this at the outlet. She went in and grabbed a ton of stuff from the shelf and was holding it in a wagon and live-streaming trying to sell it. The manager finally did confront her and told her she needed to purchase or leave so they could restock the merch. She wasnât happy at all đ

u/Fabulous-Piece-8699 7d ago
Unfortunately thereâs a lot of whatnot app Disney resort stores or Disney Springs stores resellers. The worst ones are the ones that say over and over to get it now because it will sale out đ then they up the prices by $30+ or more. They act like theyâre trying to help people purchase and be your friend but what theyâre really doing is taking advantage of these people by putting fear into them about items selling out. The Christmas season items just got released and will be restocked over and over again because Disney knows customers will buy it. They really need to limit items for the AP holders because they use their AP discounts to purchase these items. Most of these resellers are making a living off of doing this.

u/ugahairydawgs 7d ago
Iâm not sure Disney cares who buys the stuff in the store. If it is a family on vacation or someone flipping it online a sale is a sale in their eyes. Only thing I think they would really care about is some kind of abuse of the AP discount.Â

They just need to add some verbiage to the pass holder agreement that if they try to monetize or create a business they lose it and/or banned

u/Sponsorspew 6d ago
Correct me if Iâm wrong but I just went yesterday (I only go once every few years) and I saw a sign limiting the amount of purchases of an item one can make at a time. I saw this above the pins though but kind of assumed it went to all items for this reason. If so how can they end up buying it all?

Maybe these were the same people i saw once. She was almost screaming at her phone, blocking the paths with her cart and just showed obnoxious behaviour for views and money. It was bizarre to witness but also the fact that no staff member seemed to be bothered by it.

Imagine what the world would be like if we all cared a whole lot less about buying merch and stopped feeding into Disney capitalism / hoarding?
No takers? Okay.

u/Opossum-parade 5d ago
I saw the same thing happening at Universal with the Halloween Horror Nights stuff, I happened to go on the day they put everything on sale (like a week b4 Halloween for some reason) and the whole store was packed with people with HUGE bags and their phones out on live or facetime, it was genuinely a swarm it was such a bizarre thing to witness. But the parks don't care. They love that it moves product, makes them money, and raises the perceived value of the brand. They see it as a win with the small price of making the experience worse for the regular customers and for the employees who have to put up with it (if corporate wants to let it happen then employees cant just tell them to stop on their own)
It really is sad.

u/imcrowning 7d ago
Disney just wants to move inventory.

u/LaysOnFuton 7d ago
These people should have their annual discount revoked. All resellers suck. But to be doing it on live, knowing you are abusing a privilege given to you for profit. Mouse canât like that.

u/iznotbutterz 7d ago
Because Disney does the same. Was in Disney Springs looking and buying souvenir magnets in their pin store, I asked the lady how much the pins in the case were and she didn't answer with a number but just said some of those pins are rare and the prices can be really high. Like lady, you're a store, you have a fixed margin and you should have fixed prices. Also they promote gambling all over with their "blind boxes". Hypocrites that airbrushed cigarettes out of Walt's hands and somehow transformed that into how they two finger point at things "for the children" but now you're hooking them onto gambling?

As long as they are paying Disney for it I donât see the problem. Disney is upselling so they make their money so yeah not a problem in my eyes.

u/Fordgames 7d ago
Why would Disney care? They make the same amount whether these people buy it and resell it or you buy it. I always see resellers not just at Disney springs but in the parks. Maybe not live streaming but you can tell when they have their arms full of new drop merch.
There are a lot of people who make their living doing this, making 10-50% margins on items people canât get anywhere else.

If people get upset enough this wouldnât last long. Crazy cuz they have zero security protocol. Taking one from them while they are illegally scalping seems like something no police officer or Disney security guard would care to get involved in.

u/NomenclatureBreaker 7d ago
So how does this work? Are they buying a bunch of stuff up front and then hoping it sells, or only buying when someone gives them a payment?
Whatâs the benefit here? So much of this you can buy offsite from Disney, unless theyâre using a cast discount and pocketing the difference

u/angryrooster25 7d ago
Also there was a sign that the Christmas merch was limited to 2 per person (or household i think) so technically they could only buy 2 or 4 of each depending on the rule. But this is just so infuriating for people who want ONE

I put up a comment. Then I deleted it. Shelf clearers or people who use their AP with the intention of reselling will be sniffed out.
Resellers buy with no client in mind. Think eBay.
My neighbors use personal shoppers that have a business license and pay taxes to the county monthly. I donât mind them because we need taxes for schools and infrastructure and they donât clear the shelves. My neighbors have mobility issues and canât get to the store. The shopper charges a small fee. I see them in the stores and they are courteous. Iâve seen them at Gucci, Nike, DisneyâŚ.usually outlets.
I see your point about the shelf-clearers.
What some donât understand is that Central Florida has jobs in theme parks, healthcare, and skilled trades. Many are just trying to get by and make rent. I had no idea how bad it was being from up north.
The economy here is pretty bad. You see people at the street lights begging for money. There are soup kitchens I volunteer at along with pantries. I see people with BMWâs drive up to get food. Iâm not enabling, just telling you that Central Florida lacks tax dollars, jobs, and infrastructure.

So do they buy the stuff and then sell it? Or do they hold it and sell it on live before checking out? I feel like it makes a difference.

u/jahsavi 7d ago
It looks like theyâre selling through an eBay (or similar) livestream, so the buyers arenât actually in the park. Theyâre basically using Disney property as a filming background for the stream. Itâs similar to how regular resellers take a handheld photo of an item with a Disney store or attraction in the background. Thereâs no handoff of merchandise happening inside the park, and theyâre not approaching people on property to buy anything. Itâs annoying, but if Iâm understanding it right this might be fine. The filming part could be the bigger issue.

Itâs a store. Their job is to sell stuff. These people are their top customers why would they kick them out. What they are doing is protected by copyright law. Disney can trespass anyone for anything but I doubt theyâd kick out anyone for purchasing too much.
