I have great news for fans of Disney-Pixar’s “Finding Nemo.” During recent visits to Disney Springs Marketplace and Epcot, I “found” new products featuring several favorite characters such as Nemo, Dory, Crush, Squirt and Bruce. These new items are part of a regular assortment update that takes place every few years at Disney Parks. You may recall reading a previous “Finding Nemo” article in 2012 when I visited Disney’s Art of Animation Resort at Walt Disney World Resort. Here’s a look at some new merchandise guests may find during their next visit to Disney Parks.
The updated assortment includes a host of items including apparel, home décor, pins, seasonal goods and more. One of my favorite items is the Dory-themed ear hat which I photographed outside The Seas with Nemo & Friends at Epcot.
Guests will also find several shirts for adults and kids that have new artwork created by Disney Design Group artists. The Bruce shirt seen in the first image is perfect, while the shirt with the phrase “Mr. Grumpy Gills” makes me laugh. There is even a shirt that shows you how to speak whale just like Dory.
The “Mr. Grumpy Gills” artwork was also used on a D-Tech phone case. Other “adoryable” apparel includes turtles Crush and Squirt as well as Dory.
Finally, guests will find new mugs, magnets, a mystery pin set and a detailed Dory-themed ear hat ornament.
In the coming weeks, I’ll share a look at new products created for Disney-Pixar’s “Finding Dory” coming to theaters on June 17, 2016.
Look for these items and more in select merchandise locations throughout Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. The Shop Disney Parks mobile app may also have select products available for shipping directly to your home. To download this free app, please visit DisneyWorld.com/Shop.
