There’s also a lot of fun new merchandise available (although I’m not too sure about the Merida sippy cup where you drink from a straw in the back of her head.. brains, I need brains… it’s Zombie Merida).
Can’t make it to the parks? Some of the above merchandise is available at the DisneyStore.com too.
