Whenever shopDisney releases something new and popular we see the items FLY off the virtual shelves. Sometimes the items are gone within moments. MerchPass is now live and if you haven’t heard, it’s a new way that Disney is trying to even the playing field for shoppers. It’s also how they hope to reduce technical glitches. Customers will sign up and have a chance to be randomly selected to purchase the new Arendelle Castle Collection. We’ll show you how the new process works!
For this current drawing, you must enter the drawing between 7/13/20 at 7:00AM PDT and 7/14/20 at 11:59PM PDT. The winners will be selected on 7/16/20, with entrants notified via e-mail by 7/16/20 at 5:00PM PDT if selected. You won’t receive an email if you aren’t selected.
You will select the items you wish to purchase on the next page. You can select individual items or all of them. You’re not required to make a payment once you sign up! You’re also not required to purchase the items if you are selected.
If selected, you have a limited amount of time to make your purchase. Hop on over to shopDisney here to get started.
We’re curious to see if Disney will continue this new lottery-based system and how well it will work for Disney collectors. We’ll be on the lookout for more popular collections and whether they will be apart of the new MerchPass system!

I participated in this and never got a notification that I got the item or not…..
Tami:
That’s because the notification email doesn’t come until 16th.
It’s only the 15th.
If you are chosen in the drawing, youll receive a notification email by 5pm PT / 8pm EST
This is such a crock. Disney is terrible at special merchandise releases. The Trina Turk ears have never even been online! I don’t doubt they sold out- but to put up the “can’t find it page is totally irritating”. This new lottery just adds another ridiculous layer to the process.
When build a bear released the child they had a waiting room where you could queue up and wait- it would update and notify you when it would be your turn to purchase. Plus it reminded you the item could sell out. It worked perfectly.
Disney is a huge company and it is so irritating that the shipping site it just not very good. Passholders and Dvc can’t get their 20% off, merch sells out immediately and when they do the east/west releases all I ever see are people posting stuff on eBay. Why don’t they crack down and only allow 1 item pp. ? I get that it’s difficult w more than 1 kid but at least per family more people could buy stuff.
And just disgusted with the whole thing!
You’d think they could get it right- they mostly get everything else right!
Is there a way to use your Passholder discount when shopping online?
Jeneane, I don’t believe so.
