I have to give credit to Disneyland Paris who have really impressed me so far with this New Generation Festival at the park.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo As I said in my trip report, there was stuff worth buying this year. We bought 6 t shirts but there were about 16 designs we actually liked. I do like the range on offer. And they even have 4 designs of ears. Shame it is a trade off, as the increase the merchandise choice, they substantially reduce the food choices. Shame it is always a trade off at DLP.
Originally Posted By u k fan Agreed. A couple of the items on that page came home with us. I really like the logo with the new characters making up the letters. I think the simple designs work really well. I also have a fab tin of sweets with a repeating pattern of New Gen characters and attraction outlines that I really like!!!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Yep, the Tower of Terror Stitch and the Phantom Manor Goofy tin of sweets went to the office (and I told them I want the tins back). pins, coffee mugs, baseball hat, a foldaway bag with the logo, all joined the collection. I don't think I have flexed that AP 20% discount as much since about 2002. It's great news. Now if management can turn their attention to the restaurant, maintenance and live entertainment issues, I'd be really happy (though we know the economy is not helping, I bet the budget sunk into their new fair ground in the Studios could go a long way towards helping).
Originally Posted By u k fan Yeah, but I do think TSPL will get bums on seats further down the line. 2 people I work with have said they are waiting to go until it opens and with TS3 out this year I think this will be a major draw. Then they can use the money to make improvements elsewhere. I have a Mug, the magnet and a couple of the pens. There was more I wanted, but my priority this trip was feeding 3 kids so I'll spend up next time! It was good to see attractions on merch again. BTW, did you get the extra 6 months on your AP's when you renewed? I'm now paid up until December 2011!!!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Yep Malin - they have a range of hats, shirts and sweets that feature Phantom Manor (with Goofy), Tower of Terror (with Stitch), Carousel with Minnie, Pirates of the Caribbean (though it is the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock) with Tink, and Indiana Jones I think with Chip and Dale. The clothes are in the usual places - Emporium, the store on the Front Lot at WDSP, the Disney Store. The Sweets are at the candy store on Main Street (and probably else where, but I bought them on MS). I was pleasantly surprised. The stores have become even more homogonous sadly, and there is virtually nothing RNRCoaster in it's shop, but the choice of general park related merchandise is much better.
