Theme parks are great fun to visit with your friends and loved ones. And you would probably wish that those good memories remain with you a long time after. What better way to do that than to get some memorabilia in the form of some cute merchandise from the theme park!
Visiting Tokyo DisneySea with my partner was an amazing experience and I wanted to remember those great times for a long time. So I got myself some of their merchandises. While buying them, I took into consideration whether they might serve a greater purpose in the longer term than just being decorative. Because really what is the point of getting something that is just going to collect dust in your home?
Well, in this post, I have written about some of the merch I bought from Tokyo DisneySea that I am still happily using months later. Hope they will help you in deciding what kind of merchandise you would like to purchase for yourself!
1. Printed Boxers

2. Nail Clippers

No one likes trimming their nails. It's one of those boring tasks that you just have to do. So, why not buy a Winnie the Pooh nail clipper that at least looks cute and might bring a smile to your face while clipping your nails.
There are other cute designs for you to choose from like Mickie and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Green Alien, etc. Pick your favourite character and the next time you have to cut those pesky long nails of yours, maybe you will find you can smile through that lacklustre task after all.
3. Bamboo Ear Pick

Okay, maybe some of you have never used this handy little tool before. What can I say? I have ears full of wax so an ear pick comes in real handy once in awhile. And having Toy Story's Alien bobbing his head on the end of my ear pick just makes me happy on those days my ears feel like they need some cleansing.
4. Printed Face Mask

Face masks have become household essentials since the Covid-19 pandemic. Though things are beginning to settle now and mask-wearing requirements have eased in most places, it is still wise to have a couple of spare masks around that you can get your hands on when the need arises. What better masks to have than a colourful, printed Disney-themed mask!
The one I got is an exclusive 'It's a Small World' collection item, a cloth mask with adjustable ear hooks. There are Disney-character faces prints on these masks too for those of you who are more adventurous. Like this Simba mask...

Price: ¥1,200
5. Printed Jacket
 |
| Can you spot Jasmine, Aladdin, Jafar, Abu or Genie on my Aladdin-themed Jacket? |
I actually got my jacket seven years ago and am still using it to this day. It is in as great a shape even now as it was then. Looking at the prices of Disney's jackets these days, I am glad I bought mine for a relatively more reasonable price. Honestly, if the prices are too much for you, maybe consider getting a Shirt or T-shirt (see next item).
6. Shirt/T-shirt

7. Green Alien Mochi

| Chocolate, Strawberry and Custard-flavoured Mochi in a Cute Container |
I know, I know. You are wondering how does this count as a merch for long-term use when you are just going to eat all the mochi on the spot. Well, I did devour all the mochi within a matter of minutes but you see the container in which the mochi is contained? Yup, the one with Toy Story printed on it.
That container definitely served me a much longer purpose that just holding those mochi! Flying back home with me, that Toy Story container now occupies an honorary position on my work desk as a storage container for any odd bits of stationery I have lying around.
Go crazy, think creative! You could use it to contain your stationeries or candies or hair accessories. Really, just about anything that might fit in there!
8. Hairbands with Mickey/Minnie Ears

Okay, so you are probably not going to find much use for these in your everyday life. Admittedly I don't. Why did I put these in then? Well, because you can use them for all your future Disneyland visits!
I bought mine from Paris Disneyland nine years ago and have used them twice in Tokyo DisneySea and further plan to use them when I visit my next Disneyland theme park. Come now, don't tell me the idea of wearing Mickey ears don't tempt you!
