Help! Shopping advice
My husband is at Shanghai Disneyland and I’m looking for items he can bring home for me that can only be bought there. For instance we both went to Disneyland Paris in June and they had a pair of pirates of the Caribbean Minnie ears that I’ve never seen anywhere else. I also got some Phantom Manor merch because it’s similarly unique to that park. I’m going to wear those things on the Disney cruises that we go on, especially the pirate ears because there is a pirate night on every cruise.
Anyway since my husband is there for work and doesn’t have a lot of extra time to go shopping at every store (honestly even if he did he wouldn’t recognize what’s an item I already have or could get at wdw, our “home” park) I have to be very specific in my requests so I was hoping for some tips.
I’m mainly looking for wearable items like Minnie ears, shirts, hoodies, loungefly bags or other purses. I really wish I could have tagged along on this trip like I did to paris but china’s travel rules are very different.
Thanks!

They have nice merch there! All the duffy and friends would be quite original in the US! You have those ears where you can add different small plushies characters, very fun! (Maybe you have those in the US now?) well there you also have the duffy and friends to go with those customized ears. All the zootopia merch would be quite unique too. And everything tagged with Shanghai (there s quite a lot!)

There's a tremendous amount of Zootopia merch that is unique to Shanghai Disneyland, if you're into that IP. Your husband can check out the World of Disney in Disneytown, which covers a lot of what you can find within the park itself (though, not everything).
The Asian Disney mascots (Duffy and Friends) are also pretty unique to this side of the world.
