Also May has similar stuff in most stores (not necessarily Disney, but most physical stores of varying types) for Memorial Day. It's only a few weeks away.

over in the irls at Home Goods type places I'm seeing a MUCH heavier move to murrica, like twenty murricas for every rainbow

I’m mostly hearing positive things about it, a lot of casual traders and some professional traders don’t like the attitudes that some of the Frontierland mega-traders have (although the latter group only hates them because some people have zero social awareness and actively try to trade multiple pins and/or money for one pin).
One of the main complaints I’m hearing from traders is how vague Disney is being regarding what constitutes as “small handheld Pin Trading accessories” to the company, there are some binder-style pin carriers that can be held in the hand but for one reason or another Disney hasn’t actually specifies what fits that classification.
How could you forget the wonderful Sam Eagle popcorn bucket we’ll be getting next week?

About a year ago Disney World had an area with carnival games they were shutting down. They had exclusive dinosaur plush toys for prizes, but they were rapidly running out of these with the closure still months away. Next thing you know normal plush toys were being used as prizes. They never came right out and said it but everyone came to the obvious conclusion that these were overstock that wasn't selling. It wasn't any new stuff and most of it were things that were an obvious swing and miss like the nuimo of the girl from Turning Red and a plush toy of the female sloth that appears in Zootopia for five seconds.
What should make an appearance but pride Mickey and pride Stitch plushes. In Fall/Winter. And they had enough to last until it shut down.
And that's their heavy hitters. Stitch gets his own day where they release a fresh Stitch line to go along with all the normal stuff a month in advance. They release like four Mickeys per year because they usually sell. But they had plenty of these things still laying around.
What does that say about how well Pride sells?

With their movie division taking so much of a hit lately, I think they realized how important the parks are now so they're probably terrified after what they saw happen to Bud Light.

The parks have been on the decline for decades. EPCOT is one that comes to mind. But the enshittification has really accelerated in the last decade. The parks aren't as fun or creative as they once were.
You now remember the Dreamfinder. He was cool. Disney boardmembers never understood him. Thats why they murdered him and why the parks aren't fun anymore.

To be fair you can still find Pride merch throughout the parks and Disneyland is still having its "after-hours" Pride Nite event in June.
The ironic part is that, while Dreamfinder is lying dead somewhere in the Everglades, Figment (and Orange Bird to a lesser extent) has become the de facto park mascot for the WDW complex. Heck I can find merch of him on the Disney Store and The Disneyland Resort.
My recent visits to the Disneyland Resort have been okay but their Lightning Lane crap is a necessity if you want to do everything in one day and you're in a group (some rides offer single rider passes but they're not too common), even more so if you want to ride Radiator Springs Racers or Rise of the Resistance. But those two rides aren't covered by their Multi Pass, you'll either have to buy a Single Lane pass for a separate charge or buy their Premier Pass.Kinda glad I haven't been back to the disney parks since 2012(I just went to the water parks in 201.

Figment surviving the Imaginapocolyse is a silver lining but the ride needs to be rebuilt. They fucked it up badly. Allegedly the bearing that supported the 3 Dreamfinder blimps (which the ride cars rotated around as the set rotated like a merry-go-round) wore out and they decided to cut out that part of the ride then retool it.
The retooling was never as good and nowadays is some lame British dude and figment. Why they didn't replace the bearing, which seemed to have been a replaceable part that one would expect to be a consumable?
I think the answer is Disney management at the time. They wanted exciting rides like Space, which is fun but is also not a ride for the whole family and even as a healthy young adult I only ever rode it once per day at the end of the day and still almost fainted the last time I rode it. Meanwhile, The Land is still super popular at EPCOT exacting because it's a chill fun ride that is creative.
Soaring was a smart addition as well.
