Each time Disney opens up a brand new attraction, significantly an E-ticket, there’ll invariably be an avalanche of associated merchandise accessible. Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, which opened this previous Memorial Day Weekend at Walt Disney World’s Epcot, isn’t any exception.
The gadgets vary from customary to cool to quirky (Star Lord helmet, anybody?). In the present day we’re going to try among the standouts, and I will give a tip on purchase them with out ready in a protracted line.
With out additional ado, listed here are just a few of the gadgets that grabbed my consideration.
Let’s begin with clothes. Anybody of my era remembers having a Members Solely jacket within the Eighties, and I consider that fashion is again, no less than within the type of the bomber jacket worn by Peter Quill/Star Lord within the Marvel motion pictures.

You’ll be able to have your individual model of the jacket, comprised of fake leather-based, as per Disney. I do know i am an previous ’80s geek, however this one is definitely sort of cool. Adults can have one for $99. There’s additionally a kids’s model for $79.
As ordinary, there are additionally a number of variations of T-shirts accessible. The one which stood out to me is sort of easy.

It options symbols of the ships from the trip with the heading, “Spaceships,” and says Guardians of the Galaxy. It is yours for the considerably steep worth of $36.99.
For our restricted version merch collectors, there are some things for you, too.
Pin amassing and buying and selling is not on the fever pitch it was just a few years in the past, however some, like me, nonetheless prefer to seize just a few that remind them of one thing particular. For annual passholders, you may once more get your ’80s geek on by shopping for this restricted version pin.
There is a restricted pin to honor the trip opening date.
It appears to be like just like the cassette combine tape you already know you all made in 1984, and on the entrance, it says “Launched 5-27-22” in honor of the trip opening date. It does not have an version quantity that might be bought, however seize it quickly, as a result of Disney might pull it at any time.
Additionally within the restricted time solely class is the Guardians Magic Band.

The band is black with a star area that reminds you of the trip, the Guardians brand and pictures of the spaceships. It is, once more, accessible for a restricted time and prices $39.99, in keeping with different “specialty” bands.
Getting again to fundamentals for a second, there are after all the traditional assortment of T-shirts, mugs, and key chains. Nothing fallacious with that and on this specific case, will give Disney props for making them fascinating. For instance, there is a mug with funky design.

It has a brand seen within the movies and says “Terra Division.” It appears to be like like a mug a personality within the motion pictures would use. It’s ceramic and runs for $22.99.
Now on to the actually cool and distinctive gadgets.
The primary of those could fall into the Marvel Universe versus Guardians class, however remains to be sort of a neat merchandise and a part of the gathering. It’s the glove we noticed worn by Thanos, Ironman and quite a lot of others within the Marvel movies, the one which carried the infinity stones.

The glove could be worn and moved round (I noticed just a few children sporting them across the park) and whereas this is not a guaranty to this impact, if you happen to snap your fingers whereas sporting the glove, unusual issues could occur. The glove runs a worth of $99.99.
If you wish to persist with Guardians and play Star Lord in battle, it is advisable to be sporting his helmet from the movies with that leather-based jacket from above.

The helmet could be worn and comes with some enjoyable sound results. It goes for $49.99.
I am together with this final merchandise as a result of frankly, how might I not? Groot by no means fails to crack me up, and this gadgets falls proper into his wheelhouse.

This Groot is just a few inches excessive. While you push a button, he lights up, performs music from the movie, and blows bubbles. It is actually humorous in motion and can solely set you again $25.99 if you happen to’re a fan.
Now for that tip I alluded to initially of the article. There’s, the truth is, a Guardians merchandise store. Usually, Disney Parks sights outlets are positioned proper on the trip exit, so you don’t have any alternative however to stroll by means of them in your approach out. This one, generally known as Treasures of Xandar, is within the Guardians constructing, however is across the nook from the attraction exit. There is a rope exterior for a queue, and on the day I visited (just a few days after the trip formally opened), there was usually a few 10-minute wait to get in.
Your tip (which is an apparent one since Disney broadcasts it on billboards throughout the World Discovery part of the park), is that viritually all of the gadgets are additionally accessible with no wait within the Creations store a brief stroll away. I checked this out, and it was true. There’s a big part in Creations devoted to Guardians merchandise, and it is a close to equivalent choice to what’s at Treasures of Xandar. The Xandar theming within the store is futuristic, and there is a huge Groot statue on one of many shows, but when there’s any sort of a wait, it isn’t value it. Head to Creations to get your goodies.

If you cannot be at Walt Disney World, I simply checked Shopdisney.com. Whereas they do not have every little thing, there’s a pretty good seletion of Cosmic Rewind merchandise, together with that Groot bubble blower.
General, I would give Disney a thumbs up on the Guardians merchandise. You all know I like my attraction-specific merch, although I supposed you can argue most of that is film associated if you wish to nitpick. Whereas Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities at Galaxy’s Edge is in a very totally different league when it comes to the store being themed, the choice right here jogged my memory numerous what’s there, numerous “one in every of a form” distinctive gadgets associated to the subject material. In case you’re a Marvel or Guardians of the Galaxy fan, you will not be dissatisfied.
That is all for in the present day, people. As I log out, a reminder about me and household. As I wrote about earlier, our household’s plan was to spend just a few months in Orlando after which head over to Prague within the Czech Republic for an expat project. Whereas we miss Florida, I am pleased to say that we made it to Europe (together with our canine) and are having a good time. No worries about MousePlanet. I’ve a ton of concepts for articles already in my queue, have a fall journey deliberate to Disneyland Paris, which I will be pleased to debate, and a visit to WDW set for the vacations. If anybody’s enthusiastic about listening to about our European travels, I am additionally on Instagram at gregginprague, so be happy to look me up.
Everybody keep pleased and secure and see you actual quickly!
