Disney Merchandise in Australia: The 2026 Guide
DisneyStore.com.au closed on 30 September 2026, but buying and collecting Disney in Australia is still straightforward once you know where to look. Everyday merch comes from local retailers, while pins and park exclusives now come from overseas stores or a personal shopper.

What changed in 2026
For years, DisneyStore.com.au was the easy default for official Disney merch in Australia. It closed on 30 September 2026, along with the New Zealand and Southeast Asian online stores. Disney has confirmed official merchandise stays available here through authorised retailers, so this is a change of address, not the end of buying Disney. This guide is the map to the new landscape, and it links to a full how-to for each part.
Where to get what you want
| What you want | Where it comes from now |
|---|---|
| Everyday plush, apparel, homewares, toys | Australian retailers like Myer, Target, Zing Pop Culture and Mighty Ape |
| Current open edition pins | Overseas official Disney stores, or a personal shopper |
| Park exclusives and limited pins | The parks themselves, a travelling friend, or a personal shopper |
| Display and storage | Amazon AU |

Frequently asked questions
Can I still buy official Disney merch in Australia? Yes. Disney confirmed official merchandise stays available through authorised retailers like Myer, Target, Zing Pop Culture and Mighty Ape. Only the local online Disney store has closed.
Where do I buy Disney pins now? From the overseas official Disney stores, from fellow collectors, from the parks, or through a personal shopper. Avoid cheap bulk lots, which are usually fakes.
How do I get park exclusives without travelling? Use a personal shopping service that buys in the park and posts the item to you, which also removes the authenticity risk.
Is it safe to buy Disney merch on marketplaces? Established retailers and official stores are safe. Anonymous sellers and bulk pin lots are where counterfeits appear, so check before you buy.
