Disney+ Subscribers To Get Early Access To New “Acolyte”, “Deadpool & Wolverine” & “Hocus Pocus” Merchandise
Disney has announced that this summer, Disney+ subscribers in the United States will be getting a special perk of early access to merchandise at DisneyStore.com. The promotion will be running from June through to August 2024.
Each month, there will be something new to add to your collection and the items available early can vary from apparel, trading pins, to ear headbands and more for the highly-anticipated Star Wars series “The Acolyte”, upcoming Marvel Studios theatrical release “Deadpool & Wolverine”, and Halloween fan-favorite “Hocus Pocus”.
Subscribers can find these perks by visiting DisneyStore.com on the second Wednesday of the month between June and August. To get these items early, you’ll need to use the same Disney account that you use for Disney+.
This isn’t the first time that Disney has offered Disney+ subscribers early access to merchandise, though most of the previous items generally end up becoming available to everyone, but again its worth nothing, this is for “early access”, not an exclusive product.
Roger’s Take: From Disney’s point of view, this is a win-win situation and offers some corporate synergy while also making it look like subscribers are getting something more valuable than it really is. Based on the release dates of the three titles they’ve announced, I’d guess in June we will get “The Acolyte” merch, with “Deadpool & Wolverine” following in July and then “Hocus Pocus” in August, just in time for Halloween!
