How Does MerchPass Work? The Basics
Basically, MerchPass is a lottery-style way of purchasing merchandise on shopDisney. Each promotion has a limited time frame to enter, with less than two days to sign up. If picked, you’ll have early access to the merchandise you applied for. At this time, it looks like chosen folks will be notified around a day after the promotion ends and winners will be notified the next day. Additionally, legal residents of the U.S. 50 states (and D.C.) 18 years old and over are permitted to enter.
If you’re chosen, you’ll have until sometime during the next day to purchase the product. For example, the Peter Pan’s Flight series of Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction promotion is between 7/17/20 and 7/28/20. Drawing will be held on or around 7/30/20 and selected entrants will be notified by 7/30/20 at 5pm PT. Lottery winners will then have through 7/31/20 to purchase the item through the shopDisney link provided.
To purchase the items, you’ll need to log into your shopDisney account. From there, you should see them already in the “My Bag” area of your account.
Keep in mind, too, that MerchPass is only for super in demand items. So, things like Disney masks will probably not be using the feature.
How Many Submissions Am I Allowed?
You’re only permitted to submit once to each MerchPass promotion. If several submissions are received, only the first will be recorded. And, most importantly, if you are submit many times, all will be declared void and entrant will be disqualified from future promotions. That should hopefully stop the bots. Nutshell? One entry per person, per product.
On drawing day, look for an email from shopDisney MerchPass – Early Access Drawing to see if you’ve been selected. Those not chosen will not receive an email.
Can I Sign Up for More Than One MerchPass Promotion at a Time?
