Disneyland Cast Watches

About Disneyland Cast Watches

Typically, the outside public cannot purchase a Disneyland cast watch. These watches are created to commemorate an event, such as a park anniversary, the opening of a new park, a new attraction, or sometimes just for fun. Often, the watches are made by Fossil Watches and are sometimes limited edition and numbered. The versions that are not number are still made in very small quantities as they can only be sold to Disney employees—those who work at Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Stores, or Walt Disney Studios. Because of their small numbers and uniqueness, these watches are always in high demand. Disney also occasionally creates annual pass holder watchers and other special watches, which are also a limited number item, although perhaps not as much so as the cast watches. Older commemorative cast watches can be found through watch dealers, private sellers and online auction sites such as EBay.

Although these watches are initially available to employees, those employees resell the watches (usually for a profit) and the outside public can snatch up watches shortly after they become available. Many watch dealers now offer Disney cast member watches, including those exclusive to Disneyland and the other Disney theme parks.

Gift Giving

Disney cast watches can create perfect gift giving opportunities. Have a child who is crazy over Bambi but can't find any merchandise because the movie has gone back into the Disney vault? You may want to try some of the online retailers and see what cast member watches are available for purchase. Adults often have a favorite Disney character as well and appreciate gifts featuring that character.

Sometimes, these gifts can be hard to find if the movie or character is not as popular as other, more recent, releases. In addition to the store at Disneyland, many Disney Stores located in various malls around the country carry watches and other products. You might also want to try the following online retailers:

• Fun to Collect—offers inexpensive knockoffs of cast member watches and other fun watches for children.

• Toy Krazy—Disney collectibles searchable by character or type of collectible.

• Disneyana Exchange—prices and available cast member watches are updated monthly.

• Ruby Lane—many Disney cast member watches as well as other Disney memorabilia.

• Yahoo Shopping—locate rare cast member watches, compare prices and read reviews of both products and merchants.

Non-Cast Member Watches

Can't afford a limited edition Disneyland cast watch? A visit to the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California will take you to the shopping area of the park, which is called Main Street, U.S.A. Smack dab in the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. is New Century Timepieces. The store is devoted to Disneyland cast watches, Mickey Mouse watches and many other unique timepieces you won't find elsewhere. New Century Timepieces is a watch collector's dream. They carry Seiko and Swiss Army brands, but even more exciting, they have artists in the shop that will create a custom design.

Still not sure which watch you want or where to obtain it? If you see a model you like on an employee's wrist, don't hesitate to ask where she got the watch. She just might offer to sell it to you!
