“Expedition Everest” merchandise is flying off the shelves

Alright. After viewing the amazing animation of "Expedition Everest" 's Yeti in silhouette …

… as well as having a far-too-close encounter with the enormous AA version for this fearsome creature …

How are you going to celebrate surviving your trip to DAK's Forbidden Mountain? By buying some commemorative merchandise at the Serka Zong Bazaar (I.E. The gift shop that you'll find in the exit area of "Expedition Everest"), of course.

There are some truly snazzy items to be found here. Everything from Yeti plush …

… to Yeti binoculars  …

… to slippers that will allow you to have feet just like an Abominable Snowman.

T-shirts of all shapes and sizes …

Though — to be honest — the t-shirt that seems to really be flying off the shelf is one that reads …

Speaking of flying off the shelf, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news for all your Disney pin collectors out there. But it would appear that the Imagineers and WDW cast members who have been taking part in the various "Expedition Everest" preview events this past week have already cleaned Serka Zong Bazaar out of its complete inventory of pins. 

Here's hoping that — in the week ahead — "Expedition Everest" 's gift shop can get another order of pins in ASAP. Otherwise, there may be some very disappointed annual passholders and DVC members attending next week's preview events.
