MerchPass allows shoppers to enter a drawing for the chance to purchase a limited release item. If you want to purchase a limited-time item, you will need to enter the drawing for that specific item during the entry period. Earlier this year the Disney Castle Collection was released, a series of pins and ornaments exclusive to ShopDisney, and while this collection was under the old purchasing system the next set will be the Arendelle Castle collection and will take advantage of the Merchpass.
ShopDisney excerpt.for the upcoming collection release:
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Enter Promotion between 7/13/20 at 7:00 AM PDT and 7/14/20 at 11:59 PM PDT. Open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C. who are 18+ at time of entry. Limit 1 entry per person per item offered in Promotion. Random drawing to be held on/about 7/16/20, with entrants notified via e-mail by 7/16/20 at 5:00 PM PDT if selected. If entry is selected, you have through 7/17/20 to purchase item at designated price. See Promotion Terms for full details on how to enter, eligibility requirements, odds of being selected and limitations. Void where prohibited.
These drawings are for the opportunity to purchase items, and you are not required to purchase if you are selected in the drawing. If you want to purchase multiple items in a collection, you will need to enter different drawings for each item. The number of items in a collection will dictate the number of drawings. It’s a safe bet that if this is successful it will be used in the future for other items that are deemed popular and hopefully it alleviates all the problems ShopDisney has been having.
