According to multiple Cast Members, the two-per-item limit instituted last year to curb reselling online has quietly been lifted for most items around Walt Disney World, with a few exceptions.
After consulting with several Cast Members and Leads, it seems the resort has lifted the restriction from two back to ten per guest, excepting a few high-profile lines which will retain the two-per-guest limit.
The rule was instituted last year for all purchases following controversy surrounding resellers quickly buying up almost all new items before regular guests could get a chance. The only items previously exempted were consumables like food and ponchos.
High-profile releases like Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction along with limited edition items, Loungeflys, and MagicBands will continue to be two per-guest, per Cast Members.

This makes no sense. Why even implement the 2 per guest rule in the first place if WDW is just going to remove it a year later? I you need to buy more than 2 items at a time then you are just going to resell them on eBay at a higher cost than what you paid. WDW is not making more money when people buy large swaths of items and resell them for jacked up prices on other sites. It was nice for a change to ACTUALLY be able to buy an item the day or two after it was released because 5 people didn’t come in and clean out all the stores to resell them on eBay. Plus, with the excuse of “supply chain issues” constantly being dropped when items are sold out, this goes right back to the original problem people had of not being able to buy items unless they go on eBay and pay at a minimum 25% more than the original cost.
Great news for resellers, bad news for the rest of us. Items like pins and seasonal merchandise will be in the hands of profiteers and not us mouseketeers.
They’re lifting the limitations because no one is buying merch at the parks. Bob needs to decide. He can’t bankrupt us with ticket prices, food prices, unbundled services like genie plus, photo pass, etc and then expect us to buy merch that he’s hiked 25 to 50% from the Iger days. If you want new merch at a fraction of the price – go to the Disney outlet stores- they have merch that’s currently being sold at the parks – including Galaxy’s Edge merch.
