Next to the Meet Merida location (adjacent to the castle, in the former home of Rapunzel) is a merchandise cart full of stuff for sale. The movie isn't out yet, but the stuff is here. And we saw at least one little girl tricked out with a Merida dress and a stuffed animal. Never underestimate the power of the Disney brand!
Is it my imagination, or is the $64 Merida dress pretty similar to the Slytherin colors from the Harry Potter universe?
