On a recent trip to WDW we purchased a few Disney Racers for my son. Needless to say, he LOVES them! But, I am not having any luck finding them since we returned home. Are these only available at WDW? If so, can you purchase them anywhere (website)? And, is there a complete list of all available (it says on the back of the box "collect them all"). Thanks so much!

Are these the ones with a pull string on the back which you pull to set them in motion?
Let me know please.
If not, can you describe them. We have a few for Alex I think are the ones your talking about, but want to make sure.

No, the cars that I am referring to are "Hot Wheel"-like. They retail at the parks for $4.00 if that helps. Thanks so much!

Okay, I have never seen those here so can't help on that front, but you can call: Mail Order shopping: 407-363-6200 for park merchandise by mail to see if they can send you more!
Good luck.

Also:
Disney Monorail (1 car)
HERO set (I believe there were 4 cars in this set)
Steamboat Wilie (1 car)

I've been able to locate most of these via ebay - my son is 4 1/2 and loves playing with these cars. I've been buying them up and saving them for our upcoming trip. I'm going to individually wrap them for surprises throughout the day (hoping this will lessen all those souvenier purchases while we are there!!!)

Hope this helps someone!

Really neat! Were they discontinued through the parks and shopping? Just wondering because if they were still available, maybe Leanne could get some to buy for us through the site!

It's hard to tell. We found a few throughout Disney World but I do know that some of them have been discontinued. It's hard to find a good boy toy (that they don't think is too girly) and these fit the bill. Definately worth looking into!

Very neat! Definitely try calling the mail order number Leanne gave you, they get the merchandise direct through the parks (it's part of Disney too) and just send to you. If they have any you're looking for, you can get them easy!!! Easy to work with too.
