The Princesses and the Merchandise

I went to Disneyland yesterday and it was awesome. I rode lots of rides, ate a bunch of overpriced food and spent way too much money on stuff I now have to figure out how to get back home. It made me really want to revisit those movies I love like Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story. It wasn't until I got home that I realized what Disneyland had not instilled in me: a desire to see any of the more recent Disney movies like Tangled or The Princess and the Frog which I have heard all my friends talk about and compare but still haven't seen. In fact it seems every time I listen to other people talk about the two movies it’s to compare them. In spite of that, besides a Tiana (look her up, I had to) Christmas ornament and a stuffed frog, there really wasn't any merchandise for either movie in the Main Street stores. It exists too; anyone who's been in a Disney store recently knows how much it exists. So why is none of it in Disneyland (outside of Fantasyland)?
