Ask away...

I and other mothers in South Texas where I'm from love the show. However, we find it hard to come across any party supplies, toys, or even t-shirts of Jake Long. We would love to throw our kids parties using your character. Will Disney ever sell any of these items? If they do, can you tell me where we can find them?
 
At the moment, the only American Dragon items that I know of are the videogames from GameBoy and Nintendo - Rise of the Huntsclan and Attack of the Dark Dragon.

A few years ago, the good folks at the Disney Channel got burned very badly on merchandising for a couple of their TV shows - short-lived series that left the Channel holding a large inventory of toys and t-shirts that they couldn't get rid of.

Now, as a result, they try to be overly-cautious about producing toys and T-shirts for their shows until they've had a solid ratings for at least 2 or 3 seasons. Unfortuantely, for the fans, this means it is extremely rare for Disney Channel to do merchandising of any kind, because most of their shows are scheduled to run only 3 seasons anyway.

So your best bet for getting your hands on some dragon swag is just to keep writing to Disney and let them know that you want it. Contact the Disney Channel. Visit disney.com. And if you're ever at Disneyland, be sure to ask them where the American Dragon ride is. Eventually they'll get the picture.

Disney is actually one company that is very good about trying to give the audience what they want.
