December 2004 – present
LOCATION
Frontierland – The hat shop sits on Frontierland’s main street, overlooking the center plaza. If you arrive in Frontierland from Main Street, you’ll see the store on the left, next to Silver Spur Supplies.
EXPERIENCE
Details:
- Merchandise – Disney clothing & accessories
- Price Range – Most merchandise ranges from $20 to $100
- Unique Features – Window honoring Davy Crockett actor Fess Parker
Crockett & Russel isn’t really its own shop so much as a section of a larger store. The Crockett storefront usually includes Disney clothes: sweatshirts, tees, tanks, the works. You’ll also find accessories like scarves, bags, and yes, hats, throughout the small space.
SHOPPING TIPS
Generally speaking, this shop isn’t ever too crowded. The big exception, though, is right after Fantasmic! lets out. Lots of people hop into Frontierland’s stores to avoid the rushing crowds heading back toward Main Street, so you’ll get trapped in a sea of people in and around the front of the shop. Otherwise, you should be good to go no matter what time of day you visit.
TRIVIA
This store originally went by the “American Buffalo Hat Co.”. It changed to Crockett & Russel in honor of Fess Parker, who played Davy Crockett in the 1950s. Parker was honored as a Disney legend in a ceremony in 2004, with both the name change and a window bearing his name on the facade.
Can I order a davy crockett coonskin hat for my son? We had bought one her loved & wore for 3 days, then it got lost. I want the real one sold at Disneyland grand on tag. We got it on Frontier / adventure land
The shops in Frontierland and Adventureland rotate stock very frequently, so there’s no guarantee what will be for sale during your visit. However, I’ve definitely seen faux coonskin hats before! You can tweet @DisneylandToday or call customer service to check if an item will be in stock during your trip.
Will have to look up at the window next time!
