WARNING: Disney World Crowds Feel “Dead” Compared to Tokyo Disneyland

Fantasy Springs put Tokyo Disney Resort on the radar of American fans. That’s a crazy sentence for us to write, as we’ve been praising the parks in Japan for over a decade and imploring Walt Disney World diehards to visit.

New Mr. Tape T-Shirt Warns of the Consequences of Not Rewinding at Universal Studios Florida

Mr. Tape has gotten rather popular with fans at Universal Studios Florida, and now guests can celebrate the character with a new T-shirt. This fictional character is the mascot for the fictional “Mega Video Rental” inside the 2024 summer tribute store.

Mr. Tape T-Shirt – $30

Gray t-shirt with a graphic of a cartoon VHS tape and the text "IF IT'S NOT REWOUND... YOU WON'T BE FOUND." Displayed on a wooden rack.

The T-shirt is heather gray with a red screen-printed design on the front.

Gray T-shirt with a red cartoon of a VHS tape, arms crossed, frowning. Text reads, "IF IT'S NOT REWOUND... YOU WON'T BE FOUND." Hanging on a wooden display.

Mr. Tape is featured on the front of the shirt. Above and below the character reads, “If it’s not rewound… you won’t be found…”

This wording hearkens back to the old adage of video stores everywhere: “Be kind, rewind.” Only here, the tone is much more ominous.

A gray T-shirt features a cartoon character with the text "YOU WON'T BE POUND" and a small logo below.

The Tribute Store Plaza logo is printed beneath the second half of the shirt’s phrasing. This logo can be seen on signage at the entrance of the Tribute Store.

See other merchandise available at the 2024 summer Tribute Store. Check out our full tour.

Are you a fan of this slightly menacing VHS tape? Will you be picking up this Mr. Tape T-shirt celebrating Universal Orlando’s latest original character? Let us know in the comments.
