Brudda Bear has some great advice there too! World of Disney is awesome for one stop shopping, but they do sometimes sell out of some items. Any store that does sell out though you can have them call around the park and they can tell you what store they have it available in.

He also jogged a memory I had forgotten about. Disney has a special phone line for merchandise that you can call and ask for specific merchandise by description and ask where it might be located. Contact Disneyland® DelivEARS Merchandise Guest Services at 1-800-362-4533 or send an e-mail: [email protected] you can also order directly through them, or you can arrange shipping through them for anything you buy in the park. Some items they will have a special where you can get free shipping (but I think it is only in the continental United States). They are usually very helpful and know the merchandise well enough that if you describe it good they can figure out what it is and where it is sold.

And I just found the site that lists where the smashed penny machines are and what is available:

Oh I forgot there is one more tiki related thing in the park to see: the Finding Nemo submarine ride has some tikis and an underwater erupting volcano. I have not seen it in person yet, but the technology looks pretty cool: they somehow figured out how to make animated cartoon movie projections underwater, so the characters are all exactly as you see them in Finding Nemo, but are against real backgrounds. The underwater volcano looks particularly impressive on video I have seen.:)
