Turns out there are just as many adults obsessed with Disney as there are kids.

Shoppers have gone “crazy” for a new range of Disney Classics items that have launched at Big W this week.

Mums lucky enough to get their hands on the fast-selling range have taken to Facebook to shared photos of their massive trolley haul — or lament the fact that their store had none in stock.

The Disney Classics range launched this Thursday as part of Big W’s Bub&Me sale, with the line featuring clothing, bedding, feeding items and toys starting from $5.

Among the most popular items is a $49 floor rug featuring Dumbo, Bambi,Lion King and Aristocats characters.

“Absolutely smitten with the new stuff at Big W,” one shopper shared alongside a photo of her haul.

“That’s what my trolley looked like, $400 later,” another commented, sharing a photo of their trolley.

“My baby is too big otherwise this would have been my trolley too,” one mum joked.

But some said they had missed out, with one shopper lamenting: “My local Big W had sweet F all.”

“My Big W had like nothing!” one wrote.

My local had crap all. I got one outfit everything else didn’t come in,” another commented.

Big W’s Bub&Me sale also incudes 40 per cent off Bonds babywear, 40 per cent off Ecostore and the Infasecure Pivot Move Convertible Car Seat which is now $299 with a saving of $300 while stocks last.

Big W’s health, beauty and baby senior category manager Louis Maddalena said the sale was about helping families on the “precious, and sometimes challenging, journey” of welcoming a baby.

“We know the joy of welcoming a baby into your family can stack up financially, that’s why our biannual Bub&Me event provides our customers with a huge breadth of products and advice from trusted brands, at great value,” she said.

“This year is no exception with the inclusion of the gorgeous Disney Classics Collection”.
