Apparently, they renamed the store since I was last year, but they still have so many great…read moreofferings. They have a wide selection of Disney apparel and toys available in this location. They even had a lot of the merchandise that is available only for the flower and garden festival. One of the big deals this year has been Orange Bird who is very popular. I found some really cool puzzles while I was wandering around, but didn't get any on this trip. This location is somewhat closer to the entrance and before you get to the world showcase so I tend to recommend shopping on your way out so you're not having to carry stuff for the rest of the day through the park. All the cast members are friendly and we were offered Assistance while wandering the store.

The staple gift shop at EPCOT with anything and everything you could possibly want from the park…read more From Mickey / Minnie ears, to household decor, to festival exclusives, this is the place to get it. It's a huge store, so you'll be spending some time here if you are looking around at everything. They usually keep seasonal or festival items towards the main entrances on either the front or back side of the main store. Staff is easy to spot and they are in abundance at this location as it is almost always busy. There are two main register areas for purchases and there are several registers that are active at any time, so it's quick and easy to check out during most days. Items are higher price, but it's Disney and it's tourist items (souvenirs) so it makes sense. If you are a pass holder, be sure to show your card for your retail discount! Overall: A+ THE spot for EPCOT merch!

Fantasy Faire is a gift shop. It's located in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom theme park at Disney…read moreWorld. This store is both a story book shop and the exit retail space for Mickey's PhilharMagic. As you step out from the attraction, the shop has a lot of merchandise, décor and Disney themed items. This Fantasy Faire shop has a lot of musical and classic Disney items. You'll notice musical notes, instruments, and the centerpiece décor that features Donald Duck tangled in Musical instruments. It's from a scene in Mickey's PhilharMagic! The exterior and interior maintain a village aesthetic of Fantasyland. During Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, I ended up stopping inside this store. The store was well stocked with a variety of Disney merchandise such as apparel, accessors like Mickey Ears, pins, Loungefly backpacks, plush toys, snacks, media accessories and more! This store often features some of the latest themed items in the current park events or seasonal items. Since this store is inside Fantasyland and it's right next to the attraction, it's easy to go inside the store and shop! There are so many options from pins, Disney ears, and more! The store can get a little busy when the show lets out. If you're interested in shopping at Fantasy Faire, I'd recommend stopping inside when Mickey's PhilharMagic is playing!

Tucked right into the heart of Discovery Island, the charming Discovery Trading Company is the kind…read moreof store you don't plan to spend much time in, and then somehow end up browsing for twenty minutes. It's Disney's main gift shop inside Animal Kingdom, and it has that perfect mix of air conditioning, themed décor, and "ooh, I might need that" souvenirs that make it impossible to walk past. It goes without saying that you need to bring money! The prices on Disney souvenirs has skyrocketed as of late. I'm still shocked about Mickey ears costing close to $40! The atmosphere fits right in with the park's adventurous vibe. The shop has rustic wood accents, tribal patterns, and a touch of explorer flair (I just love the decor in here). It's bright, open, and feels like an organic extension of Animal Kingdom rather than just another retail shop. As for what you'll find, the shop's got a little bit of everything. Plushes, pins, apparel, pens, toys, hats, packaged candy, stickers, sundries, and other goodies are in plentiful supply. You'll spot plenty of Animal Kingdom-themed gear, like shirts featuring the Tree of Life, fun Mickey ear safari hats, and wildlife-inspired accessories. I like this store because it's sort of like Animal Kingdom's Emporium (if you know, you know). I like to say if you can't find it here, you don't need it. Oh! And they offer a pretty generous 20% off discount for Annual Passholders. So be sure to flash your pass if you have one.

Discovery Trading Company is right next to Riverside Depot. Both stores share the same shopping…read morespace! It's right across from Island Mercantile as well! This store is one of the first shopping areas you'll see when entering Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It's off to the right as soon as you see the tree of life. Discovery Trading Company used to be Disney Outfitters. Discovery Trading Company offers a wide range of gifts, memorabilia, apparel, snacks, toys, and so much more! If you're a annual passholder, discounts do apply at this store! The team members are so helpful at this location. I was looking at a few of their Disney Ornaments and Snow globes! This is one of the best locations to shop at, especially if you're leaving Animal Kingdom for the day, you can easily stop into this store on the way out of the theme park!

World Traveler is a shop at the International Gateway in Epcot at Disney World Florida. It's at the…read moreback of the park entrance. You can easily get here by taking the Skyliner from Disney Hollywood Studios or from the Caribbean Skyliner. My husband and I ended up taking the Skyliner to go from the back entrance to France, as soon as the park opened at 9:00 A.M. We had some additional time before Epcot opened. Luckily, the World Traveler store was open, and we were able to do a little bit of shopping prior to park opening! World Traveler does accept the Annual Passholder Discounts and the Disney Visa Cardmember Perks. Inside the store, you'll see a wide range of offerings! Some of those include the following Food (snacks like Popcorn!) Mickey Ears Pins Toys & Plush, Drinks (Soda, Water) Apparel & Accessories Gifts & Housewares Magicbands!! We enjoyed shopping at World Traveler! We ended up picking up some summer items like a water fan from World Traveler! The team members are super helpful and friendly here, too!

While there are several other items you can select, those were my favorites. Lots of souvenirs to choose from. Mickey ears were, by far, the most popular. If not at this store, you can find ears in any other shop in Magic Kingdom. Take your time choosing your favorite, and enjoy!

So I have really complicated feelings about this Disney shop & confectionery as this was my work…read morelocation on my Disney Internship (which I did not enjoy). But also because they removed a key item from my childhood to build this (Mickey & Minnie's houses) which kind of broke my heart. It's a souvenir shop. A lot of dumbo merch obviously but so much more. It has quite a large footprint. If you are looking for something sold on Main Street and they do not have it, you may find it here so I would ask a cast member of they have seen that item. It's closet to a character meet up and the dumbo rides. A great (and popular) location to wait out any rain as there are outlets scattered throughout the store (though CM's will not want you to use them) they also have food-most confectionery so candy apples, rice crispy treats, cake pops etc plus ready made food. This is the only location on property that sells my favorite cookie of all time -the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. It's not themed in anyway but it's big soft but not too soft and just decedent. Trust me and try it if you like peanut butter. Lest time we were there we kissed out on it because apparently the store now closed at 3pm. Which upset me quite a bit as I lost out on my favorite cookie bit when I worked there it was open all day so I often was there closing until 2am.

The store is inspired by the Princess and the Frog movie. Inside the store, you'll find lots of home décor, trading items, apparel, toys, and memorabilia. I ended up shopping in this store while my family went on Big Thunder Mountain. The store has a lot of beautiful decorations! You may even find some critters quilting, dancing, and cooking! Since it was the holidays, there was a part of the store that was dedicated to stocking stuffers. It had a lot of small goodies like candy and popcorn! I had a great time at this store! The next time I'm in Magic Kingdom, I'll have to stop by again!

You'll end up getting dropped off inside this shop after riding the Avatar Ride. This shop is pretty unique. When my family and I visited for the Holidays, they had a little section dedicated with a few cast members to try out some of the Robotic Banshees. It was pretty cool! We didn't have to wait too long in line to try it out! You can also make your very own Avatar! They'll take a facial scan and upload your data profile. From there, you can customize your avatar from patterns, hairstyles and more! You can also accessorize your avatar too! No reservations are required for this experience. You can just visit the ACE Avatar Maker while you're visiting Windtraders. The store is beautiful! The walls look like root structures from the world of Pandora! It's so cool!

When I visited the Germany pavilion in Epcot, Kunstarbeit In Kristall had an atmosphere almost more…read moresimilar to that of an art museum rather than a Disney store! The sparkle of all the items inside was one of the first things I noticed. The store had so many collector items like crystal figurines, glassware, jewelry (including Tiara's), collectable Disney items made by the Arribras brothers, and a few other odds and ends. A lot of the displays were actually very impressive, especially the crystal Epcot globe and character statues. There were also some really nice little souvenir items as well! While I was browsing, I noticed a few customers were getting some of their items personally engraved! It was really cool to watch. The store has a lot of items that are collectible and decorative items instead of practical souvenir type items, though there are some inside the store! The crystal art work is truly amazing to look at, but, the pricing for this type of art can be quite high depending upon the item being purchased! Kunstarbeit in Kristall was one of the more unique shops in World Showcase. It's elegant, quiet, and very different from the usual Disney merchandise locations. If you enjoy craftsmanship, glass art, or just want to see some really detailed crystal Disney pieces, it's absolutely worth stepping inside for a few minutes!

German Kristallwork Disney Theme…read more Overall: 4 Stars For such a small store the selection of glass and crystal figures are rather wide. The majority is Disney themed with classic characters enshrined in glass. The prices are variable by size and quality and more or less fair by theme park standards. They make perfect gifts for your mother's birthday that you're missing because you're on vacation in Orlando. If you aren't interested in all the Disney flair there are flowers and small animal figurines that range from $15 to $60. Of course if you are a big spender you can always buy Cinderella's castle for $37,500. Just make sure to buy that as a gift when you've done something particularly bad!
