It's located in the marketplace section of Disney Springs. The store offers a wider range of artwork and collectables, including paintings, sculptures and even limited edition prints! The merchandise inside The Art of Disney spans across many different Disney franchises. Some of the art work include pieces from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to even Frozen and Moana! You can also find collectibles such as pins or keychains. The store also offers customization services, allowing you to create personalized artwork with your favorite Disney characters!! It's super cool! Unfortunately, the store doesn't offer direct shipping to your house. There is a separate service called Disney Parks Merchandise Mail order. You can use this service to order merchandise over the phone and have it shipped to your house. The prices may vary though compared to in-store on mail order. You could easily spend several hours inside this store, looking at all of the beautiful artwork! There is a wide range of merchandise and collectibles to explore!

Take a moment to just look around at your surroundings and up and the ceiling. The Imagineers did a great job designing this shop.

You'll find a lot of clothing in here for children and toddlers, tons of toys so you're little one will certainly be begging for something (probably many things), there are also jewelry items in here for little girls. You'll also find the usual like autograph books, trading pins, etc. There is a cooler in this shop that holds bottles of soda and water.

But, I love the adorable Disney theme festive gear even on a hot summer day. In the past, I would give this place five stars. But on this visit, I was a bit disappointed. They used to have more variety. They would have on themed clothing, accessories, and more decorations than ornaments. They also used to have more decorations for other holidays, especially Halloween. I bought Haunted Mansion merch the time before this, a and squinted Jack Skellinton shirt before that, plus other things. They also used to have cute items to decorate your car, like the tiny mickey ears. Another complaint from this trip is that some families let their kids who were upper elementary school age, so not babies or toddlers, play ball around the ornaments, and throw items around, I know this sounds petty on my behalf, but really? Does not sound appropriate in a room full of glass. I will be back, but I do hope they return to selling a larger variety of merch.

On the latest Disney World trip that my family took over the Holidays, I ended up waiting for them inside the Serka Zong Bazaar as they rode the Mount Everest ride. This store has a lot of gifts especially Mount Everest themed! You'll find a wide range of snacks, pins, toys, apparel, and accessories! There are also a lot of décor throughout the store that are Yeti themed. I really enjoyed looking at the Yeti themed shirts and the toys! In the middle of the store, there is a pin selection. You'll see pin starter packs and a lot of Animal Kingdom themed pins like the Lion King and Mount Everest themed. Disney's Annual Passholder Discounts and Disney Visa Cardmember Perks do apply at this store. This is also a great store to stop in especially during the summer!

Nothing really special going on here. Serka Zong is just your typical theme park gift shop where…read moreafter you ride the ride you are forced to walk through it to either wrap back on to Expedition Everest or to move on to something else. The shop technically starts with the area where you can buy the overpriced pictures from your ride. Nice gimmick if you're a sucker for that, but it also gums everything up for the people not staring with their mouths open at the screens. The shop itself is fairly small and is packed with "artifacts"- characters-clothing and merch which of course are all Himalayan or Yeti themed. After probably going through this place sixty or seventy times during our many visits, one of the children wanted a stuffed plush Yeti. Whatever. Goofy as hell looking, but definitely unique and "Bob" the Yeti has been well loved. There are usually only two registers open which of course means that when things get busy, get ready to wait to pay. Ugh. I hate shopping & stuff in all of its forms but for the average sheeple consumer this place will be a huge hit especially with its interesting themeing. www.wdwkingdom.com/wp-content/gallery-master/2016/03/14/uploads/o_1adr58vb21epi5urjj53f51luso.jpg www.wdwkingdom.com/serka-zong-bazaar-animal-kingdom-asia-shopping/

They have a tremendous selection of pins available along with some special pins that you can only buy if you're a season pass holder or a DVC member or other others. Every time you visit, you will find new selections of pins along with many of your old favorites. If you're looking for blind boxes, this is a great place to shop as well. They always have other types of merchandise available in limited supply, but they do have a really good selection of the programmable wristbands if you are vacationing or just want your ticket to be held electronically on your list. The cast members here are always friendly and I believe there is always a pin trading board available. Everything here is Disney priced but so far as pins go most of them are fairly reasonable. They do occasionally get something very rare or larger sized that can be on the pricey side, but there are always pins available for anyone shopping here. You can find all your favorite characters represented and many places represented. Basically, if it's Disney, there's a real good chance that there is a pin of it somewhere.

Pin Traders is located at the Marketplace in Disney Springs. It's next to Once Upon a Toy, Earl of Sandwich, and the Marketplace Carousel. Current hours are from 10:00 A.M - 11:00 P.M, but times may change, so make sure to check the Disney World mobile application! This place has so many pins! Their lanyards and keychains are pretty cool here too! It also has MagicBands if you're looking for a new MagicBand for Disney World. Pin Traders does offer the starter sets if you're new to Pin Trading! Some of the pins at Pin Traders include Theme Parks, Resorts, Animated Features and so much more! My daughter found the Up grape bottle cap at this Pin Traders store and the beauty and the beast pin she was looking for! When we visited, it didn't seem too busy inside, but it is a open kiosk store. It's probably one of the best locations we visited for pin trading!

Ever find your favorite souvenir shop... and wonder why no one else knows about it?…read moreWell, sorry because I'm informing Yelp! Ziwani Traders is tucked away by the Safari Treks, but it is by no means small! With a full bakery case and multiple rooms full of merch, Ziwani Traders is a gift shop walking through... always. Animal Kingdom has the two HUGE gift shops at either side of the entrance by the Tree of Life, but... they are always crowded and sometimes not used for the newest drops. Ziwani Traders has the latest park Loungefly backpacks, themed tshirts to the safaris, and tons of African themed merch! The prices are Disney prices, so the value is really in the space and peace that surrounds this hidden gem. Even for a smaller size, the store has five checkouts and plenty of cast members available for questions and to keep the shop clean and organized.

Always worth stopping in the stores at Disney as you never know what you might find. The only thing that's not surprising is the cost of anything you want to buy because everyone knows Disney is an expensive place to visit.
