My husband had to travel to Florida for work and I had the opportunity to tag along. This is the…read moreone place we were able to visit during our stay that I specifically requested. I am a huge fan of Disney in general and wanted to come here specifically to get some ears. I thought about Cinderella or Tiana but the employee I asked said they were both out of stock right now. I ended up getting Fragment inspired ears instead because I thought they were cute, though I did almost end up with a pair of Nightmare Before Christmas inspired ears. While I normally wouldn't spend almost $40 on an item I can't see myself wearing a lot, this was a rare exception that I'm glad I made. The employees were super helpful and things were well organized, even with a huge crowd of people. If I ended up back near this store again and am interested in ears, I feel like I'd have no choice but to come back simply based on how expensive the selection is.

World of Disney offers Disney visitors a chance to find just about all souvenirs under one roof…read more Whether they were still deciding on which tangible memory to get, or just wanted a reminder of the park's, it's most likely under this roof. It's massive with a brilliant use of space and has something for everyone. You can spend hours here, and the staff is always polite, friendly and fun. While there are deals to be found at times with close-outs and discontinued items, expect to pay full Disney resort prices here but no matter what you're favorite character or movie is...it will be somewhere in The World of Disney.

Came in clutch for sandals!!!!!…read more So o traveled to Florida for a work related conference. And silly me didn't check the weather before traveling (oops lol). I should have done that beforehand. But I found myself in Florida, in the pouring rain- and when I say pouring, I mean POURING rain. I needed an umbrella and some sandals. My socks and shoes were soaked from the rain and puddles. I came into sunrise gift shop and found sandals, umbrellas, and then some! I found water, snacks, and all kinds of things- even cute clothes!

Terrible place, lady was rude from the start. She was hovering over my kids and we were just at the…read morefront door/counter area. She kept saying over and over if we were ready and all I had was sun screen while my kids were still looking at the toys. She then also charged $19.99+ for one single can of sunscreen. Didn't realize it til we were already back at our hotel.

In Japan--Epcot Japan--we stopped into this shop. I expected it to be Disney merchandise but there…read morewas nothing Disney in here, it was all Japan. The front of the store where we entered had some toys and stuff, and as you got further back you'd find authentic Japanese items. I bought a fan here; they have chopsticks; little Japanese tchotchkes. You can even buy a kimono here! This store is really quite large, bigger than most of the stores I visited in the Disney World parks. Toward the back is a ton of candy and Japanese sweets. I bought lots of fun treats to share with friends and family, including the sakura KitKat that's hard to find outside Japan, I think. The staff were very friendly. They wrote my daughter's name on something we bought--perhaps the fan--in Hiragana. There's also a Kidcot stop right outside this shop (near the candy section), so you may want to check to see if that's still the case to give the kiddos something fun to do.

As an Orlando local, this is one of my favorite places to stop when I'm at the Vineland Outlets. If…read moreyou love Disney merchandise but don't love paying full price, the Character Warehouse is absolutely worth a visit. The inventory is always changing, which is part of the fun. Some days it's fully stocked with incredible finds, and other days it's slim pickings. The store has become incredibly popular with resellers (I've even seen people live streaming while shopping!), so if something catches your eye, don't wait too long to grab it. I've found so many cool treasures here over the years--from park merchandise to Disney Cruise Line items--all at fantastic prices. It's essentially an overflow store for merchandise from the parks and cruise ships, so you never know what you'll discover. A few pro tips: there can be a line to get in, especially on weekends and during peak tourist seasons, so plan accordingly. And don't go in with a specific item in mind--this is more of a treasure hunt than a traditional shopping trip. Half the fun is not knowing what you'll find, and when you score an amazing Disney deal, it feels a little like finding pixie dust on clearance.

We went to WDW for the very first time and spent quite a bit on souvenirs including a few spirit…read morejersey shirts. I don't regret it but wish I had waited until I visited this store. They had a little bit of everything! They had some incredibly detailed princess dresses that had original price tags that read $300+ listed at 1/3 of the price! I did find a spirit shirt here for $30- I love it just as much as the $100 one I got inside the park. My husband had a field day on tshirts for himself. The parks have a way of making you feel you need it all- this store makes it possible to take a little more magic home. The selection was all over the place from last years items, home decor, lounge fly bags, cruise items, and designer items. When we vacation here again this will definitely be one of our stops! It was close to closing time so we didn't see a lot of employees helping in the store but the cashiers were nice and helped us check out quickly.

Now, if you have ever heard of Bronner's, that is…read morewhere we are from, and it is one of the largest Christmas stores in the country, perhaps the world, so we are famous for holiday decorations. 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.

The outside of the building caught my eye!…read more It is so flashy. This building stands out in town lol I knew right when I saw it, that I wanted to check it out. The bright colors and paint all over the building spoke to me. Inside, it is pretty similar to other gift shops int he area. My hotel was on the same street as this gift shop. There are a total of 4 gifts shops (to my knowledge) in the same area. I hit all 4 just to check them out and compare. Also, I needed umbrellas, socks, and other miscellaneous things during my trip. I came in here looking for an umbrella and ended up looking at other random things. I think every gift shop I went into had crocodile heads and teeth lol This is odd to me but normal for Florida I guess lol

Very bright and big sign outside…read more A lot of tourist gifts here, but nothing really that stood out as a deal other than some of the t-shirts (did not find the ones for $6 like on the giant sign outside). Yes, the pens I saw at the Publix were a dollar cheaper here, so if you want to get a few points of memorabilia from the trip, this isn't a bad place to do it. Toys, luggage, shot glasses and more... not all of it Disney or Universal related, there was a fair amount of just random Florida and Orlando merchandise, too. They didn't have the bead/charm items we were looking for, so we moved on, but others may find interest here (and cheaper than some of the parks though not necessarily any indication of quality or style).

I love Disney Springs and so does my family!…read more We usually stop at Disney Springs for dinner and enjoy walking around shopping and taking in the sites and sounds of Disney. When we don't have a park day scheduled, this becomes our alternative park day and it hits the spot. Plenty of food, options, music, and all the Disney shopping you can handle.

We came here with the family to walk around, check out the stores, and explore the restaurants…read more It's a fun place to spend some time, especially if you enjoy browsing Disney-themed shops and attractions. One suggestion: because it can get extremely hot, it would be great if they added more misters or cooling areas throughout the Springs. There isn't a lot of shade, so walking around outside can be a challenge unless you duck into the stores or restaurants for a break. The free parking is definitely a plus. You do have to go through a security screening before entering Disney Springs, but it was a smooth process and completely understandable. Just be prepared--it's very easy to spend a few dollars here! Between the Disney merchandise, treats, and unique shops, there are plenty of tempting things to see. Overall, it's a fun place to visit, especially with family, and a great way to enjoy some Disney magic without needing a park ticket. I'm sure some day they will end up charging for this area, but I hope not.
