It has a nice variety of Disney products to choose from including clothing, souvenirs, collectible pieces and even items inspired by each of the countries located throughout world showcase. This store changes merchandise often! The convenience factor is huge with this particular stop. If you are trying to get a souvenir before you begin your day then Port of Entry is the perfect spot. On the flip side, if you need a short break before starting your exploration of World Showcase then Port of Entry is a fantastic first stop as well! The Cast Members that my family and I met were very friendly, the store was nicely laid out and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. I usually purchase something at this store. This store used to have a lot of pins. My last visit, I ended up getting a Disney spirit jersey. It was definitely worth stopping for a few minutes to explore their entire collection! Port of Entry is an excellent shop and will give you a great way to kick off your World Showcase adventure at Epcot!

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.

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!

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.

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!

I didn't see $5.99 shirts anywhere, but picked up a Disney Shirt that was $14.99 we were going to buy. After feeling uncomfortable and followed, we decided to put it back and leave to go elsewhere and shop. Glad we did! We visited the Celebration Gift Shop down the street at 6111 and found the same shirt for $12.99 and the employees were much friendlier and didn't follow us. Mind you, we showed up in 2 Mercedes.

This is one of the largest shops inside Disney's Hollywood Studios. The outside décor of the shop is pretty unique. It looks like you're entering a cinema or movie theater to go see a movie! Inside the store, you'll see lots of Disney-themed apparel, headwear (like Mickey Ears), and even Jewelry! Typical hours for this store are 9:00 A.M to 9:00 P.M daily, however, you'll want to take a look at Disney World's Mobile application. Sometimes the start times do change for Hollywood Studios. If you're staying on property at Disney World, there is a 30 minute extra time you'll have, with the theme park opening at 8:30 if you have early access. Annual Passholder discounts and Disney Visa Cardmember Perks are accepted at this store! We had a great time shopping at this store when we visited Hollywood Studios. Since we ended up going down Sunset Boulevard later in the evening, this store was relatively busy, but overall it was a lot of fun!

My personal fave is the kitchen stuff, really love the classic Minnie red and white polka dot apron. They have items from all over the park at this one location so you can hit this place on your way out and not have to carry everything around. They can also do front of the park delivery, but keep in mind that takes time, so do it early so it arrives before you get done for the day. There is plenty of staff around and they are friendly. Great place to grab souvenirs from your visit. Don't forget a frame for your fave pictures!! Overall: A Solid merch shop with a variety of options for take home goodies.

It also has a nice selection of Disney Fine Art both in the store and around the outside areas of the shop. Service is fast when checking out. You can also utilize the Merchandise Mobile Checkout on your phone as well. There are a variety of items. When I went the featured items were the Bluey ones. The Island Mercantile food cart is another home to the viral Cookie Dough Ice Cream sandwich. It was the perfect treat on a hot day. It quite a large sandwich and it does melt quickly. However, it came beautifully wrapped which helps stop some of the melting. The sprinkles in the sandwich were a fun touch and it was an interesting mixture of cookie dough and vanilla ice cream. It can easily be shared with multiple people.

While I was shopping at this store during the holidays, there was a lot of Up merchandise, Disney Pins that were Animal Kingdom theme, and even a discovery series pin!

They have a table right outside, so you can put your things down to open your new blind-box figures. They also have a display with different Disney-themed backgrounds to take photos of your new figures. You can recycle your box after you're done, right outside the store.

The checkout lanes had 5-10 minutes wait due to a lot of people in the store. They had 3 register open and lines were moving quickly. They were also offering discounts and promotions for getting a Universal Credit card at the store.
